Background:
- Google suggests to avoid using nested weighted linearLayouts because of performance.
- using nested weighted linearLayout is awful to read, write and maintain.
- there is still no good alternative for putting views that are % of the available size. Only solutions are weights and using OpenGL. There isn't even something like the "viewBox" shown on WPF/Silverlight to auto-scale things.
This is why I've decided to create my own layout which you tell for each of its children exactly what should be their weights (and surrounding weights) compared to its size.
It seems I've succeeded , but for some reason I think there are some bugs which I can't track down.
One of the bugs is that textView, even though I give a lot of space for it, it puts the text on the top instead of in the center. imageViews on the other hand work very well. Another bug is that if I use a layout (for example a frameLayout) inside my customized layout, views within it won't be shown (but the layout itself will).
Please help me figure out why it occurs.
How to use: instead of the next usage of linear layout (I use a long XML on purpose, to show how my solution can shorten things):
<LinearLayout 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" android:orientation="vertical">
<View android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0px" android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<View android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<TextView android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:text="@string/hello_world"
android:background="#ffff0000" android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="20dp" android:textColor="#ff000000" />
<View android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<View android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
What I do is simply (the x is where to put the view itself in the weights list):
<com.example.weightedlayouttest.WeightedLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.example.weightedlayouttest"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="0px"
app:horizontalWeights="1,1x,1" app:verticalWeights="1,1x,1"
android:text="@string/hello_world" android:background="#ffff0000"
android:gravity="center" android:textSize="20dp" android:textColor="#ff000000" />
</com.example.weightedlayouttest.WeightedLayout>
My code of the special layout is:

return isCorrectInstance;
