I am using Gallery like this
<Gallery
android:id="@+id/gallery1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:spacing="2dp" >
</Gallery>
but when I am running the code I am finding gallery starting from middle and I want to start it from left. what should I do for this please help me.
just set the selection of Gallery to next, which resemble that gallery is in Left position.
Gallery mGallery= (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery);
mGallery.setSelection(1);
then continue with your normal work :)
A structure describing general information about a display, such as its size, density, and font scaling.To access the DisplayMetrics members, initialize an object like this
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
Gallery g = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery);
// set gallery to left side
MarginLayoutParams mlp = (MarginLayoutParams) g.getLayoutParams();
mlp.setMargins(-(metrics.widthPixels / 2 + (imageWidth/2)), mlp.topMargin,
mlp.rightMargin, mlp.bottomMargin);
You should use setSelection(1) but it's important to place it after setAdapter(). In another case it doesn't work.
Gallery gallery = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery);
gallery.setAdapter(new GalleryImageAdapter(this));
gallery.setSelection(1);
What you need to use is .setSelection not .setSelected, example below
Gallery gallery= (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery);
gallery.setSelection(1);
Set left margin of the Gallery to the negative integer (say -80 dip). To properly calculate you would check for the screen width at the run time and then given your item (image) width you will do something like:
int offset = width/2 - itemWidth/2; // you may add your spacing here too
MarginLayoutParams mlp = (MarginLayoutParams) getLayoutParams();
mlp.setMargins(-offset, mlp.topMargin, mlp.rightMargin, mlp.bottomMargin);
Try this it will work.....
Gallery g=(Gallery)findViewById(R.id.gallery1);
MarginLayoutParams mlp=(MarginLayoutParams)g.getLayoutParams();
mlp.setMargins(-200, 0, 0, 0);
