I want to design a messages button that is attached to a label showing the number of messgaes. Like the image below
I designed it with android studio, but the label is not aligned properly. How I can put it at the top of the button?
Here is my code
<?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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".HomeActivity">
<Button
android:id="@+id/msg"
android:layout_width="157dp"
android:layout_height="42dp"
android:background="@color/lightgrey"
android:backgroundTint="#@color/lightgrey"
android:text="Messages"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.206" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/mark"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_textview"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="2"
android:textColor="@color/lightgrey"
android:textSize="20sp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.662"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.17" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
You need to remove any constraints of the TextView
attached to the parent, and make the TextView
only constrained to the Button
<?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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".HomeActivity">
<Button
android:id="@+id/msg"
android:layout_width="157dp"
android:layout_height="42dp"
android:background="@color/lightgrey"
android:backgroundTint="#@color/lightgrey"
android:text="Messages"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.206"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/mark"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_textview"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="2"
android:textColor="@color/lightgrey"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:elevation="10dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/msg"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="@id/msg"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@id/msg"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@id/msg" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
