How can I make my android dialog fullscreen? - java

I already tried all things I could find (on stackoverflow and the net) but I somehow cannot set my dialog to fullscreen. It has a scrollview with a textview in it, and when there is not much text in the textview the scrollview is not fullscreen. How can I force it to be fullscreen even when there is not much text visible ?
I create the dialog like this:
final TextView box;
final Dialog info = new Dialog(cx);
final ScrollView scroll;
info.setContentView(R.layout.dialoginfo);
info.setTitle("Info");
info.setCancelable(true);
info.getWindow().setFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
scroll = ((ScrollView) info.findViewById(R.id.scrollviewinfo));
scroll.setPersistentDrawingCache(ScrollView.PERSISTENT_NO_CACHE);
scroll.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
box = (TextView) info.findViewById(R.id.infotext);
box.setText(text);
info.show();
This is the xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/infolayout"
>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/ImageView01"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:id="#+id/scrollviewinfo">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/infolayout2">
<TextView android:layout_margin="5dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/infotext"
android:textSize="8sp"
android:text=""/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

It looks like your ScrollView has its height set to wrap_content, I'd first try replacing it with fill_parent.
Here are some other resources that may help you:
How can I get a Dialog style activity window to fill the screen?
I've never used the setFlags() method, so this may give you the same results. Basically try replacing
info.getWindow().setFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
with
info.getWindow().setLayout(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
Alternatively, if you wanted more exact control over the height, you can create an instance of layout params, as the first answer here describes:
How to make an alert dialog fill 90% of screen size?
You can also use this code to get the screen size, if you wanted to modify it to be slightly smaller than full screen.
Display display = ((WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
int width = display.getWidth();
int height = display.getHeight();
There are quite a few other ways to get the current screen size, too, this is just one example. Good luck!

Have you tried setting layout_height of the ScrollView to "match_parent" (and you can set the LinearLayout to "match_parent" too, though I don't think it's necessary)?. I'm guessing it shrinks when there isn't much text because it's set to "wrap_content". Try this:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/ImageView01"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:id="#+id/scrollviewinfo">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/infolayout2">
...
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

Try wrapping your dialog custom layout into RelativeLayout instead of Linear Layout. That worked for me.

TextView: Fade out + Read More - Expand on click

I'd like to fade out long Texts after a fixed number of lines in my app like they did it here in this css tutorial:
https://css-tricks.com/text-fade-read-more/
But I have no clue what to google or how I can implement a behaviour likes this. Can anybode help me with some input?
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/event_text_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="28dp"
android:maxLines="15"
/>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/overlay_textview" />
</FrameLayout>
Set TextView's maxLines property (or just set the height to some concrete value), put a view with gradient above it and a button. Handle button and gradient visibility form your code.
button.setOnClickListener {
button.visibility = View.GONE
gradientView.visibility = View.GONE
textView.layoutParams.height = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
textView.requestLayout()
}

TextView inside TextSwitcher gravity bottom wont work

I have a standard TextView and TextSwitcher:
The TextView:
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:textColor="#3F51B5"
android:textSize="40sp"
android:gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"
android:paddingLeft="4dp"
android:paddingRight="4dp"
android:background="#android:color/black">
The TextSwitcher:
<TextSwitcher
android:id="#+id/questionTextSwitcher"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/white"/>
The text of the TextView changes dynamically, and sometimes the text is a couple lines.
The black background is the TextView, and the white is the TextSwitcher:
When there is a longer text set it looks like this:
When there is a smaller text it looks like this:
I want the TextView to be placed at the bottom of the TextSwitcher - but that isn't happening?
try to match the parent height and also use the layout_gravity attribute.

Picasso centerCrop and fit get different results

I want to insert an image to an ImageView, which gets used as a background. This background is in a RecyclerView. When it gets loaded the first time, it looks like this:
But when I scroll to another item and scroll back, it looks like this (it should always look like this):
Here i add the image:
public void onBindViewHolder(StoryViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.cardView.setMinimumHeight(height/3);
holder.layout.setMinimumHeight((int) ((float) width / 4));
//set image
Picasso.with(activity).load(MainPostAdapter.URL + 140 + ".png").
transform(new BlurTransform(holder.background.getContext())).fit().centerCrop().into(holder.background);
holder.background.setAlpha(0.25f);
}
And this is the image itself:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/story_view_background"/>
What could the problem be?
EDIT:
whole XML (It doesn't show all of the code. Here is also pastebin:http://pastebin.com/8rJvSx7V):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/story_view_background"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/story_view_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingTop="50px">

