Hi All, I have a problem with a FrameLayout inside a LinearLayout/ViewSwitcher which has been dogging me for days! Any help would be appreciated:
In the XML, I have a LinearLayout that defines a background theme, a ViewSwitcher inside that, and a LinearLayout in the first (upper) half of the ViewSwitcher. The upper half of the ViewSwitcher has several TextViews and a FrameLayout which places the frame in the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen. I insert a live image from the camera into that FrameLayout. So far, so good! The 2nd half of the ViewSwitcher only has a single FrameLayout in it, in which I also insert the live camera view. I want this 2nd FrameLayout to fill the screen inside the background - but it doesn't. The first screen and the swiping between the 2 switchable views works OK, but I can't get the single FrameLayout in the 2nd screen to fill the view (the background theme has a full-width button at the top and bottom - this displays OK). The 2nd switched view still has the small video frame in it. I've tried everything I can think of and searched what feels like every single relevant post on SO, but I can't get the 2nd FrameLayout to fill the screen. I've tried putting the 2nd FrameLayout inside it's own LinearLayout, but to no avail. If I move the single FrameLayout to the upper half of the ViewSwitcher (so that it appears first on onCreate), then I get the full-screen video image that I want, but then switching to the 2nd view gives me no video frame at all (but all the text views are there)! Setting android:measureAllChildren="false" in the XML and switcher.setMeasureAllChildren(false); in the code makes no difference. Here's the XML... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; style="@style/background" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <ViewSwitcher android:id="@+id/viewswitcher" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:measureAllChildren="false" android:layout_weight="1" > <!-- *************** V I E W O N E *************** --> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_marginLeft="1sp" android:orientation="horizontal" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_marginRight="5sp" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:id="@+id/txt1" style="@style/normaltext" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="1sp" android:text="@string/str1" /> .... .... <TextView android:id="@+id/txt3" style="@style/normaltext" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="1sp" android:text="@string/str2" /> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="1sp" android:layout_marginRight="1sp" android:layout_weight="0.38" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:id="@+id/txt4" style="@style/normaltext" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="1sp" /> .... .... <TextView android:id="@+id/txt5" style="@style/normaltext" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="1sp" android:text="@string/str3" /> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/camimage" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > </FrameLayout> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> <!-- *************** V I E W T W O *************** --> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:measureAllChildren="false" android:layout_weight="1" > <FrameLayout android:id="@id/camimage" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > </FrameLayout> </LinearLayout> </ViewSwitcher> <Button android:id="@+id/colour" style="@style/button_style" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:text="@string/ButtonDefault" /> </LinearLayout> I'm sure it's just a case of the Switcher taking the size of the first FrameLayout instance it sees and then it's stuck with that for both views, but I can't find a way to get it to resize the FrameLayout to fill the screen on the 2nd view. Can anybody help with this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
