I have a problem using GridLayout using library compatibility (not tried without). I am using app:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
instead of android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
but all the content inside the TextView
is not displayed. In order to display everything, I have to set the height of the TextView
"Title" but I want a dynamic height, not a set height.
Any idea?
You have to set layout_width="0dp"
and layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
for the TextView.
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal" />
Please, see full example here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-developers/OmH3VBwesOQ/ZOGR0SGvC3cJ or here: http://daniel-codes.blogspot.com/2012/01/gridlayout-view-clipping-issues.html
Using TextView
inside GridLayout
is problematic, but there is a good way to use both together.
This is what the example layout looks like:
And this is the complete layout xml, the important lines are marked with ***.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:columnCount="3" * this example uses 3 columns
android:orientation="horizontal" > *** use "horizontal"
<TextView * just a normal view
android:layout_column="0"
android:layout_row="0"
android:background="#666666"
android:text="A"
android:textColor="#afafaf"
android:textSize="60sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView * this text will not be cut!
android:layout_width="0dp" *** important: set width to 0dp
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_column="1"
android:layout_columnSpan="2" * colspan does also work with this
android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal|bottom" *** set to "fill*"!
android:layout_row="0"
android:text="This view has 2 columns. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr."
android:textColor="#666666" />
</GridLayout>
Depending on your needs, also this combination will work:
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_gravity="fill"
android:gravity="bottom"
Note that you don't have to use any namespace other than android
for this to work.
