View 1 RepliesIf I have 2 LinearLayouts split %50/%50 everything is fine. Weights are 1 and 1. As soon as I add a TextView inside the top LinearLayout, it stretches that layout. I use "wrap_content" as the documentation says I should when it comes to weights. As you can see the red and green should be split evenly and text on grey background should be inside red box.
Here is the code:..............
Now if I switch to "fill parent" as follows it actually works but it creates another problem. Here is the code (so far so good):
So looking at above we were forced to use "fill_parent" and we would think like we fixed the problem but here is the problem if we are using "fill_parent" (I took out the textview just to show the problem, textview doesnt make the problem go away anyways):
As you can see I assign the weights 3 (top red) and 2 (bottom green) but what actually happens is they get flipped: The red becomes 2 and bottom becomes 3. Just measure the pixels too see.
Here are the results of the 3 codes: http://imgur.com/iVt8g.jpg
I'm trying to accomplish something fairly simple but struggling to get the right combination of layoutWidth/weight to make this work.
I have a horizontally oriented LinearLayout with width fill_parent containing two TextViews. The TextView on the right has variable width text, and I want the TextView on the left to adjust its size accordingly to as much width as possible. Essentially, the right TextView must always show all of its contents and the left TextView should extend as far as possible to the edge of the TextView on the right.

I have a LinearLayout that contains three TextViews. I want to highlight a TextView or the whole Layout when user clicks on the TextView. Is they any way to make it happen?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt seems that a TextView inside a LinearLayout forces that LinearLayout to be larger. I am trying split my screen top 50% and bottom 50% and also the bottom 50% is split into 3 parts. So I did my weights 3 (for the top), and then 1, 1, 1 (for the bottom) for a total of 6.
Here is what it looks like. http://i.imgur.com/3FJSW.jpg
As soon as I take out the TextView inside the first LinearLayout the splits are proper. The moment I put the TextView inside the top LinearLayout the top LinerLayout gets larger by the amount of the the TextView.
Here is my code:

We are using TextView's Ellipsize function to scrolling text in it and there many other controls in our window. We noticed CPU would go up to 50% if text started scrolling. After digging deeper, we found all controls in our layout kept drawing when texts scrolling. We wonder why? And how to avoid all controls redrawing?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI can add children just fine, but I'm never getting my custom onDraw() being called. dispatchDraw() gets called, but that seems to have a different canvas (the one that's within the padding. I need to draw on the whole layout area). Is there some flag that needs to get set to get onDraw() called for the layout?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI basically want a widget which has a simlar layout as the twitter widget.As you can see the tweet text nicely wraps around the AUTHOR element. This can be done with one TextView using the following method: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#sele.The problem is that its a widget and i only have access to the ui elements using the RemoteViews.I was thinking of using a layout manager for this, but its impossible because textviews are always rectangular.So how do i do this? I know you helped twitter build their application.

I even have to bookmarks on the same website, just a link to 2 different forums...one shows up, one doesn't. Cant get the mobile or desktop version of espn to show up. Almost none of my desktop bookmarks showed up so i made some mobile ones and only about half show up. I've rebooted my launcher restarted chrome, restarted the phone etc etc.
Haven't found another widget where all thumbnails show up either, at least htat will work on ics/chrome.
GS3 running Apex launcher if that matters.
How can you make it so when you tap on a favorite person in the widget it gives you the choice to call or or sms?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a RelativeLayout that has two LinearLayouts in it. One is a bunch of TextViews and EditTexts that make up a form and the other is a ButtonBar that submits the form.
anyways, everything looks great in portrait, but when i switch to landscape mode the bottom TextView/EditText element is being hidden by the buttonbar.
screenshot to show the problem. as you can see some of the "email" textview and all of the email edit text are being hidden by button bar.

I have created an App Widget for Android 1.5. It uses a TextView to present a number of individual Text Links using ClickableSpans. However, the onClick event handler on the ClickableSpan is never called, it appears that you can not select individual components on the widget just the whole widget.This approach works fine for a normal app, so what I do I need to change to make this work for a widget?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make an android widget like the Google Voice Widget where users can go through an array of Strings which is retreived from the SQLite database. The problem is using global variables in the widget provider. I need to hold the index of the value they are currently on in order to pass it to the intents which are created when the left or right buttons are created. The variable is always returned as zero though.

I want to do something like that. For example, I have a textview with String
Alibaba love Mary so muck. In that String alibaba and Mary have a event to open something but I can't know how to use event for Mary and Alibaba seperately
I have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

I have a TextView that I created in the main.xml. In my app.java I am dynamically positioning that TextView based on where the user taps the screen. The problem I am having is that when I call myTextView.setPadding(100,100,0,0), it moves the actual Text of the TextView, but does not move the Colored Background of the TextView.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Handcent for text messaging. On previous non-smart phones I've been able to see not only that an SMS has been delivered, but also the time when it got delivered (ie when the recipient turned on their phone or whatever). Handcent will tell me whether or not it's been delivered, but not give a delivery time. Is this right? Is there any other app that can do this?
