i would try to change the system recent app layout in a custom rom. Actually, in android stock, we have a simple vertical scrollable column with recent apps.. I would change it and make a gridview like LG --> http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/article_images/2014/07/task-switchers.jpg?itok=DQwWAMpQ it's not so easy and i need help.. i have some question;
1) Change the xml only is enought?
2) Have i to change the adapter too in java or something else in java code?
The xml is this one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.recent.RecentsPanelView
android:id="#id/recents_root"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:foreground="#drawable/bg_protect"
systemui:recentItemLayout="#layout/status_bar_recent_item"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
<FrameLayout android:id="#id/recents_bg_protect"
android:background="#drawable/status_bar_recents_background"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
<com.android.systemui.recent.RecentsVerticalScrollView
android:layout_gravity="top|left|center"
android:id="#id/recents_container"
android:scrollbars="none"
android:fadingEdge="vertical"
android:fadingEdgeLength="#dimen/status_bar_recents_scroll_fading_edge_length"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stackFromBottom="true"
android:divider="#null"
android:layout_marginEnd="0.0dip">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#id/recents_linear_layout"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.android.systemui.recent.RecentsVerticalScrollView>
<ImageView
android:layout_gravity="bottom|left|center"
android:id="#id/recents_clear"
android:clickable="true"
android:layout_width="50.0dip"
android:layout_height="50.0dip"
android:src="#drawable/ic_notify_clear"
android:scaleType="center" />
</FrameLayout>
<include android:id="#id/recents_no_apps" android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" layout="#layout/status_bar_no_recent_apps" />
</com.android.systemui.recent.RecentsPanelView>
The class RecentsPanelView extends a FrameLayout.. i tried simple change and extends a gridview but without any changes.. i think it was too much easy just change this point.. However, actually with this xml i can display in horizontal the recent apps but only in one row.. Any idea? Maybe adding a gridview in this layout?

I'm currently using a Card View inside a recycler and the text is left-alligned despite my efforts.
Here is the Book Item Layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
app:cardElevation="5dp"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#color/white">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bookTitleTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
Here is the recycler itself.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/bookRecycler" />
This is the current output.
enter image description here
As you can see the text is not centered.
I tried using layout gravity to center the text which didn't work.
I also tried using a constraint layout on the text view and using constraints to center the text without any luck.
android:layout_gravity = "center" has already been attempted.
Any advice on what I'm overlooking would be great.
Thank you.
add android:gravity="center" for LinearLayout and you are good to go
I see your LinearLayout have only one child and no special attributes, so you can even remove whole LinearLayout - place TextView straight inside CardView, which extends FrameLayout. For centering childs inside FrameLayout you may also use android:gravity="center" for parent and/or android:layout_gravity="center" for child
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
app:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
app:cardElevation="5dp"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#color/white">
<TextView
android:layout_gravity="center"
... rest of code
android:gravity="center" is the correct code, instead of android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
As you can see on the upper image, there are align options "to RightOf=button", "below=button" when you drag something, but when I drag something nothing like that is shown. Can anyone help me fix that?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/activity_main">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_witaj_uzytkowniku"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/witaj_uzytkowniku" />
</RelativeLayout>
Honestly, I prefer to use ConstraintLayout as the root. I believe it is much easier to use with the drag and drop tool.
When using it make sure that all objects are connected to each other(or the parent) at least once vertically and once horizontally.
How this looks in the code:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
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_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView9"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:text="TextView"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView10"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:text="TextView"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#+id/textView9"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/textView9" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
You can also adjust the distances using the side panel.
To use the layout you just need to type Constraint layout in the Pallete and drag it (if it is not installed, there will be a download)
Set position of your textview then try to add another view by dragging
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/activity_main">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_witaj_uzytkowniku"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop ="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="#string/witaj_uzytkowniku" />
</RelativeLayout>
I think instead of Relativelayout, you should use the CoordinatorLayout.
And if you continue with Relativelayout then go to file invalidate and restart your Android studio if this is cache related issue then resolved it.
Use Coordinator Layout to work. RelativeLayout is more of coding layout..
I'm trying to set a analog clock for my app but both the analog clock and the digital clock just dont appear when i run the app on my device, but if i look at the graphic view of the layout its there!

My guess is that your layout is not scaling well to varied resolutions. Click the Preview All Screens option (in in the Graphical Layout section of Eclipse) to see if you can see the same cropping problem there. If so, you'll need to experiment with different layout weights, etc. to ensure that the layout works well across different device resolutions.
I guess problem can be about ScrollView. Try to change it and let me know result. Because I don't know for which reason its happening but sometimes with ScrollView view is getting hidden...
on my Android project I need to change the color of a xml property: app:footerColor="#1573D6" dynamically during runtime. How can I achieve this?
I could change the layout too during the running of the App, but I looked for how to do it and couldn't find anything.
Some help would be great. Thank you very much.
Here's my xml:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<com.viewpagerindicator.TitlePageIndicator
android:id="#+id/tabloid"
android:padding="10dip"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:background="#000000"
android:textColor="#1573D6"
app:footerColor="#1573D6"
app:footerLineHeight="2dp"
app:footerIndicatorStyle="none"
app:selectedColor="#FFFFFF"
app:selectedBold="true" />
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
you can do this in code:
TitlePageIndicator indicator =(TitlePageIndicator)findViewById(R.id.yourview)
indicator.SetFooterColor(Color.parse( #1573D6))
I'm developing an android app for 2.2 ver.
My app must hav such structure:
[ Spinner here (fixed height) ]
[ ListView (not-fixed height) ]
[ ImageView (fixed-height) ]
I have to use only portrait orientation.
I use linearLayout for it. How can I calculate listView height to show spinner on the top of the screen, imageview on the bottom, and listview cover all free space, but not push others away from field of view.
It will be cool to make it dinamic for lots of screen resolutions.
Thank you
Use a relative layout to accomplish what you need.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:src="#drawable/icon" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_above="#+id/imageView1" />
</RelativeLayout>
By doing this listview will adjust its size so that it fits between the spinner and imageview on your screen
You need to use the android:layout_weight attribute on the variable-height item, so it fills the available space.
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<Spinner
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Here is another way to do this, using weights. This may be the easiest approach.
You can put in to the weight a percentage of the screen you would like it to take up.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Spinner
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="10"/>
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="80"></ListView>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="10"/>
</LinearLayout>
EDIT:
Now that i think about it, this will "fix" the size of all the widgets. They will be "fixed" at percentages of the screen. This will scale well with other screen sizes, but you did say you wanted ListView to not be fixed.
