Android move last item of recyclerview above ad

Here is what I want.
The last item of recyclerview should be always above ad. Now it is partially hidden by an ad. App consists of main_layout where is FrameLayout with the name content_frame where fragment lies. Here is what I have written in code:
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"

app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_navigation_items" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout >
fragment_list.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/rl"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<androidx.swiperefreshlayout.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
android:id="#+id/swipeContainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</androidx.swiperefreshlayout.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
FragmentList.java
private void initAds(View view) {
RelativeLayout relativeLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.rl);
AdView adView = new AdView(view.getContext());
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, view.findViewById(R.id.recyclerview).getId());
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
adView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
adView.setAdUnitId(BuildConfig.FLAVOR.equals("dev") ? AppConstants.TEST_BANNER_ID : AppConstants.FRAGMENT_LIST_BANNER_ID);
adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
relativeLayout.addView(adView);
adView.setId(Util.getIdNotUsed(requireActivity()));
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
RecyclerView rv = view.findViewById(R.id.recyclerview);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams2 = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams2.addRule(RelativeLayout.ABOVE, adView.getId());
rv.setLayoutParams(layoutParams2);
}
So how can I make the last item of recycler view to be above ad? If there is anything you need more just tell me. Thank you.

You can add the adview and set its visibility to GONE when the ad is not displaying & make it visible while displaying the ad and constrain the recyclerview to its top.

I found a problem. I should have put SwipeRefreshLayout instead of RecyclerView rv = view.findViewById(R.id.recyclerview); to add ABOVE.

Remove empty spaces between cardviews inside GridLayout

I need help on how to remove the empty spaces between cardViews inside a Grid Layout. The empty space forms below each row of cards.I want to remove this extra space.How do i fix this.I have included a screenshot to clarify this.
Here is my code for my layout XML
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView

</RelativeLayout>
My java MainActivity class
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements ImageAdapter.OnItemClickListener {
private RecyclerView recyclerview;
private ImageAdapter adapter;
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
recyclerview = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
adapter = new ImageAdapter(this, uploads);
recyclerview.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this,3));
recyclerview.setPadding ( 1,1,1,1 );
}
}
Here is a Screenshot

Remove
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
from your CardView

This is MainActivity I gave a normal swipe refresh layout code which is working in emulator but not in real devices..
MainActivity.java
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
swipe = (SwipeRefreshLayout) findViewById(R.id.swipe);
swipe.setOnRefreshListener(new SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() {
#Override
public void onRefresh() {
LoadWed();
}
});
LoadWed();
public void LoadWed(){
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.setWebViewClient(new myWebClient());
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);
swipe.setRefreshing(true);
webView.loadUrl("https://localhost/admin");
webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
swipe.setColorSchemeResources(android.R.color.holo_blue_bright,
android.R.color.holo_green_light,
android.R.color.holo_orange_light,
android.R.color.holo_red_light);
}

Added FrameLayout as a first child of DrawerLayout. And added TextView, ProgressBar, SwipeRefreshLayout as a child of that FrameLayout and now it works as expected.
Like This
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:id="#+id/mains">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/swipe">
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="-21dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="-2dp" />
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
</FrameLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="#layout/navigation_header"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_view"></android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

adding an image inside navigation drawer - android

I want to add an image with a link inside a navigation drawer,
is it possible to add an image inside navigation drawer ?
I added coding like this but it is showing below error please check
ImageView imageView6 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView6);
imageView6.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
specialOffers = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.specialOffers);
specialOffers.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
specialOffers.loadUrl("http://www.fbcdubai.com/membership/offres-privileges/");
}
});
}

open nav_header_layout_name.xml and add image view say (ProfileImage)
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/nav_head"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:background="#drawable/side_nav_bar"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/home_profile_image"
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="170dp"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/nav_header_vertical_spacing"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/profile_image"/>
</LinearLayout>
to access this image view from the java class:
- NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view_id);
- View hView = navigationView.getHeaderView(0);
- ImageView ProfileImage = (ImageViwe) hView.findViewById(R.id.home_profile_image);

create a listView inside the drawer navigation then create a custom item with image view finally attach it to a custom adapter
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<include
layout="#layout/***"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/***"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include layout="#layout/****"
android:id="#+id/nav"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/***"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
cust item
enter code here
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dp"
android:background="#00000000">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/****"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/****"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>

Certainly you can do this by setting a listener to your image inside the getView method of the adapter
discu.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//put here your code
});

No animations/selections in Tabhost

I am trying to implement a tabview with the nice gradual change from one view to another animation and have the current tab highlighted. At current all I can get is the basic tabview that functions, but does instant switching of tabs and no highlighting of selections. Here is my current code:
package com.example.ex.test;
public class MainActivity extends navBar {
private FragmentTabHost mTabHost;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
mTabHost = (FragmentTabHost)findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
mTabHost.setup(this, getSupportFragmentManager(), R.id.realtabcontent);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab1").setIndicator("Tab1"),
smithingTable.class, null);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab2").setIndicator("Tab2"),
smithingTable2.class, null);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab3").setIndicator("Tab3"),
Map.class, null);
}
}
meanwhile in my activity main I have:
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TabWidget
android:id="#android:id/tabs"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/realtabcontent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
and in tab1 for example (tab2 is the same but with slight variation)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".DeviceFragment" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="test1" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:src="#drawable/newcomer_map" />

I would really recommend you use Material Design Tabs, it alredy has nice transitions and its much more customizable.
Here's a very good post on how to implement it

Found out that I needed to add pageviews/listeners
