Android :: Prevent TextView From Stretching Out It's Parent LinearLayout?
Jul 24, 2010
It 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:

If 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 writing an app for DroidX which is 480x854.
I set up my AVD as follows:

That's it. The emulator loads fine and looks great but my app doesn't fill_parent for some reason. See here:
It doesn't scale all the way up and I'm not sure why.
Here is my XML:

I have a simple ExpandalbeList. For the group header view, I'm using a simple TextView, I am setting the background of the text to a drawable. I have the textview parameters set to FILL_PARENT, but the background of the TextView only covers the width of the text. I realize that I can put this all inside of a Linear Layout, but that just seems like a waste. isn't there a way to make the bounds of the text view stretch to the edge of the listview?

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 TextView inside a LinearLayout. The LinearLayout is able to receive focus, and I want the textColor of the TextView to change when it does. I thought using a ColorStateList would work, but it would seem that the TextView does not receive focus when the LinearLayout does. I know that, because I have tried this code...
And nothing gets logged. I don't want to use an OnFocusChangeListener on the LinearLayout to change the textColor of the TextView, I think this has to be done from XML. The reason for that is because in another activity I have an ExpandableListView with a custom adapter and custom views and Android changes the textColors of the TextViews (from light to dark) inside my custom views when items are focused.

The layout xml is as below. I have a RelativeLayout, which contains a TextView. The OnClick listener is set on RelativeLayout. The RelativeLayout has a selector background. What I want is, when user clicks on the RelativeLayout, the background of the RelativeLayout should change, and the color of the text of the TextView should change too. Even though I set color selector for the TextView, only the selector on RelativeLayout works. The color selector on TextView doesn't work. How can I implement change of both RelativeLayout background and text color of TextView when user clicks the layout?

I am trying to get those nicely looking android list dividers above and below a TextView. This is how far I am. code...
The ImageView makes what I want - a scaled to fill the parent separator, but this is somewhat not an ideal solution. The android:drawable* in the TextView do not scale to fill the parent - any ideas how to achieve this?

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?

I am in the process of trying to convert a desktop app to Android - and am struggling with some very basic stuff. When I specify a layout including a textview that holds a sizable amount of text wrap_content seems to arbitrarily break in the middle of a word - and I can not find any documentation indicating this can be controlled.

I 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.

Kind of a newbie question, I suppose:
I've got a horizontal layout with Button, SeekBar, Button. I'd like the actual space (and active area) of the button to be somewhat wider than the image (a round dot) used for the button.
So I tried setting paddingLeft and paddingRight on the button.
But what I got was the round dot stretched into an oval.
How would I increase the width of the button without stretching the image?

related to the the screen resolution change of Bluestacks for Windows.With changing registry entries it is possible to change the size to greater resolutions, for example FHD 1920x1080..Window and full screen will use FHD but the content is STRETCHED from a smaller resolution with gives text and some graphics an unsharp view.
Is it anyhow possible to get a REAL resolution change without stretching?

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'm trying to create a textView in the parent activity onActivityResult but the textView does not appear. There is an ImageView that takes up the whole parent activity. I can create a textView and place it, and it should go on top of the imageView?
In the parent class:
[HIGH]private void addClothes(int menuId) {
Intent chooseClothesIntent = new Intent(this, ChooseClothesActivity.class);
chooseClothesIntent.putExtra("menuId", menuId);
startActivityForResult(chooseClothesIntent, 1);
}[/HIGH]
[Code]...
then in my new activity:
[HIGH]@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
try {
ClothingItem ci = mListContents.get(position);
String imagePath = ci.getImagePath();

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.
