Android - LinearLayout Horizontal with wrapping children
(12 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have a horizontal linear layout that contains textviews generated dynamically, the problem I'm experiencing is that the textviews are squeezed (see image below) if too many of them are added. How would I go about wrapping the linearlayout so that the textviews are printed on the next line?
LinearLayout cant help with this. Instead you will have make your own Layout as mentioned in this http://nishantvnair.wordpress.com/2010/09/28/flowlayout-in-android/ or incorporate the same approach as of this Android - LinearLayout Horizontal with wrapping children
FlexboxLayout is a library project which brings the similar
capabilities of CSS Flexible Box Layout Module to Android.

This project is nice because you can just add the Gradle compile directive for the project, and be able to use the FlowLayout in the Xml from there. No need to copy in Java files

I have added in a Relative Layout some ImageViews with some Buttons and gave them some width and high values.I have tested the application on a nexus 7 and everything looks great but when I tested on other devices some functions like a popUpWindow or even some Views look wrong.Is there a way how to resise a layout with all his views dynamically to fit every device I test on ?
The values you're using are probably not what you're looking for. Instead, you may mean to use wrap_content or match_parent.
Please have a look at this tutorial on layouts and absorb and practice some of that before immediately asking for help. You got this!
For my app, I'm trying to have a section listing the tags in an article but I wasn't able to find an Android Layout that can achieve this.
Basically, I have an array of strings which contains anywhere from 1 to 5 elements. I want to be able to list them in an manner in which they're sort of staggered. Similar to what a Horizontal LinearLayout would do except it goes to the next line if the next view is too large. I'd have to do this programatically and without a ListView/GridView since it's inside a ScrollView.
Is there any way to achieve this?

Okay, So I just started Android development (I am average at VB.Net, so I understand basic code even if its not in VB). I've made a couple play around apps which used Text-To-Speech, Async Tasks and Reading/Writing files. However, I now wish to make a tabbed Android app.
I started the project in Eclipse Juno and filled in all the details. I then selected (For navigation) the Tabs/Swipe layout. I now have the default code for that layout type (Link to Tabs on developer.android.com - http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/tabs.html).
I understand mostly what the default code is doing. The only problem I am having, is determining the individual layout of my Tabs. I wish to have 2 Tabs, 1 in which the user selects an option, and the other, in which an image is shown depending on the selection in Tab 1.
So the question is: How do I create a .xml file in Layout to determine what is shown on the Fragment?
If you want to do this in XML the answer is simple, it can't be done just with XML, you must create a class that's implementing a ActionBar.TabListener.
Than you can override the onTabSelected method in which you can exchange the content.
A proper solution would be:
Use a LinearLayout as root container, and implement two Fragments for each of your Tabs (there you can design an individual XML-layout). Now you can add one fragment initially to the root-container and implement the exchange of the layouts inside the onTabSelected method and you are done.
i'm making an app that requires indefinite textviews and images. i'm trying to implement a Pulse News app UI but having a hard time implementing one. so i thought of an idea to make a UI like that with the use of textviews, imageview and horizontal scroll view.
textview string values are from parsed xml online and images or the imageviews will be images from a specific directory in the sdcard that my app is using.
can anyone give me ideas how can i do it without using an xml layout or is there any or other options or ways for doing this? thanks...
You can create a viewgroup with one textview and an image. Then it can be added dynamically to your layout many times. This can be done by creating objects in a loop. You can change the content in each viewgroup at the time of inflation.
though i dont know what exactly how pulse new app looks like, but by going through your question (horizontal scroll view in particular) I guess you want to implement a "Gallery" type implementation where in you can swipe left/right on page basis.
If my assumption is correct then you will like to see to ViewPager of android backward compatiblity pkg.
hi i am a new app developer. i am trying out a new app working by flip.

At first look it must shows the question and when flipped it must show the answer. this must be done for arount 40 questions.
pls help me by giving any example codes or idea....
You can use FrameLayout. In the framelayout you have to keep 2 layouts. In the first layout you have to keep the question and in the second layout you have to keep the view for showing the answer.
Here Android 3d Flip Animation is a nice example for the flip animation using FrameLayout. The example is shown with 2 images. You have to just use your layout instead of images.
