I would like to design a layout for my android app which has imageviews/Textviews placed as shown in the figure below.
Right now, i tried to use Absolute layout, but i know that will create problems as the screen size changes.

I thought I have understood the XML layout of Android, but it seems that I haven't. I want to have four ImageViews on one screen, to view four images at the same time.
It should look like this, where A to D represents the image views:
DDDAAA
DDDAAA
BBBCCC
BBBCCC
How can I do that? I tried it this way, but it's not working. The Eclipse Editor seems not to be very good for this either. Is there a better one to create those layouts?

I need to load several ImageViews into a layout. The ImageViews are used to show a rating using 'star' icons. The number of stars (i.e. the rating is determined during loading by reading a configuration file.
The ImageViews are sitting inside a RelativeLayout layout.
Currently I am using something like this:
CODE:........
My quesions are:
1) Is doing the loading dynamically (not using an xml) is the 'right' way of doing this ?
2) If it is, how do I make the stars display in a line, currently they get placed one on top of the other.
How can I layout 2 TextViews and a SeekBar on the same line in my layout xml file? I know But how can i specify TextView (one on the right, one on the left) to use only the width it needs to display the string in the TextView while SeekBar will use up the rest of the line? And i don't know the text vale of each TextView in the beginning and these TextView can change value in my application.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a layout with dynamic content. It has a variable number of textviews. On each textview I have to attach an event, a click event. I have to pass to that event some kind of information to know what textview has been clicked exactly. How can I pass this kind of information or how is the android way to do it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a layout question.
Say I have a RelativeLayout appearing at the bottom of my screen. In this, I want to add 2 textviews, in the center, one in the top center and one in the bottom center.
|--------------------------|
| Text1 |
| Text2 |
|--------------------------|
Something like that.
I'm trying to figure out how to animate in and out of Imageviews.
Basically I have a LinearLayout with an ImageView and a Button at the bottom. Everytime the button is pressed, onClick() is invoked and I do
image.setImageResource(imageArray[imageCounter]);
I simply change the image displayed on the ImageView by selecting different photos in the @drawable.
Now I want to put an animation when these imageviews are changed (when button pressed). I used
inAnimation = AnimationUtils.makeInAnimation(this,true);and in onClick() I do image.setImageResource(imageArray[imageCounter]); image.startAnimation(inAnimation);
This works fine too. The new image comes to the screen animated. But how can put an out animation too? It seems only one animation can be assigned with startAnimation().
What is the best way to animate an imageview OUT and then animate another imageview IN? Because I want to change the animation depending on the button pressed, I cannot use ViewFlipper. For example, if I press button_Anim1, current image will slideout from right and the new image will fade in. But if I press button_Anim2, current image will slideout from top and the new image will slidein from left. And so on.
I see that I cannot use two different image.startAnimation() in the onClick() method to make the current image View.INVISIBLE and then make the new image View.VISIBLE.
I need help coming up with a way of executing the following sequence using some type of view or layout combination in Android:I have 3 image objects... say object A, B, and C...I have tried every combination of Threads, AsyncTasks, Handlers, custom layouts, AnimationListeners, etc. but everything I've tried has failed.
If only the ViewSwitcher could take more than 2 views.
since I have updated my project (http://code.google.com/p/ bestcardgameever-android/) to the 1.5SDK, I need to switch the deprecated AbsoluteLayout with something else. The problem is the project is a card game that has cards showing and some of them need to be overlapping (take a look at this note the cards in the center) I could really use a tip on how to do this with a FrameLayoutetc.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to load bitmaps into ImageViews in Android, but I don't want to use the R.drawable syntax because I have a lot of images with a standard naming convention so it's much easier to get the image with some logic. For example, all my images are named:
img1.png
img2.png
img3.png
So if a user selects a value, let's say x, I show "img" + x + ".png" in the ImageView. Looks like Bitmap.decodeFile is what I need, but I need to know the syntax of how to get to my drawables folder since that's where the images are. Or if there's perhaps a better way.
I realize I could do this with a switch statement instead of concatenating the image name but that would be a lot of lines since I have so many images.
Can it be done? If it can, is it much of a performance hit, and is there an example anywhere?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIm messing with imageviews and I am able to align a single imageview in the center horizontally with android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
Now my main problem is that I have X imageviews and when I align them all like that, and then use the android:layout_toRightOf="", they just start from the middle.
I am trying to develop a custom gallery like application in which, i would like to place Image views along an elliptical path whose size varies with position.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement where few of my image views form border areas of an application, the application will be running on many screen sizes.
I'll be creating a uniform image for the smallest size possible, which can be repeated as many times as needed, and still presents the same image.
i want the image view to replicate the image contained whenever it is increased.
Perhaps I was able to describe my problem.
Is anything like this possible?
I tried 9-patch images, but I couldn't find nice articles on it which could explain how to create useful images with it which could suite my need.
I'm just starting to get the hang of animations, tweened animations that is. I have made several imageviews with pictures rotating and moving, and its all very fun, but I don't know what the best approach for doing multiple animations is.
For example I created a LinearLayout and stuck some ImageViews in it and wrote this:
CODE:...............
for each imageview. So they all spin. But now I want to step it up a gear. But reaidng other sources on the net it seems some people use canvas to do animations. What is the best way?
I have 5 text views to be added horizontally,and it needs to occupy the displaywidth.When i change the screen orientation,it should change based on it.Is that can be done by Layout or it should be done programmatically..
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am simply trying to create a layout where there are multiple TextViews (and ultimately an EditText) stacked vertically in the activity. However, the only thing displayed is my top title bar and the first TextView (with the "Name" text). Why won't anything else show up? Here is my code...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a class that extends android.app.Dialog, the layout is done in an xml file, and the setup (button listeners, etc) is done on the onCreate method. My problem is that whenever the dialog is displayed, then dismissed, and displayed again, the Editable TextViews are still populated with the information that was displayed previously. What is the common way to clear these text fields?

