I have designed a UI in FIGMA that looks like the below image
And when I am trying the same in android studio, it doesn't look good.
Below is the code I am using
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/dark"
android:layout_width="364dp"
android:layout_height="46dp"
android:layout_marginTop="36dp"
android:background="#drawable/bg_layout"
android:elevation="8dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/toolbar">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:src="#drawable/night"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"/>
</LinearLayout>
The UI looks like this
How can I achieve the design which I created using Figma?
Thank you in advance.
To implement the design, material card view provides you with most of the features.
The Elevation: app:cardElevation="dp"
The Outline : app:strokeWidth="dp" specifying the width
The Outline Color: app:strokeColor="#color/" specifying the color
The Corner Radius: app:cardCornerRadius="dp" specifying the
radius.
Like:
<com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:cardCornerRadius="#dimen/corner_radius_8dp"
app:cardElevation="#dimen/elevation_4dp"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
app:strokeColor="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:strokeWidth="#dimen/stroke_width">
<!--Content goes here-->
</com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView>
There are multiple ways to create such type of UI in Android.
You can create rounded drawable and place that drawable in background of image.
You can group the box with text in Figma and then export the same UI and use it in android. (You need to create two UI (enable/disable).
I hope you understand what I want to say.
Thank you.

Recently, designers in my company liked creating half-above elements in layouts for Android apps. I've been struggling for a while trying to make these elements behave as good as possible, but I'm already tired of it. Is there any way of positioning views like on this image
with an assumption that if user touch row/card it became "checked" and this black dot icon became visible (second click makes it invisible of course).
You can do something like this:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_toEndOf="#+id/circle_view"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_bright">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="#+id/second_view"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</FrameLayout
<View
android:id="#+id/circle_view"
android:layout_width="16dp"
android:layout_height="16dp"
android:background="#android:color/holo_red_dark"
android:layout_marginEnd="-8dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
second_view is endOf circle_view so if circle_view is gone second_view will align to startOf parent.
circle_view should have marginEnd set to negative value of its width divided by two
Currently I'm trying to insert a drop-down kind of sliding menu (not sure how it's called). The idea is that user touches the arrow or any area of the menu and drag upwards in order to open the menu. But I have no idea how or where can I find tutorial for this.
Check this code posted in github: https://github.com/umano/AndroidSlidingUpPanel.
You can design your own view in sliding menu.
<com.sothree.slidinguppaneldemo.SlidingUpPanelLayout
android:id="#+id/sliding_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="My Content"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center|top"
android:text="Another Content"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</com.sothree.slidinguppaneldemo.SlidingUpPanelLayout>
The easiest way would be using a library like https://github.com/umano/AndroidSlidingUpPanel
But since google released CoordinatorLayout and Behavior I would recommend you to take a look at that, although it's kinda new and much harder to do.
I have the Views attached to each other in the following order:
Activity->RelativeLayout->RelativeLayout->Text
When I change the Y of one of the Text attached to the inner RelativeLayout, parts of it are cut.
Here's a screenshot:

I'm coding purely in Java, no XML.
What's going on?
It looks like one layout is overlapping on another because the menu bar is pushing it down. If you just want the text centered I would suggest setting that in the parameters like so.
android:gravity="center"
This places the text in the center if that is what you want.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:id="#+id/textView12"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" />
</LinearLayout>
As #Jonathan Whalen suggested you probably have some overlap, I suggest you to change your relative layouts background color to see wich one is overlapping the text. Also try to not use fixed height for the layouts but use wrap_content instead, as fixed dims are frequently the cause of layouts overlap.
I have multiple ImageViews which are transparent and are meant to over lap one another. I am aligning then to one another but one problem presist. How can I set the order in which they are layered? Ive tried revising the code in both xml and how the images are set in the actual java code...
I have tried FrameLayout but maybe Im not using it right...here is my implementation:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
tools:context=".RadarActivity" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageview_topo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="45dp"
android:scaleType="center"
android:visibility="invisible" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageview_counties"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="45dp"
android:scaleType="center"
android:visibility="invisible" />
No matter what I do...imageview_topo is always placed on top. Even in the code i have instantated topo first and retrieved its image first!
Thank you!
I referred a site here that says:
If multiple child views exist, then they are drawn, in order, one atop
the other. This means that the first view added to the frame layout
will display on the bottom of the stack, and the last view added will
display on top.
You can check this site too: http://blog.neteril.org/blog/2013/10/10/framelayout-your-best-ui-friend/
May be i can help you more if you show the screenshot of your UI.
OK, Im starting to get the hang of how XML operates with the Android interface, but I've ran into a problem...
I just have a HorizontalScrollView with a RelativeLayout inside to which I will place other views later. The HorizontalScrollView as you can see is sitting above a button, and below another button. I like where its placed, but I dont want it exactly right above and below the buttons. I would like some spacing (padding). Ive tried adding padding but it seems to have no effect...
Heres my attempted XML:
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollview_xyzInfo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="130dp"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_refresh"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/button_mySettings"
android:paddingTop="20dp"
android:paddingBottom="20dp"
android:background="#drawable/refresh_selector" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</RelativeLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
Any help would be much appreciated :-)
Nevermind! Use margins when seperating two views like so:
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"

Padding not working Android
Padding and margin works only with LinearLayout. Which layout are you using?
