In theory what you are describing should not work (“Because it the parent gets it’s height from the childs and vice-versa”.) However, we made it work in LinearLayout because it was a very common use case. I recently added similar support to FrameLayout (this feature should be part of Honeycomb.) What you are doing is … Read more
Short answer Set gravity linearLayout.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); Set layout gravity // the LinearLayout’s parent is a FrameLayout FrameLayout.LayoutParams params = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(400, 400); params.gravity = Gravity.TOP|Gravity.RIGHT; linearLayout.setLayoutParams(params); Background Previously, I have explained the difference between ‘gravity’ and `layout_gravity’ for views within a layout. Setting the gravity of a LinearLayout itself changes the location of the views within … Read more
I had a similar problem and the solution IS to set fixed size for the Textview. So why not do it progammatically? In my case, it solved the problem. Here is my solution in details : The layout is a bit complex with a lot of changing values. Here is the interesting part : layout.xml … Read more
A couple of things you can check in your code: On the View that is being added, check that you call its setLayoutParameter method with an appropriate ViewGroup.LayoutParameter. When you adding the new Views, make sure you are doing it on the UI thread. To do this, you can use the parent View‘s post method. … Read more
You want that hierarchy programmatically. – LinearLayout(horizontal) – ImageView – LinearLayout(vertical) – TextView – TextView – TextView – TextView Ok lets start with Parent LinearLayout LinearLayout parent = new LinearLayout(context); parent.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); parent.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL); //children of parent linearlayout ImageView iv = new ImageView(context); LinearLayout layout2 = new LinearLayout(context); layout2.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); layout2.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL); parent.addView(iv); parent.addView(layout2); //children … Read more
You can use this way. if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) { // If we’re running on Honeycomb or newer, then we can use the Theme’s // selectableItemBackground to ensure that the View has a pressed state TypedValue outValue = new TypedValue(); this.getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.selectableItemBackground, outValue, true); textView.setBackgroundResource(outValue.resourceId); }
For this You Need two separate layout, one is parent and another one is child layout. In parent there will be only LinearLayout and Another view will consist a custom layout which you want to add on this. For Example follow this. layout1.xml <LinearLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:layout_width=”fill_parent” android:layout_height=”fill_parent” android:orientation=”vertical” > </LinearLayout> And some other Layout like … Read more
With this: int layoutID = getResources().getIdentifier(“layout”+n, “layout”, getPackageName()); you basically retrieve the id of a layout file that you can inflate. It’s the dynamic version of int layoutID = R.layout.layout1; What you intend to do is retrieve a view from an already inflated layout. That’s how you’d do it: int layoutID = getResources().getIdentifier(“layout”+n, “id”, getPackageName()); … Read more
LinearLayout LL = new LinearLayout(this); LL.setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN); LL.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL); LayoutParams LLParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT); LL.setWeightSum(6f); LL.setLayoutParams(LLParams); ImageView ladder = new ImageView(this); ladder.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher); FrameLayout.LayoutParams ladderParams = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.BOTTOM); ladder.setLayoutParams(ladderParams); FrameLayout ladderFL = new FrameLayout(this); LinearLayout.LayoutParams ladderFLParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 0); ladderFLParams.weight = 5f; ladderFL.setLayoutParams(ladderFLParams); ladderFL.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN); View dummyView = new View(this); LinearLayout.LayoutParams dummyParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,0); dummyParams.weight … Read more
Answer: the ScrollView is not working when used as the root element of an XML layout. It has to be wrapped inside a LinearLayout. Solution then : <LinearLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”match_parent” > <ScrollView android:id=”@+id/scroll_view” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”match_parent” android:fillViewport=”true” > <LinearLayout android:id=”@+id/scroll_layout” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:orientation=”vertical” > </LinearLayout> </ScrollView> </LinearLayout>
