I want to design a custom card view which displays information about a duel in an android app. Here is a screenshot of what the view looks like right now.
The image and the green button should be clickable, however, this design is currently done in one custom view extending CardView. The green button is a Rectangle and the polygon is a filled Path which overlays the button.
Because I have done everything in one onDraw() method, there is no onClick() method for solely the button or solely the image. Is there any clever way to do this? Maybe I'm conceptually wrong somewhere?
My thoughts so far:
Have a transparent button on top of the green button in the xml
Maybe there is a way to include a button in the onDraw() method
Make the whole view clickable and include the image in the xml
This is how I solved it now. I changed the custom view to only display the skewed rectangle. The other resources were created in a seperate xml file. With an <include />, I was able to place the rectangle over the button.

I'm trying to make this effect but has no idea, how to achieve it:
My idea is to have a Frame Layout which wraps the video fragment, and the Video fragment has motion Layout as its root layout. So, Frame Layout is in main Activity, but motion Layout is inside a .xml file, which will soon be inflated as the Video fragment's layout. It looks something like this (The frag container will match parent in its width and height):
My questions are:
Is this a good idea to make this transition?
How to make the dimming effects that YouTube has? I'm planning to use this Listener for tracking the transition but has no idea how to make the slowly dimming effect :(. MotionLayout.TransitionListener
Any idea?
One way I can think of cover the screen with a a View that is
#000000 and transition the views color to #FF000000 using a custom Attribute.
The View would need to be gone, Invisible, or translationZ = -1 at the start
I have created an overlay menu that is a rectangle.
It displays on top of everything else while active. All other apps, the home screen, etc.
If you click anywhere outside of this rectangle your click hits
whatever is visible.
If you click the red part it allows you to drag the menu around the
screen. Clicking the green part performs some function.
I have created this rectangle from inflating layout xml. The rectangle itself is a relativeLayout and the green and red parts are both imageView children.
Since I'm unable to move the relativeView off screen and since the background needs to be clickable my only solution was to calculate margins and apply them to the relative view to imitate the desired effect.
However, the code to calculate these margins is almost 50 lines and fairly complex and hard to understand at a glance if someone else needs to refactor. I can post the code but I don't believe it's relevant to the actual problem's context.
Is there a much simpler way to do this that I'm missing? Is my approach wrong?
I hope this simple project may help you Android Floating Widget
I'm developing my first real app and found inspiration in Instagrams design.
I would like to know what the red and blue area is called and if these exist within androids own libraries so I can implement them.
I guessing that the blue area is something called carousel list/tab-list or button menu or maybe a lot of radio buttons? If you, for example, press on the Juno filter, the list will automatically scroll towards left, so you can see the rest.
The red rectangle is horizontalscrollview and the blue rectangle is LinearLayout with three child.
there are multiple options but I think the blue box in LinearLayout and Red one might be a simple scrollview
I am designing my activity screen using eclipse but whenever I move an object e.g. a button it snaps around and I find it hard to position things where i want them.
Is there some setting I can change as as soon as I add a second button it snaps the other button to another position it is so annoying!
Also if I have an image button why can't i resize this, even with a normal button if i try to make it larger it just fits to the text and wont make the button bigger or it just flicks to a random place on the activity?
thanks
Probably you're trying to place components freely in the View but you're not considering the LayoutManager behavior. If you try to position your component in a LinearLayout, for example, the components will be placed following its rules, and these components will not stay where you drop them.
Try to understand better how the layouts works on Android. But for now, the AbsoluteLayout or RelativeLayout may be what you're looking for.
About the components size, you'll need to understand better how to use layout properties for these components. See the question How to size buttons for more information.
I have a custom popup window with a custom image background in which I need to place three custom buttons with their own background images. I have only one set of images for all the components, so I want all the parts to scale appropriately. My question now is how do I make sure that the buttons line up with the appropriate parts of the background image of the popup window. I have been experimenting with all sorts of widths and heights and I can not make it look consistent on all my test devices. Can anyone give me some pointers?
EDIT: Just to make it as clear as possible, the image below illustrates the kind of thing I am talking about:
I want the graphical button to line up with the arrows which are a part of the popup window background image.
arrange buttons in an xml layout and set this view to your custom popup and you can set images to buttons from code.
