G;day mate,
FrameLayouts are usually only used forshowing one item at a time. You
can layout multiple views, but they will all be laid on top of each
other. There is a use for this, but I suspect not for your description
of the problem.
I would use a RelativeLayout - they make my life so much easier. With
a relative layout you can specify that:
- the RelativeLayout is to take up the entire screen
(layout_height="fill_parent", etc)
- the header is to stay at the top (alignParentTop=true)
- the footer / navigation bar is to stay at the bottom (alignParentBottom=true)
- the listview is to take up all the rest of the space
(layout_below="@+id/header" , layout_above="@+id/footer",
layout_height="fill_parent")
I noticed you used "alignParentBottom" in your last layout - maybe you
intended to use a RelativeLayout instead.
Also, if you plan to make more than one screen with this pattern, I
would put the title bar and the navigation into separate layouts and
then include them in the main layout.
For example:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/header" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:orientation="horizontal" style="@android:style/ButtonBar">
<ImageView android:src="@drawable/person"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView android:text="@string/personstring"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</LinearLayout>
<ListView android:visibility="visible" android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="@+id/header" android:layout_above="@+id/footer" />
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal
style="@android:style/ButtonBar">
<ImageButton android:id="@+id/loacreation.previousButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" android:src="@drawable/buttonarrowleft" />
<ImageButton android:id="@+id/loacreation.nextButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:src="@drawable/buttonarrowright" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
