How to make Edittext size stay put? Android

问题:

I know the attribute which makes the text "disapear" on the left part of the Edittext to maintain a single line, (singleLine="true"). But my issue is when I fill the edittext before the view is displayed... in this case, my edittexts are all going out of the screen... any ideas? thx!

This is what is get when fill the empty Edittext. Everything stays put, and the text is vanishing on its left side

and when I prefill from my DB

here is the code of the edittext :

<EditText android:id="@+id/InscripChampNom"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="14px"
android:inputType="textPersonName" android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
android:singleLine="true" android:textColor="@color/background"></EditText>

The tableLayout is defined as follows:

<TableLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:stretchColumns="1" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

I also tried with the attribute

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

and

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

no success at all...

Maybe there is a conflict between input type and singleline?

EDIT Here is the full code of my issue :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:scrollbars="vertical" android:background="@color/backgroundzen"
android:layout_gravity="fill" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:paddingLeft="6dip"
android:paddingRight="6dip">
<TableLayout style="@style/LayoutWhiteBgrdFillWrap"
    android:paddingLeft="6dip" android:paddingRight="6dip"
    android:stretchColumns="1">
    <TextView android:id="@+id/NomFormationConference" style="@style/textViewTitleRedzenBold"
        android:text="Nom conférence"></TextView>
    <TableRow android:layout_margin="2dip">
        <TextView android:id="@+id/DateSession" android:textColor="@color/textezenrouge"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:text="date début"></TextView>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/speakerConf" android:textColor="@color/textezenrouge"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:text="speaker"></TextView>
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow android:layout_margin="2dip">
        <TextView android:id="@+id/InscripNom" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:textColor="@color/background" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/nom" android:textStyle="bold"></TextView>
        <EditText android:id="@+id/InscripChampNom"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="14sp"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:inputType="textPersonName"
            android:layout_marginRight="20dip" android:hint="@string/nomh"
            android:singleLine="true" android:textColor="@color/background"></EditText>
    </TableRow>

//The last tablerow is repeated 5 times with various data inside.

The style is like that :

<style name="LayoutWhiteBgrdFillWrap">
    <item name="android:background">@color/backgroundzen</item>
    <item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">fill_parent</item>
</style>

And here is how I fill the EditText :

misc = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase("/data/data/com.mobile.zen/databases/" + Constants.UNVERSIONNED_DATABASE, null,
            SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);
    Cursor c = misc.query("MISC", null, null, null, null, null, null);
    if (c.moveToFirst()) {
        do {
            nomInscrit.setText(c.getString(1));
        } while (c.moveToNext());
    }
    c.close();
    misc.close();

回答1:

Try adding android:shrinkColumns="1" to your TableLayout to tell it that it can force the EditText items to be smaller to fit into the width of the screen.

回答2:

You have no android:layout_width attribute on your EditText. Add one or otherwise constrain how long the field can be (e.g., if it is in a RelativeLayout, use android:layout_alignParentRight="true").

I just tried to reproduce your issue but I couldn't.

Check this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:stretchColumns="1"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <EditText android:id="@+id/a" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="14px" android:inputType="textPersonName"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dip" android:singleLine="true"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"></EditText>

    <EditText android:id="@+id/b" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="14px" android:inputType="textPersonName"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dip" android:singleLine="true"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"></EditText>

    <EditText android:id="@+id/c" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="14px" android:inputType="textPersonName"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dip" android:singleLine="true"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"></EditText>

</TableLayout>

Might be a possible bug in Android. But one way to solve it may be is to specify some value as a width to the Edit Text box and specify

android:stretchColumns="1"

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:scrollbars="vertical" android:background="#ffffff"
android:layout_gravity="fill" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:paddingLeft="6dip">
  <TableLayout android:layout_below="@+id/reltable1" android:id="@+id/tablelayout_main" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="10dip" android:layout_marginBottom="10dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:gravity="center" android:stretchColumns="1">
    <TextView android:id="@+id/NomFormationConference" 
        android:text="Nom conférence"></TextView>
    <TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
        <TextView android:id="@+id/DateSession"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:text="date début"></TextView>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/speakerConf" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:text="speaker"></TextView>
    </TableRow>
      <TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
        <TextView android:id="@+id/InscripNom" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="nom" android:textStyle="bold"></TextView>
        <EditText android:id="@+id/InscripChampNom"
            android:textSize="14sp"
            android:inputType="textPersonName"
            android:hint="nomh" android:text="dsfdsfdsfsdfsdfsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:layout_width="220dip" android:ellipsize="end"></EditText>
    </TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>

I have also Added height and width property for TableRow

回答5:

i don't think tablelayout works in scrollview. i had a setup as such and it does not throw errors but the emulator just does not load the app and says stopped working. i removed the scrollview and thing started working.

i think the problem is that tablelayout has its own scroll bars it does not need scrollview and perhaps the two conflict.

<EditText 
    android:id="@+id/InscripChampNom"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:textSize="14px" 
    android:inputType="none" 
    android:layout_marginRight="20dip" 
    android:singleLine="true" 
    android:textColor="@color/background" 
    android:editable="false"
    android:ellipsize="end">
</EditText>
