Android :: Programmatically Include Layout - I.e. Without XML

Jul 7, 2010

I've created an Activity subclass called CustomTitlebarActivity. Essentially, each main activity in my app will have a custom titlebar with many common features such as a Home button, a title, a search button, etc. In my current implementation, I am still explicitly using an include statement in the layout XML for each CustomTitlebarActivity: <include layout="@layout/titlebar" />

It seems natural that I should be able to do this within CustomTitlebarActivity. I have two questions: What code can replace this include tag, and where should I put the code? (My first instinct would be to put it in CustomTitlebarActivity's setContentView method.)

On a related note, I would appreciate insight into better ways to reuse android UI code (even if, per se, the titlebars need to vary slightly between activities.)

Android :: Programmatically Use Include On Xml?

Jul 11, 2010

So I read the xml tricks 2 from developer.android.com, and it worked for me. But I need to programmatically include 1 xml into another. addview returns

Android :: Include XML Argument In Some Other Layout

Aug 28, 2009

I have some layout xml that looks like this:
== file1.xml == <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout ...> ... ... </LinearLayout>

I want to include that in some other layout xml, so I do this --
== file2.xml == <include layout="@layout/file1.xml"/>

The question I have is how to pass arguments (and refer to them) from file2.xml to file1.xml. So, for example:
== file1.xml == <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout ...>
<TextView android:text="@text" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/> ... </LinearLayout>
== file2.xml == <include layout="@layout/file1.xml" text="abc"/>

Android :: Relative Layout And Include Tag

Jun 14, 2009

I'm reworking some of my layouts to use Relative layout. I have some building blocks which I'd like to reuse. The problem I seems to have with the include of the layout and position other layouts out of this include. Example:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height=wrap_content"

I'm building a jar so that other developers can use the view I create in their Android applications. I'm wondering if it is possible to use a layout resource in my jar so I can build the layout of my view or if I need to build up my view programmatically.

Android :: XML Layout's Include Tag Really Work?

Apr 13, 2010

I am unable to override attributes when using <include> in my Android layout files. When I searched for bugs, I found Declined Issue 2863: "include tag is broken (overriding layout params never works)"

Since Romain indicates this works in the test suites and his examples, I must be doing something wrong.

My project is organized like this:

Android :: How To Dynamically Include A XML Layout

Oct 28, 2010

I want to decompose my UI into several XML Layouts. The first one would be the main layout, and the other ones would be the content layouts.

I would like to be able to set which content_layout should be included dynamically during runtime, so I don't want to set a "layout="@+layout/content_layout" in my XML file.

Here are my layouts:

main_layout.xml:

Android :: Choose Button Layout To Include At Runtime

Dec 17, 2009

I have a complex dialog-layout that has to be customized for small screens to decrease its height on such devices. This can easily be achieved by decreasing the height of several single Buttons and Textfields in the layout, each by a small amount. Of course much of the layout still stays the same, so I figured I could use the <include/>-tag. This was the idea:

/res/layout/dialog_layout.xml ==> includes "@layout/include_button_layout"
/res/layout/include_button_layout.xml /res/layout-small/include_button_layout.xml

I figured that android would choose which button-layout to include at runtime. I couldn't get it to run, so I guess I was wrong. And if so, can anyone confirm whether this is the way to do it?

/res/layout/dialog_layout.xml ==> includes "@layout/include_above_buttons"
==> includes "@layout/include_button_layout_default"
==> includes "@layout/include_below_buttons"
/res/layout/include_above_buttons.xml
/res/layout/include_below_buttons.xml
/res/layout/include_button_layout_default.xml
/res/layout/include_button_layout_small.xml
/res/layout-small/dialog_layout.xml
==> includes "@layout/include_above_buttons"
==> includes "@layout/include_button_layout_small"
==> includes "@layout/include_below_buttons"

Android :: Changing Values Inside Layout Included With Include

Oct 28, 2010

I have in many of my screens that re mostly constructed of LinearLayouts a FrameLayout that should take up the bottom leftovers of the screen (using layout_height="0dp" layout_weight="1") inside it there's a FrameLayout with gradients background and in it's middle with some padding lies a button with some text, naturally i need the text and onClicked properties to me different from screen to screen. I considered using <include > tag for the above compound in my layouts, but as far as i can see i can't really change (at least not in xml) the button text and callback, is that really so?

Android :: How To Set Layout Gravity Of RelativeLayout Programmatically?

Nov 9, 2010

I have ScrollView with RelativeLayout as a child of ScrollView. I am trying through JAVA code to set Layout_Gravity to CENTER so my RelativeLayout is centered (horizontally and vertically) in the middle of ScrollView (that covers whole screen).This works fine in XML and produces desired result, but when I try to do this programmatically, it seems there is no way to set Layout_Gravity of RelativeLayout. I tried using LayoutParams, but couldn't find anything there that would help me to center RelativeLayout in the middle. So, am I missing something or this simply can't be done?

Android : Way To Programmatically Set Parameters Which Are Set Statically By Layout

Sep 2, 2009

I'm programmatically adding views to a LinearLayout inside a ScrollView and i'm running into some issues setting margins and padding etc for child views of the LinearLayout.

i've tried child.setPadding() and adding the view with a MarginLayoutParams set up right, but the child view still fills the parent width.

Android : Get Resolution - Programmatically Set Layout Folder / Supporting Multiple Screens

Aug 19, 2010

My application will have two layouts, one for large screens and one for normal. For testing I'm working with one phone (800x480 240dpi) and one tablet (1024x600 240dpi) but both are detected as large screen hdpi and long aspect ratio, so I'm not able to assign different layouts.

The only approach I think that can work is to create layout-large and layout-normal, get the resolution and programmatically set the layout folder. Is that possible?

Android :: Add View To XML Layout Programmatically / Make It Z Order Below Existing View

Oct 8, 2010

I have an XML layout with some custom tabs, a heading, and a ProgressBar(main.xml). I wish to add another XML layout(home.xml) to the main.xml layout, as i wish to keep main.xml re-usable for other activity's layouts and simply add things to it as necessary.The problem: after inflating R.layout.home into rootLayout, it seems as though the ProgressBar contained in rootLayout is hidden underneath the content of home.xml.Is there a way to tell certain views(via XML) to float above other views when the layout is constructed in this way?if not, am i forced to use methods such as progressBar.bringToFront() to raise targeted views to the top?what alternatives do i have in z-ordering views when some layouts are constructed using inflation?

Android :: Unable To Open Both Main.xml Files / From Layout & Layout-land At Same Time?

Aug 14, 2010

While developing for Android, I am unable to open more than one main.xml file in an Eclipse editor at a time.Each time I open one, it simply replaces the editor (tab) of the first main.xml with the new one, instead of opening a new tab - even if the contents of the existing tab were unsaved.Even stranger, I can open multiple main.xml files from different projects with no problems.This only happens when they're within the same project.
