I'm using RelativeLayout to create rows of controls and would like to
achieve the following:
Widget 1 - natural height
Custom view - remaining space after Widgets 1 and 3
Widget 3 - natural height
If I add the view in the correct order and use FILL_PARENT, it uses the
remaining space at that point - i.e., all following controls aren't visible
as there's no more room.
If I add the view at the end, using the BELOW rule to position below Widget
1, it does that - but overlaps all following controls (e.g. Widget 3, since
that was set to be below Widget 1 as well).
I tried adding a second rule to say ABOVE Widget 3, but then it didn't seem
to place the view at all (or made it zero height?).
I can't seem to measure the controls even after calling setContentView(my
relative layout), they always return zero - so I can't even calculate the
remaining space manually and use that.
Is there another way to achieve this, or is there a way to measure the
desired height of a control? I tried calling measure(some width,
MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED) (after setContentView() ) but that also returned
zero - very helpful.
If there were a way to get notified when the layout takes place (so I can
call the superclass to actually lay out, then measure / calculate heights
and re-layout with a fixed height for the view) then that would help, but I
can't find anything like that either. I would rather not use a fixed height
and a scrolling view, as scrolling makes an app less pleasant to use
(unless it's meant to be a list of things!).
If possible, I would like the solution to be compatible with 2.1 (API 7).
Thanks in advance.
