I was wondering if there is a way for placing a view to the right side of another view and centering it vertically on the second views height. In know this can be done using a LinearLayout, but for other reasons the 2 views must be part of the same RelativeLayout.

Basically I trying to setup a homescreen in which part of it can scroll vertically, but another part doesn't move. I currently have Lightning Launcher, which is great by the way, but I can only set it up so that the entire screen scrolls. I was thinking it would be nice for have a spot on the left side of the screen for favorite apps and maybe some widgets (I guess you could call it a "dock"), and on the right side of the screen have a scrolling list of the rest of my applications. Probably with 1/3 of the screen being the left portion and 2/3 being the right portion. Can this be done with Lightning Launcher? or any other launcher? and how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.
The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.
The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.
What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.
I have a ViewGroup and it has a few children. And one of them is a TextView ("+id/text"). In my code, I would like to know how can I add a new View or ViewGroup which will be positioned vertically aligned and below the TextView (+"id/text")?I have followed the advice below and try to use TableLayout. As a test, I try to layout statically to make sure things are aligned correctly. Here is my layout xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout android:id="@+id/panel" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight">
<TableRow
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">..........
I am writing an android application that has 3 views one below the other. Each view has to be of equal height, depending on the screen size. Each view occupies the full width of the screen. How do you specify in the layout xml that the view has to take up 1/3rd height of the device display height? What would be the appropriate layout to use in this case?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a custom class that extends view class. Now this custom view is set in the listadapter that extends baseadapter. Along with the custom view I have a TextView in the list.
So the xml i inflate for list view is

the customview sets a rounded rectangle behind the text in TextView. Now The height of the textview vary as per its content. So I want the height of the customview also vary as per the height of TextView.
Is it possible to control the height of a ListView's header view(s)? If I try containing my header view in a layout and set the height to say, 50 or 100, the height in the view seems to stay around 30.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm going to develop a mobile version of my webapp. Most documentation I've read suggests one of the following approaches:create a separate domain (m.example.com)using conditional css style sheets, but serve the same html
I'd like to take a completely different approach. I'm using MVC, and would decide which template to render on the server side. My model and controller will be the same, the domain will be the same, but the html will be served differently for mobile users.Has anyone tried this? Any pitfalls to this approach?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm still trying to figure out how best to layer views on top of other views. I want to do something like the ZoomButtons on top of a custom view. I tried getting the ZoomButtonsController's parent and then adding views, but I didn't have enough control and they ended up on top of the buttons. I've gotten close by using a FrameLayout and some gravity on the top two views. But this has some interesting effects. Since this is contained with a tab, these two top views appear on top of all four of the tab pages. I want them on top of one of those pages only. Apparently, nested FrameLayouts don't mix well. What is the proper and expected way to do this? Here is more or less my complete layout....................
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a possibility to add a view or derivative (button, textview, imageview etc...) to another view without having to go through layouts?
I have a class called ScreenView, it derives from View (e.g. public class ScreenView extends View).
I wanted to display text into it, labels, images etc..
On an iPhone it's trivial, simply create my objects and use addSubview method ; you can embed any UI objects into another. Most UI toolkits work that way too.
Problem with layouts is that I haven't found an easy way to properly position a subview (say a text view) in a given location of the enclosing View. I want one to contain the other...
I was hoping I had missed something in the documentation (which is far from being intuitive that's for sure) and I could do something like myView.addView(subview). But it ain't so :)
As a side question, what is the closest to iPhone's UILabel in the Android world?
A UILabel can contain a text or a graphic. Right now I've been using TextView and ImageView but they aren't anywhere as flexible when it comes to layout as a UILabel
Edit: Making my View inherit from ViewGoup instead, let me add subview..
However, I want to draw in my view. I found that when ScreenView extends ViewGroup, the onDraw function is never called then.
Something like:

Would paint in yellow my view if ScreenView extends View ; but not if it extends ViewGroup.
How do you draw directly in the view then?
The reason for me to do this, I have created these 2 views in the beginning of the app. SO they are always present. But in some cases where i want only 1 view(which is surfaceview) and if i dont need the 2nd view(i.e, videoview), i am still getting a black patch at the palce where i have defned a videoview. want to get rid of this. Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to disable views/surfaces corresponding to them? If so how can we do this?

I have an List Activity with a Base Adapter where the contents have changed (example - the rows are reordered). I have tried invalidate.
Code...
Is it possible to add a view dynamically that overlaps other views in the layout. I have Linear Layout defined for the activity. As part of the Layout I have a custom View. The content changes dynamically and sizes appropriately based on the content size, with fill_parent for width and wrap_content for height. But what I want is, dynamically take over the full screen and then based on a click go back to the normal mode. Is there a mode to display a view where - in it can overlap all other views in the layout?
