I am having a problem getting my list view based on retrieved data from a database to show the full screen and scroll. For some reason neither the fill_parent or wrap_content values for my layout height setting is being recognized. Right now my view only shows about a quarter of the screen. However, if I put in a hard codded number for the height it works, but that is not a good solution because the user can enter unlimited number of entries that could be displayed on the list. Without the hard coded size I can see that something is being displayed behind the list for a couple seconds. I am assuming it is an error message but cannot figure out how to find out what it is saying.
It worked correctly at one time but I cannot figure out what now is preventing the screen from using the whole size with scrolling if needed. The code I use is below. ----------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="1600px" // tired "fill_parent" and "wrap_content" as well android:padding="5px"/> <TextView android:id="@android:id/empty" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center" android:text="No Locations Have Been Marked" /> </LinearLayout> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#89B6FF" > <TextView android:id="@+id/loc_id" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#000000" android:text="LOC ID: " android:textStyle="bold" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/display" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#000000"/> </LinearLayout> super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main_selected); Criteria locationCriteria = new Criteria(); locationCriteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE); MapBack.loc_manager.requestLocationUpdates(MapBack.loc_manager.getBestProvider(locationCriteria, true), 0, 0, MapBack.loc_listener); try { lv_err_msg = "Error creating DB Adapter"; DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this); lv_err_msg = "Error retrieving DB Cursor"; db.open(); lv_cursor = db.getAllLocations(); lv_err_msg = "Error starting Cursor Manager"; startManagingCursor(lv_cursor); String[] from = new String[] { "loc_display" ,"_id" }; int[] to = new int[] { R.id.display ,R.id.loc_id }; lv_err_msg = "Error creating Simple Cursor Adapter"; final SimpleCursorAdapter LocationList = new SimpleCursorAdapter ( this ,R.layout.main_selected_row ,lv_cursor ,from ,to); lv_err_msg = "Error setting List Adapter"; setListAdapter(LocationList); lv_err_msg = "Error setting up ArrayAdapter data set changed"; lv_adapter = ((SimpleCursorAdapter)getListAdapter()); db.close(); int lv_height = LocationList.getCount() * 120; lv_err_msg = "Error setting up list Action Selections"; ListView lv = getListView(); lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> av, View v, int pos, long id) { show_action_list(LocationList,v,pos,id); } }); } catch (Exception e) { AlertDialog.Builder DrawListAlertBox = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); DrawListAlertBox.setMessage(lv_err_msg + " - " + e); DrawListAlertBox.setNeutralButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) { } } ); DrawListAlertBox.show(); } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