I am new to both Android and Stack Overflow. I have started developing and Android App and I am wondering two things:1) Is it possible to parametrize a TextView? Lets say I want to render a text message which states something like: "The user age is 38". Lets suppose that the user age is the result of an algorithm. Using some typical i18n framework I would write in my i18n file something like "The user age is {0}". Then at run time I would populate parameters accordingly. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this or similar approach in Android. 2) Let's suppose I have a complex object with many fields. Eg: PersonModel which has id, name, age, country, favorite video game, whatever. If I want to render all this information into a single layout in one of my activities the only way I have found is getting all needed TextViews by id and then populate them one by one through code. I was wondering if there is some mapping / binding mechanism in which I can execute something like: render(myPerson, myView) and that automatically through reflection each of the model properties get mapped into each of the TextViews. If someone has ever worked with SpringMVC, Im looking for something similar to their mechanism to map domain objects / models to views (e.g. spring:forms)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a string called CurrentString and is in the form of something like this "Fruit: they taste good". I would like to split up the CurrentString using the : as the delimiter. So that way the word "Fruit" will be split into its own string and "they taste good" will be another string.and then I would simply like to use SetText and 2 different textviews to display that string. What would be the best way to approach this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI' have a view that contains several textViews an ImageView and a Button . Because on small screen devices (or in landscape mode on big ones ) not all are visible I use a Scroll as the parent of the whole hierarchy to allow the user to view all the information. The things are suck that the button must be at the buttom of the view . However on big screen device , where it remains enough space at the buttom , the button is put immediatelly below the last textview,and seems to occupy all the remaining space (resulting in an unnactractive view) . Trying to use android:allignParentButtom ="true" not only that it has no effect but it puts the button at top of the screen . Has anyone any ideea how could I accomplish what I described ?

I have a activity on my app, that shows a lot of options that can be configurated (textviews and textedits on a linearlayout)
But I have a problem, there are more items that my windows can show, and I can't go down doing down movement with my finger on the screen.
I am trying to do it with scrollview, but i can't my screens appears black and all mny items dissapear
Here is my layout:
CODE:..................................
I have a horizontal LinearLayout, inside which I have 2 TextViews. Let's say that the LinearLayout's width is 320px. If the TextViews don't fit into the LinearLayout (they are together wider than 320px), I want to somehow achieve this:
The second TextView is fully displayed and is at the right edge of the LinearLayout
The first TextView is only shown partially, only first x characters are visible
What I mean:
[TextView1|TextView2_____________] // this is normal
[VeryVeryL...|VeryVeryLongTextView2] // VeryVeryLongTextView1 is not fully visible
I need some help with the following scenario, as I am so used to make all of my layouts with XML, but now I have a situation where that won't work.
I am working on the second version of my app that delivers news, in the comments section I used to use a listview to display user comments, but it doesn't work that great for comments that could be anywhere from 5 to 500+ characters long. So I want to create a whole bunch of TextViews in a scrollview and stack them below each other.
My best guess was this, although it is definitely wrong because it only shows one comment. I assume I have to use some kind of LayoutParams and so I've looked into it but am still not sure how exactly to use them.
I've been looking everywhere to see if there is a standard way of achieving this but I find a different solution everytime. Basically, I am trying to build a Custom ListView with an image and two-three lines of text besides it. In order to optimize it, I understand that the following have to be used: I could manage 1 and 2 but the third one is really confusing me. Is there a best practice for this?
