I want to make this kind of menu of tags in android. Fill layout dynamically and align to center.
How can I do that?
Edited using library recommended by @Dory
<FlowLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:f="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="horizontal"
f:debugDraw="false"
f:weightDefault="0"
f:layoutDirection="ltr"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="6dip"
android:paddingTop="6dip"
android:paddingRight="12dip"
android:paddingBottom="12dip"
android:background="@android:color/black"
android:id="@+id/l_flow"/>
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="3dp"/>
Flowlayout in one xml file Button is in another xml file. I'm inflating Button then fLayout.addView(button);
what I get is this Padding top and bottom between views is higher than expected
finally I did it with help of this library. I have used only class FlowLayout and attr.xml My main.xml looks like this:
<com.example.FlowTest.FlowLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/flow"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:background="@android:color/white"/>
and my item layout looks like this:
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:padding="5dp"/>
And in my Activity's onCreate method:
LayoutInflater mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
mFlowLayout = (FlowLayout) findViewById(R.id.flow);
String [] names = {"goods", "shops", "cars", "washing machine","blablabla","clothes","books"};
for(int i = 0; i<names.length;i++){
Button b = (Button)mInflater.inflate(R.layout.item_flow,mFlowLayout, false);
b.setText(names[i]);
mFlowLayout.addView(b);
}
