Hi, I'll describe my situation briefly.
I have *main_actvity.xml *file which looks like this(just followed Android Devs guide): 1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 2. <RelativeLayout xmlns:android= "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 3. xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" 4. android:layout_width="match_parent" 5. android:layout_height="match_parent" 6. android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" 7. android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" 8. android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" 9. android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" 10. tools:context="com.example.ivan.fragmentsgameplay.MainActivity"> 11. 12. <TextView 13. android:layout_width="wrap_content" 14. android:layout_height="wrap_content" 15. android:text="Hello World!" /> 16. 17. <LinearLayout xmlns:android= "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 18. android:orientation="vertical" 19. android:layout_width="match_parent" 20. android:layout_height="match_parent"> 21. <fragment android:name= "com.example.ivan.fragmentsgameplay.FragmentOne" 22. android:id="@+id/list" 23. android:layout_weight="1" 24. android:layout_width="match_parent" 25. android:layout_height="0dp" /> 26. <fragment android:name= "com.example.ivan.fragmentsgameplay.FragmentTwo" 27. android:id="@+id/viewer" 28. android:layout_weight="2" 29. android:layout_width="match_parent" 30. android:layout_height="0dp" /> 31. </LinearLayout> 32. </RelativeLayout> As you can see there are two fragments that are placed with 1/3 to 2/3 ratio one above the other. The problem is when I work separately on, say: *fragmentOne.xml* file (via Design bar in Android Studio. ) It shows me that this layout actually fills up all the screen space. So as far as can understand the final output layout will be dictated by *main_activity.xml* and all the great stuff that I would add to *fragmentOne.xml* will be resized in order to fit onto screen. My question is about* fragmentOne.xml *(and fragmentTwo.xml too ^_^) is there some good way to change this xml file in such a manner that the fragment's layout will be presented in accordance with a proportions defined at *main_activity.xml*? I mean in such case I'll be able to work within a dimensions that will be actually presented to user, and will place all the elements (inside fragmentOne layout) in a proper way. Without having a headache of rearranging those elements afterwards due to re-sizing of *main_activity.xml.* An example of my *fragmentOne.xml *file(just some dumb layout having a single button): 1. <FrameLayout xmlns:android= "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 2. xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" 3. android:layout_width="match_parent" 4. android:layout_height="match_parent" 5. tools:context="com.example.ivan.fragmentsgameplay.FragmentOne" 6. android:background="#323b8a"> 7. 8. 9. 10. <Button <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=allinurl%3Adocs.oracle.com+javase+docs+api+button> 11. android:layout_width="wrap_content" 12. android:layout_height="wrap_content" 13. android:id="@+id/frag_one_button" 14. android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|top" 15. android:textAllCaps="true" 16. android:text="Go To Fragment Two" /> 17. </FrameLayout> Thanks a lot for help (hope my question was clear ^_^, and yes I'm an Android newbie). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
