I have a couple of textswitcher's that are very similar so I wanted to reuse them (the same with a TextField, but I gonna use the textswitcher as example). The views are being used in a RelativeLayout.
The textswitcher is defined in a separate xml file: <TextSwitcher xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > </TextSwitcher> and then I would include it as: <include android:id="@+id/test" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/hoursMinutesSeparatorTextField" layout="@layout/clock_visual"/> If needed the whole mainactivity: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:padding="10dp"> <TextSwitcher android:id="@+id/hoursTextSwitcher" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true"> </TextSwitcher> <TextView android:id="@+id/hoursMinutesSeparatorTextField" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text=":" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/hoursTextSwitcher" android:textSize="36dp" > </TextView> <include android:id="@+id/test" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/hoursMinutesSeparatorTextField" layout="@layout/clock_visual"/> </RelativeLayout> A tutorial said that you can override every android:layout_* attribute in the include tag. So I want to reuse the textswitcher a couple of times, and as such the id and the android:layout_toRightOf will change so I override it. Now the weird thing is that it doesn't override the android:layout_toRightOf part. It does however work with the id. And when I for example do the same but with the following textswitcher: <TextSwitcher xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/hoursMinutesSeparatorTextField" > </TextSwitcher> Than it still doesn't override but it will lay the component out accordingly but always to the hoursTextSwitcher instead of the one I defined in my input tag. So is it normal that the android:layout_toRightOf doesn't get overriden? And if so is there another way to reuse this component? Remark: I know this question has already been posted @ http://androidforums.com/developer-101/615194-input-tag-doesnt-override-android-layout_torightof.html, but there hasn't been a response as of yet. Maybe I'll get a response here, since this is an official group. I hope someone can clarify if this is normal or not. If an answer/solution is given, I'll update the other forum/group. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
