Hi all, I'm new to android and xml ui layouts, so please bare with me. What I'm trying to do is a relative layout with an imageview above and a nested tablelayout below with 4 rows containing 4 buttons in each row. Like this: ______________ | | | | | Image | | | |_____________| |___|___|___|___| |___|___|___|___| |___|___|___|___| |___|___|___|___|
Where the buttons only display 1 character each. The problem I'm having is that the buttons come out tiny no matter what setting I use for width and height (i.e. fill_parent or wrap_content). Also the last row of buttons goes off the bottom of the screen. Should I be declaring actual sizes for everything? I want the app to scale correctly if the screen size should change. I want nice finger sized buttons that utilize the bottom half of the screen well. My current xml looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/widget28" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; > <ImageView android:id="@+id/image1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scaleType="centerInside" android:src="@drawable/imagefile" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" > </ImageView> <TableLayout android:id="@+id/widget37" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_below="@id/image1" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" > <TableRow android:id="@+id/widget42" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" > <Button android:id="@+id/button7" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="7" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/button8" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="8" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/button9" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="9" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/dividebutton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="/" > </Button> </TableRow> <TableRow android:id="@+id/widget45" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" > <Button android:id="@+id/button4" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="4" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/button5" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="5" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/button6" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="6" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/multiplybutton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="x" > </Button> </TableRow> <TableRow android:id="@+id/widget44" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" > <Button android:id="@+id/button1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="1" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/button2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="2" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/button3" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="3" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/minusbutton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="-" > </Button> </TableRow> <TableRow android:id="@+id/widget43" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" > <Button android:id="@+id/button0" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="0" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/decimalbutton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="." > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/equalsbutton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="=" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/plusbutton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="+" > </Button> </TableRow> </TableLayout> </RelativeLayout> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