android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView

android:textSize="13sp"
android:layout_below="#+id/story_view_image"
android:paddingBottom="8dp"
android:paddingTop="8dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</FrameLayout>
try to set android:layout_height="150dp" for your CardView (don't use px!). Its child FrameLayout is unnecesarry (CardView is extending FrameLayout and have set same attributes set), remove it.
It's not so well written, all your Views have match_parent set for height, besides Image and Text views... Your item is probably trying to fit RecyclerView height in this case ("whole screen") and is measured without image at first time (Picasso async downloading, setting image when view is already measured). But when you inflate your View again (scroll and recycle) new list item will be measured differently, because Picasso will insert your image "in runtime", no need to async fetching (cache)

Creating login layout like in facebook app for android

I want to make an app with a login activity/layout similar to what Facebook app has. What I mean is when text field is focused soft keyboard pushes the entire view up but not squashing a logo. I have tried android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan/adjustResize" but it is not what I was trying to achieve.
I found this question on SO perhaps it will make things clearer, but it has no solution to the problem.
I have also tried various layouts types but it soft keyboard only pushes the focused < EditText > up. Please guide me.
UPDATE:

UPDATE working solution
I can't paste here the entire xml file, but the structure should be enough.
Based on Gabe Sechan's answer.
Layout{
Layout top weight 1
Layout mid weight 1
Layout bot weight 1
}
Child layouts have set to:
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" // should be changed accordingly to your layout design.
And here is a Java code for the activity(keyboard up/down):
View top, mid, bot;
final View activityRootView = findViewById(R.id.loginLayout);
activityRootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(
new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
int heightDiff = activityRootView.getRootView()
.getHeight() - activityRootView.getHeight();
if (heightDiff > 100) { //keyboard up
mid.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
top.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 0, 0f));
bot.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 0, 1f));
} else {// keyboard down
// v.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mid.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
top.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 0, 2f));
bot.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 0, 3f));
}
}
});
On keyboard up you need to change weights accourding to keyboard up design and on keyboard down change back to the default(layout that you've set via xml/java). I've tested the code on 2.3.x and up.
And don't forget to use android:inputType="textFilter" for the login&password EditText's to remove suggestions on input and save some pixels. In your manifest for the activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden". stateHidden is used so that keyboard won't be up when activity loads. Hope it helps. Good luck.
They're doing it with relative layouts, adjustResize, and android:layout_centerVertical. Basically, they have a linear layout for their main layout, with 3 equally weighted relative layouts inside of it. Each is set to 0dp height, so they take up equal thirds of the screen. The top RelativeLayout holds the logo, centered vertically. The middle holds the login fields and button, centered vertically one on top of the other. The bottom one holds the copyright text, aligned to bottom. The end result is that when the keyboard comes up, the 3 relative layouts get resized to take 1/3 of the new screen. Then their elements are centered in the new screen.
Remember you need the adjustResize window mode to get this, if you use pan it will just move up and the logo will scroll off center.
In Eclipse, go to File|New|Other and in the Wizard that follows, select Android Activity, then on the next page, select LoginActivity from the list of activities. This has the exact layout you're talking about, and you can use that as a framework. It uses a ScrollView to achieve the effect you're looking for.

how to set textview in bottom

my textview display in emulator top..how to change into the bottom...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/tv">
<TextView
android:text="EmbDes Technologies"
android:id="#+id/TextView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#ff000000"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="bottom"/>
<Gallery xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/videoGrdVw"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Although your question seems to be obscure, what i understand is that you want to align it to the bottom. Here is how you can do it:
Add the following property to your textview:
android:gravity="bottom"
Hope this helps. If it does, mark it as answered and do vote for it.
Regards.
well,
Button,TextView are all widget and subclasses from view
you can use textview as button easily ..
i.e. click responding:
TextView tt=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tt1);
tt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//here I change background color when press on textviw element
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
}
});
I hope this helps you,
if not ask exactly what are you going to do..
good luck
Mohammed,
using the relative layout, align one view to the top with a bottom margin equal to the height of the bottom view and align the bottom view to the bottom of the relative layout...
