Align mutliple textview to both center and similar left alignment for all screens

enter image description here

I am working on a bottom sheet dialog and was wondering how to align all 3 textviews to the center as well as align them with the same left margin. Please note that there is also an imageview left to the textview for all 3 rows(Here 3 rows are rename, share and delete). gravity center makes them align to center but their left margin won't be same. I want their left margin to also be same

Solution

  • There are many ways to accomplish the above.

    1. You can use vertical LinearLayout and have 3 horizontal LinearLayout's inside, wrapping icon and text view.
    2. You could also use ConstraintLayout - you'd then have smaller depth of your layout tree.
    3. You could use RecyclerView where each item would be horizontal LinearLayout, or ConstraintLayout - representing row

    Updated as per chat with user:

    This is to give you an idea:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
        android:id="@+id/guide"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.4" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/renameIcon"
        android:layout_width="24dp"
        android:layout_height="24dp"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:background="#ff0000"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/guide"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/renameText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Rename Project"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/renameIcon"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/guide"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/renameIcon" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/shareProjectIcon"
        android:layout_width="24dp"
        android:layout_height="24dp"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:background="#ff0000"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/guide"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/renameIcon" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/shareProject"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Share Project"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/shareProjectIcon"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/guide"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/shareProjectIcon" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

    Here is how it's going to look:
