I have a ListView which gets populated with RelativeLayouts. The content of these RelativeLayouts can change and thus change their height respectively. On each RelativeLayout, I have a little vertical bar on the left side of the layout that matches the height of the layout.
It's a similar look to this -> Link
Though for some reason, the View object that I'm using isn't expanding to the height of the layout.
What am I doing wrong?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/post"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/column_post_selector"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<!-- Status bar (THIS ISN'T FILLING TO PARENTS' HEIGHT) -->
<View
android:id="@+id/status"
android:layout_width="3dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignLeft="@id/post"
android:layout_marginBottom="2dp"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:background="#33B5E5" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_width="80dip"
android:layout_height="80dip"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/status"
android:contentDescription="@string/empty"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:scaleType="fitStart" />
<!-- Title -->
<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="@id/post"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/thumbnail"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:typeface="sans" />
<!-- Rightend Duration -->
<TextView
android:id="@+id/date"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignTop="@id/title"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
android:gravity="right"
android:textColor="#10bcc9"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</RelativeLayout>
I had a similar problem with a
RelativeLayout
inside aScrollView
. According to the documentation there is a bug inRelativeLayout
(up to version 17) that cause mistakes in measured height if it is added inside scrolling container (like ListView).So to solve the problem you should calculate height programmatically.
You could make your extended class and override the
onMeasure
method or add aOnGlobalLayoutListener
to the parent view.I choose the second way. Here is my solution:
