I am using following configuration to properly fit image inside a scrollview.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/textNimbo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="2492dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/inicio"
android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
</ScrollView>
However I need to set also a button inside scrollView and below the ImageView. I tried relative and linear layouts inside scrollView but no succes, button is not visible or image doesn't fit to scrollView. Any recommended configuration? Thank you.
A ScrollView can only have one direct child element. So to add a Button and an ImageView, you'll need something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android"layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/textNimbo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="2492dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/inicio"
android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
You could also use ImageButton I
instead of a ImageView with a transparent Button on it

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"
Background image doesn't fill Linearlayout and changes that size
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#mipmap/dashboard_background"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp">
desirable look is this
How can I reach that?
You should use a frame layout with an imageview and a linearlayout inside
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/FrameLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/background"/>
<LinearLayout
---Your Layout---
</LinearLayout>
Background always stretches to its View size. So you can't really control how it will look like. Instead, put an ImageView as a bottom most (meaning that it will lay under everything else) element in your layout, and use your background image as a source (src) for this ImageView, and so you will be able to control the look of the background with scaleType (probable you would want to use centerCrop or fitCenter). More about scaleType here.
In the end your layout should look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="#mipmap/dashboard_background" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- Put your view elements here -->
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.activity_haltestellen, R.id.tvHaltestellen, HaltestellenListe);
lvH.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
this is how the stuff is set and .xml:
<?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" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
</ListView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvHaltestellen"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
/>
I get the StringArray from a database.
so how can center the tv inside the listview? realy bad thing
Try to add this one: android:layout_centerInParent="true"
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvHaltestellen"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
I'm not quite sure what do you want to do, but if you want to center the TextView inside the RelativeLayout then remove
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
from TV and try adding something like android:layout_centarInParent="true", and in the relative layout change match_parent to wrap_contents
You could anchor the TextView to the top and bottom of the ListView (and optionally left and right too, depending on the desired effect). That will make the TextView equally tall (and optionally wide), so use a center gravity to position the text in the middle.
<?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" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvHaltestellen"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:gravity="center" />
</RelativeLayout>
If you're planning to add a background colour to the TextView, you'll need to wrap it inside another transparent container (e.g. a FrameLayout), to avoid the colour from obscuring what's displayed in the list. Something like:
<?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" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/lvHaltestellen"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/lvHaltestellen" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvHaltestellen"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/black" />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Alternatively, if you decide to make the ListView fill up the whole height of the RelativeLayout, you don't need to anchor the TextView to the list anymore. As already pointed out by #user1796624, you can then just center the TextView.
As per your earlier comment on someone else's answer:
the textview is shown inside the listview.
I understand what you're trying to say here, but please do realize that the TextView does not sit inside the ListView, but rather floats on top of it.
I am trying to show a list view with calendar view in a linear layout. when i am using vertical layout then list view appears but in horizontal layout the same listview disaappears. I solved the problem using relative layout, but can i do this using linear layout.here is my xml...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ScrollView01"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.exina.android.calendar.CalendarView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/calendar" android:layout_width="wrap_content">
</com.exina.android.calendar.CalendarView>
<ListView android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="#+id/android:list"
android:layout_weight="1" android:scrollingCache="false"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"
android:dividerHeight="4.0sp"></ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
You need to set the fillviewport flag in the scrollview :
android:fillViewPort="true"
Check this link to know what fillviewport flag does: ScrollView
I have some problem with multiple screen support, I work with dp(dpi) for specify the layout_heigth and layout_width and I hope that is the better way to support multiple screen, but when I tried with two smartphone I meet two different result.
I give an example, this is a layout I use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/cities_main_layout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/citieslist"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="320dip"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_below="#id/cities_main_layout"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/cities_button_layout"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/citieslist"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
<Button
android:id="#+id/bycountry"
android:layout_height="50dip"
android:layout_width="105dip"
android:background="#drawable/buttonmarket"
android:text="#string/button_bycountry"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/top10"
android:layout_height="50dip"
android:layout_width="105dip"
android:background="#drawable/buttonmarket"
android:text="#string/button_top10"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/recommended"
android:layout_height="50dip"
android:layout_width="105dip"
android:background="#drawable/buttonmarket"
android:text="#string/button_recommended"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
The button are at the bottom of the layout, and I see two different result:

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/6440/samsunggalaxys.png http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/6440/samsunggalaxys.png
In the last smartphone I can see the buttons, instead in the first I cannot...what's wrong?
I have to write a layout for any set of screen??!!!
Your ListView has
android:layout_height="320dip"
Now if the phone screen is smaller, it will not fit.
Try doing this instead: (Edited due to comments. This is displayed correcty in eclipse)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/relative"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:layout_above="#+id/linlay">
</ListView>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linlay"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="30dip"
android:background="#00FF00"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Thant should fix it I think.
Cheers
As others have indicated, your problem is that you hardwired in a size for the ListView. If you want a business rule of "have the buttons at the bottom and have the ListView fill up the rest", you actually need to write code that implements "have the buttons at the bottom and have the ListView fill up the rest".
There are two main approaches here:
Use a LinearLayout parent for the buttons and the ListView. Use
android:layout_height="0px" and android:layout_weight="1" for the
ListView. Use a regular android:layout_height for the buttons (presumably in their own LinearLayout) and no
android:layout_weight for for them
Use a RelativeLayout parent for the buttons and the ListView.
Define the buttons as having android:layout_alignParentBottom="true".
Define the ListView as having android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
and android:layout_above="...", where the ... is the ID of the buttons' LinearLayout.
I would say it's because you are specifically declaring a height for your ListView and then laying the LinearLayout that holds your buttons at the bottom. Try changing it instead of being at the bottom of the ListView to something like
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/cities_button_layout"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:alignparentbottom="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
I'm not entirely sure if align_parent_bottom is the 100% correct spelling of that.
Well, others have beaten me to it while I was typing, haha, but yeah, you're hardwiring a lot of things that shouldn't be, both the ListView and the Buttons. Take a look at this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/cities_main_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/cities_button_layout"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
>
<Button
android:id="#+id/bycountry"
android:layout_height="50dip"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/buttonmarket"
android:text="#string/button_bycountry"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/top10"
android:layout_height="50dip"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/buttonmarket"
android:text="#string/button_top10"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/recommended"
android:layout_height="50dip"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/buttonmarket"
android:text="#string/button_recommended"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/citieslist"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/cities_button_layout"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
You have android:orientation on your RelativeLayout, which isn't actually an attribute that RelativeLayout contains.
You should use the layout_weight attribute rather than hardwiring sizes for the Buttons. In my example, all buttons have a width of fill_parent, and a weight of 1. This makes them distribute the space evenly.
List the fixed button layout first, setting it to alignParentBottom="true". Then set the ListView to fill_parent, and layout_above your button layout. This keeps the button layout at the bottom, and makes the ListView take all the space above your buttons.
Tada!
