I am trying to display two texts in a layout such that they are displayed one after the other but the following code is pasting the strings right above each other. What should I do. I tried to exchange fill_parent & wrap_content between the two textviews but it is worthless
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="false"
android:layout_centerVertical="false"
android:text="#string/hello_world"
tools:context=".StartingPoint" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="false"
android:layout_centerVertical="false"
android:text="#string/testing"
tools:context=".StartingPoint" />
You have to put the property below in the second TextView and set on the below property the id of the first TextView
change your two TextView by this two:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TextView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="false"
android:layout_centerVertical="false"
android:text="#string/hello_world"
tools:context=".StartingPoint" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/TextView1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="false"
android:layout_centerVertical="false"
android:text="#string/testing"
tools:context=".StartingPoint" />
But you need to read the documentation at android developers first, because that is very basic.
Hope to help :)
Use LinearLayout as the parent layout and set its orientation to horizontal. This will work.
You have to tell the RelativeLayout how it has to place the different views.
Documentation: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/relative.html
It could be simpler to use a LinearLayout.
If you need RelativeLayout menas,
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="FirstText"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:text="secondText"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</RelativeLayout>
Else you need LinearLayout means,
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="FirstText"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:text="secondText"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</LinearLayout>
In the Case of Relative layout you need the textview is one by one means use this parameter, android:layout_below="#+id/textView1" else you are using LinearLayout means use this parameter android:orientation="vertical"

I want to design an android activity with a relative layout. There should be 3 (or later 4) elements in a vertical line among each other. I've tried it, but the textview is hidden behind the listview.
What's wrong with the code, how should I change it and how should it look, if I want to insert a fourth element between the text and listview or the listview and button ... like a image.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:layout_above="#+id/listview"
android:text="#string/info" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:onClick="start"
android:src="#drawable/button1" />
</RelativeLayout>
Try changing ReltiveLayout to LinearLayoutor put LinearLayout outside your RelativeLayout, whith orientation="vertical" an put the TextView outside RelativeLayout. Something like this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/info" />
<RelativeLayout
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:onClick="start"
android:src="#drawable/button1" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I'm attempting to split the UI for my horizontal layout into two halves each with it's own realative layout so I am able to center text and graphics within the two left and right halves of the screen. The problem is when I attmept to do so - the go button still ends up in the middle of the screen instead of centered on the right hand of the screen.
(If I can figure out how to center correctly I'm sure I'll be able to apply the same technique to the other elements to achieve the result I desire.

Instead of Relative layout, I would recommend using LinearLayout.
<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"
android:orientation="horizontal"

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#00dd00"
android:gravity="center"
>
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#dd0000"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
>
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
In the inner LinearLayout you can either use android:gravity="center" to have its children centered vertically and horizontally. Or use use android:gravity="center_horizontal" to center in only horizontal way.
EDIT: Added the textview, which was discussed in the comments.
To have the textView appear underneath the button, you must change the orientation of the LinearLayout from horizontal to vertical. Please see the developer site .
The inner LinearLayout thus looks like this.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#dd0000"
android:gravity="center"
>
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="text here"
/>
</LinearLayout>
How can I use android:layout_below="#+id/go_button" in a linear layout?
You can't. These relationships only work in relative layout where you place views in relation to each other or the parent view. In linear layout items are stacked either vertically or horizontally.
Set android:gravity="center" in
<Button
android:id="#+id/go_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/apn_app_go_button" />
Maybe its work.
I want to display on the top of activity which consist of scrollable tableview. The content and number of rows are dynamic in tableview.
when I try to run the below code, It shows me table until when the ad is loaded, but when the ad is loaded the tableview disappears. I dont understand why this is happening.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:padding="5dip"
android:text="Code" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/middle_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:padding="5dip"
android:text="Name of Company" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/right_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:padding="5dip"
android:text="1.3" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
The default orientation of LinearLayout is horizontal. When ads is loaded, all contents shifts to the right. You should set orientation of the LinearLayout to vertical. Add this to your LinearLayout:
android:orientation="vertical"
Yout tablelayout width is fillparent. Change it to wrap content.
How can i place two buttons side by side with an image at the bottom of the button?
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/a_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:text="Button-a" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/b_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:text="Button-b" />
</LinearLayout>
Instead of using button u can use linear-layout(Clickable) and use its id instead of Button id.something like this...... Using this you can customize your Button as per your requirements.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
//Button-A
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/a_button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.50"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:clickable="true">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:text="Text-A"
android:paddingTop="10dip"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/image_A"
android:paddingTop="13dip" />
</LinearLayout>
//For Horizontal partition line
<TextView
android:layout_width="2dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#303030"
android:paddingTop="20dip" />
//Button-B
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/b_button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.50"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:clickable="true">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text-B"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:paddingTop="10dip" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/image_B"
android:paddingTop="13dip"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
You can place images at the bottom of buttons with the Drawable_Bottom property.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="#android:attr/buttonBarStyle"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/a_button"
style="#android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableBottom="#android:drawable/btn_star"
android:text="Button-a" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/b_button"
style="#android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableBottom="#android:drawable/btn_star"
android:text="Button-b" />
</LinearLayout>
Just add below line to both your buttons and specify the drawable you want to use.
android:drawableBottom="#drawable/image"
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Above method works if you want to use your drawables as it is i.e. without modifying its dimensions. If you wish you modify you drawable dimentions as well then you can do that through simple Java code written below:
((Button)findViewById(R.id.button)).setCompoundDrawables(null, null, null, getDrawable(getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.image, 25));
.....
.....
Drawable getDrawable(Context context, int drawable, float form_factor) {
Drawable imgDrawable = context.getResources().getDrawable(drawable);
imgDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, (int)form_factor, (int)form_factor);
return imgDrawable;
}
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>
