To StackOverFlow,
I am currently developing an Android App, and am facing a issue. The issue is that when I place two view items under a parent (LinearLayout) it will not center one view to use the entire width of the parent. The reason for this (I beleive) is because when the second view uses parent_fill it already takes the width of the previous view into account. So it centers the "empty space". The code for the layout is below.

As you can tell it is a simple layout. The problem is shown below.

The problem is that the Title Bar ("Mah App") is not centering on the entire Linear Layout Bar.
So my Question is how do I make the Title Bar center across the entire Linear Layout even though there are other views are on there as well?
Thanks,
Thomas.
Layout Weight is the concept you are missing here. Look at this:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/linear.html#Weight
In your case, you need to define android:layout_weight=1 for the view you want to center. This will make that view more important than the rest on the parent.
But really the best way to center views is to use a RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout. Aligning possibilities are much better

How can I make a working bottom navigation bar with ImageViews in a LinearLayout(Horizontal) With fragments ? instead of menu items.
if already exist then please share the source code. Please help quickly :)
Or the Question could be this :
https://github.com/qhutch/BottomSheetLayout/issues/12#issue-576279364
Oh, I found my solution not exactly but this is what I want...
I add that Bottom Navigation View in a LinearLayout(horizontal) and I delete all default Styles from BottomNavigationView. So now this is not looking like a card view. After this, I add an ImageView in the LinearLayout with a weight of a ratio of 1:3 (for 4 icons ). Now I can use effects and designs on my LinearLayout. And it is looking like how I wish. 😌
[Note: For horizontally rotated screen LinearLayout, ImageView, BottomNavigationView 's width:match-parent]
I have a ScrollView in which I have inserted a ConstraintLayout that contains a fullscreen ImageView and some other components below it.
What I want is for the image to shrink in height (to a certain limit) whenever I scroll down.
Here's an example of what I'm seeking: https://imgur.com/rlOr0HA
As for resizing, after some research I figured I'd have to create a LayoutParams object and then affect it to the ImageView. No problem there.
But as for detecting the scroll event, I've had some trouble. I tried the setOnScrollChangeListener on my ScrollView, but the problem is that it requires an API level of at least 23. So I wonder if there is another solution that works for lower levels as well.
Another problem I'm having is how to make the resizing proportionate to how much the user has scrolled.
You are looking to do the coordinator layout with a collapsing toolbar. This is built into android and you do not need any code changes. The inflater will inflate the layout and everything will work.
In your xml layout file you will need
<coordinatorlayout
<Appbar layout
<collapsingtoolbar
<ImageView> <-- your image goes here
/collapsingtoolbar
/Appbar layout
/coordinatorlayout
<nestedscrollview
<textview> <--Your content that moves up goes here
/nestedscrollview
<floating action button> <-- your example shows one of these buttons but its optional
So I have a Scroll View which contains a relative layout. I want that relative layout to have 3 or more layouts that can be scrolled. I know how to implement that with HorizontalScrollView, but before execution, I have no idea how many elements the HorizontalScrollView is going to have. Should I use ViewPager for this? What I would like the most is a HorizontalListView.
Would you recommend something like this:
https://github.com/sephiroth74/HorizontalVariableListView
Or should I add views programmatically in a HorizontalScrollView?
ScrollView is widget that should be used to keep static layouts inside. In general - ones that just are ~slightly bigger that the screen.
If you need something really dynamic you should use elements based on adapters like ListView, or ViewPager.
i have a problem in designing user interface and layouts. i want that some views relates to others. for example a button related to a TextView and when i sat margin top, it calculates from that TextView not screen top. how i can do this?
Have a look at Relative Layouts. They are the answer to your question. You can relate a view to another by setting it toLeftOf, below, alignParentTop or any other combination.
Use a RelativeLayout and Views will be positioned relative to other Views.
From what you have written it seems like you could group the TextView and Button into a container view, like a RelativeLayout, and fit them inside there with the appearance you would like. Then you can set the margin of the Relative layout.
Edit: Clarity
I am creating an android game, I tried using the canvas.drawText() method to display my score and level but it caused errors. Now I am trying to use TextViews to display them, I am using a SurfaceVeiw and I wanted to know is it possible and would it be a good way of doing it.
You can't really put TextViews into a SurfaceView. What you can do instead, though, is add TextViews on top of the SurfaceView. Let me know if you need help on doing that if you don't know how.
// You can use a FrameLayout to hold the surface view
FrameLayout frameLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
frameLayout.addView(surfaceView);
// Then create a layout to hold everything, for example a RelativeLayout
RelativeLayout relativeLayout= new RelativeLayout(this);
relativeLayout.addView(frameLayout);
relativeLayout.addView(textview1);
relativeLayout.addView(textview2);
setContentView(relativeLayout);
When adding your views, it may be helpful to using LayoutParams to help organize things. Use this documentation for LayoutParams. Hope this helps!
If you're using an XML layout, I would use a RelativeLayout, as mentioned above, contain the SurfaceView inside a FrameLayout. Placing the TextView's on top of the FrameLayout is just a simple matter of configuring the RelativeLayout parameters for each view. You seem new to Android, perhaps this guide will help you with RelativeLayouts and XML layouts in general.
