This should be easy, but everything I try is not quite right. I want to use an XML RelativeLayout to position 5 square ImageButtons along the bottom of the screen. The images are defined by a 120 x 120 pixel PNG, so it needs to be scaled down to fit in a Droid in portrait mode, for instance. I have tried specify for each button:
android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_width="50px" android:layout_height="50px" android:scaleType="fitXY" The layout_weight="1" is necessary to make the buttons spread out horizontally and share the space. Otherwise they bunch up at the beginning. The layout_width and layout_height are arbitrary, but they are necessary to keep the program from crashing. the scaleType of "fitXY" is necessary to make the image scale down to the laid out size of the button. But it only scales in X. It leaves Y at 50px because that was my arbitrary setting. I want the ImageButton to remain square, so I need the X and Y sizes to be the same. I don't know how to do that in XML without specifying them explicitly, and I don't want to do that because I want the X sizes to be set by dividing up the available width evenly in the layout process. I am willing to do some adjustments in onCreate, but what can I do to force the 1:1 aspect ratio of the buttons and still benefit from convenience of XML layout? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
