I have a custom cell for my listview which has TEXT NUMBER - which works fine, however when the TEXT goes over one line, the right hand number goes over more than one line too which looks silly. Is there a property to fix this from happening?
My XML is:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtOption"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="7"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtCount"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingLeft="25dp"
android:paddingRight="15dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:text="[21]"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>
Seems like your layout_weight for views is not kicking-in. For that, I think you are missing to define android:weightSum="10" within your LinearLayout definition. Moreover, you need to set android:layout_width="0dp" to both of your TextView.

When I have the following TextView, within a linear layout:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/lbl_date"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:ems="5"
android:text="what is up"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#062AEE"
android:textStyle="bold" />
It displays like so, which is what I want:
However, when I add some more text, such that the text should wrap, the text wraps, but an mysterious top margin is added:
Anyone know why this is? I've tried setting a number of attributes to get rid of it, such as, android:padding, android:layout_marginVertical, android:paddingVertical, android:layout_margin, android:layout_marginBottom, android:lineSpacingExtra, android:includeFontPadding="false". Any ideas how to get rid of that annoying space?
Thanks.
Here's some more of the XML:

Hoping this is a simple one
I want two textviews on the same line aligned to the left.
Currently my layout is as shown:
I want this layout(note i modified the diagram on paint):
here is the xml i currently have:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtSetItem"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Large Text"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:clickable="false"
android:focusable="false"/>
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/checkBox1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:focusable="false" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtSetAmount"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:clickable="false"
android:focusable="false" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtSetPrice"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:clickable="false"
android:focusable="false"/>
hmm your layout shouldn't compile-- there is no attribute android:layout_width on the TextView objects.
To fix this, remove layout_weight and set layout_width to wrap_content
Anyways, here:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="This"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="this"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Change your first TextView's weight to 0 (or to something smaller than 1). You're giving them equal weight and LinearLayout places them in a way that gives them equal width, which isn't what you want.
Don't use weight.
Use wrap_content on the layout_width.
This will get you what you are looking for:
<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"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="This" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="This"
android:paddingLeft="10dp" />
</LinearLayout>
one way to go about this would be to use relative layout .
You can change how "close" or "far" apart the two textviews will be using changing the android:layout_marginLeft property on textView2.
The following property:
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/textView1"
makes sure that tv2 is aligned with tv1.
<?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" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="26dp"
android:text="TextView" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_marginLeft="32dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/textView1"
android:text="TextView" />
</RelativeLayout>
Do android:layout_...s work with ImageViews? From the picture you can see that all 10 rows are on top of each other so that means that q2Image is not accepting the code android:layout_below="#/q1Image" for it to drop down a line and star the next row.
Am I just missing something or am I trying to do something that is impossible?
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="65"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/q1Image"
android:layout_width="10dp"
android:layout_height="10dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/q1Question"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/q1Image" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/q1Answer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/q1Question" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/q1Verse"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/q1Answer" />
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#C2BEBF" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/q2Image"
android:layout_width="10dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:layout_below="#id/q1Image" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/q2Question"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/q2Image" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/q2Answer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/q2Question" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/q2Verse"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/q2Answer" />
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#C2BEBF" />
//Above code is first 2 rows. There are 10 rows total but I removed the code for rows 3-10 for this post.
Try to put + between # and id and everything must be ok
#+id
<LinearLayout

Referencing Id's like that not always working. Replace "#id" with "#+id" everywhere.
Example:
android:layout_below="#+id/q1Image"
The way you are accessing the ids in the code is correct. "#+id" is used to declare the id. All references to it following the declaration should be "#id". Are you having the same problems with the TextViews also? I think you should set the layout_below property for the TextViews as well. Because I can see text is also overlapped in your UI. eg.,
<TextView
android:id="#+id/q2Question"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below = "#id/q1Question"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/q2Image" />
RelativeLayout will not place a view below another unless you specify layout_below for it. Hence your TextViews appear overlapped.
In this case, my xml file shows a certain layout while at runtime another one is generated. I am incredibly confused as to why the layout shown at runtime is completely different from the one given. here is the code for the xml file
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/username"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/signUp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Sign up!" />
</LinearLayout>
This displays Insert name here on both a label and button. The button is correctly bound and pressing it does do something, however I cannot type in the textfield at runtime.
This one looks fine. Double check if you are changing any property with your java code.
Try to use this one instead. I have removed the useless LinearLayout and try to make the EditText clickable.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/username"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:ems="10" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/signUp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Sign up!" />
</LinearLayout>
I have two textviews. I want one of them to be left aligned and the other to be right aligned. Pretty much so that it looks like a 2 column table.
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/profileLayout" android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:id="#+id/experience" android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/experienceLabel" android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_weight="0" android:text="Experience"></TextView>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/linearLayout4" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="1"></LinearLayout>
<TextView android:text="TextView" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/experienceTextView" android:layout_gravity="right" android:layout_weight="0" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0" android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
Set the weight of the first one to 1 so it will eat up all of the extra space. Set the 2nd oen to wrap content, so it only takes up as much space as it needs.
But why do you have an extra LinearLayout around them? If you have nested LinearLayouts, you should probably be using a RelativeLayout instead.
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/experienceLabel" android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Experience"></TextView>
<TextView android:text="TextView" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/experienceTextView" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></TextView>
</LinearLayout>
Use Relative Layout. About Relative Layout Link Example link
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/experienceLabel"
android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_weight="0" android:text="Experience"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/>
<TextView android:text="TextView" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/experienceTextView" android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_weight="0" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
Benefit of using RelativeLayout: it reduces your number of layout. Which will optimize your ui too.
I'm not entirely sure of the exactly layout you want, but you can try this:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/profileLayout"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:weightSum="2"
android:id="#+id/experience"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/experienceLabel"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Experience"/>
<TextView
android:text="TextView"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/experienceTextView"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
You were using layout_gravity rather than gravity also. layout_gravity tells the parent how you want to be laid out, gravity tells content how to be laid out.
Notice how I have a weightSum in the parent layout to 2 and then set the two children to a weight of 1 each. I also set the parent to fill_parent
You had and extra layout in there too - if you want spacing, set a margin on the second textview or use a view (a simpler object than a LinearLayout)
