Center a button in a Linear layout

2020-01-30 02:25发布

问题:

I am using a linear layout to display a pretty light initial screen. It has 1 button that is supposed to centre in the screen both horizontally and vertically. However no matter what I try to do the button will top align centre. I have included the XML below, can some one point me in the right direction?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btnFindMe" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
        android:background="@drawable/findme"></ImageButton>

</LinearLayout>

回答1:

If you want to center an item in the middle of the screen don't use a LinearLayout as these are meant for displaying a number of items in a row.

Use a RelativeLayout instead.

So replace:

android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"

for the relevant RelativeLayout option:

android:layout_centerInParent="true"

So your layout file will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout01" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btnFindMe" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:background="@drawable/findme"></ImageButton>

</RelativeLayout>


回答2:

Center using a LinearLayout:

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/LinearLayout1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/btnFindMe"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/findme" />
</LinearLayout>


回答3:

Have you tried defining android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" inside the layout and setting android:layout_weight="1" in the image?



回答4:

A commonly-used method that works with linear layout is to set a property on the image button

android:layout_gravity="center"

You can choose whether to left-align, center-align, or right-align each object in the linear layout. Note that the above line is precisely the same as

android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"


回答5:

Add this

android:gravity="center"

In LinearLayout.



回答6:

easy with this

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:visibility="visible" 
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <ProgressBar
            android:id="@+id/pbEndTrip"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Gettings" />
    </LinearLayout>


回答7:

You can use the RelativeLayout.



回答8:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btnFindMe" 
        android:layout_width="match_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity = "center"
        android:background="@drawable/findme">
    </ImageButton>

</LinearLayout>

The above code will work.



回答9:

If you use LinearLayout you can add gravity center:

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center">
            <Button
            android:layout_width="200dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            />
</LinearLayout>`

回答11:

As per the Android documentation for XML Attributes of android:layout_gravity, we can do it easily :)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageButton android:id="@+id/btnFindMe" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_gravity="center"

        android:background="@drawable/findme"></ImageButton>

</LinearLayout>


回答12:

Set to true android:layout_alignParentTop="true" and android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" in the Button, like this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    >
     <Button
        android:id="@+id/switch_flashlight"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/turn_on_flashlight"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
        android:onClick="action_trn"
        android:background="@android:color/holo_green_light"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:padding="5dp" />
</RelativeLayout>



回答13:

You also can Try this Code:

<LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/linear_layout"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:weightSum="2.0"
            android:background="@drawable/anyBackground" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_weight="1" >

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/img_mail"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:background="@drawable/yourImage" />
        </LinearLayout>

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_weight="1" >



<ImageView
            android:id="@+id/img_save"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:background="@drawable/yourImage" />
        </LinearLayout>
        </LinearLayout>


回答14:

just use ( to make it in the center of your layout)

        android:layout_gravity="center" 

and use

         android:layout_marginBottom="80dp"

         android:layout_marginTop="80dp"

to change postion



回答15:

You can also set the width of the LinearLayout to wrap_content and use android:layout_centerInParent, android:layout_centerVertical="true":

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
>

<ImageButton android:id="@+id/btnFindMe" 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"       
    android:background="@drawable/findme"/>



回答16:

Did you try this?

  <TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/mainlayout" android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    android:clickable="true"
    android:apiKey="apikey" />

</TableLayout>


回答17:

use

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"



回答18:

It would be easier to use relative layouts, but for linear layouts I usually center by making sure the width matches parent :

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

and then just give margins to right and left accordingly.

    android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
