I am trying to build a layout with the following structure:
Header Image
Scrollview (populated dynamically with Textviews)
Static Menu Bar
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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"
android:id="@+id/root"
tools:context=".ProfileActivity"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/profile_pic"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.071"
tools:srcCompat="@tools:sample/avatars" />
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrolly"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/ll"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
></LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottom_nav"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="128dp"
android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/profile_pic"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="-608dp"
app:itemBackground="@color/colorPrimary"
app:itemIconTint="@drawable/selector"
app:itemTextColor="@drawable/selector"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/profile_pic"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1.0"
app:menu="@menu/menu_nav" />
</RelativeLayout>
I am dynamically creating textviews and inserting them into a linearlayout within a scrollview but it ends up covering up the imageview once it is populated and my static menubar is nowhere to be found.
I am not sure what would cause this type of behavior What is the best practice in this case for populating my ScrollView?
Here is the code:
//create and display textviews of current inventory
private fun displayInventory(){
var ll : LinearLayout = findViewById(R.id.ll)
userInventory.forEach { element ->
var uId = element.Uid.toString()
var name = element.name.toString()
var purchDate = element.purchDate.toString()
var country = element.country.toString()
var local = element.local.toString()
var mine = element.mine.toString()
var weight = element.weight.toString()
var paid = element.paid.toString()
var asking = element.asking.toString()
var description = element.description.toString()
var dimensions = element.dimensions.toString()
var filePaths: ArrayList<String> = element.filePaths
var downloadUrls: ArrayList<String> = element.downloadUrls
val txtView = TextView(this)
txtView.text = "Uid: $name\n" +
"purchase date: $purchDate\n" +
"country: $country\n" +
"local: $local\n" +
"mine: $mine\n" +
"weight: $weight\n" +
"paid: $paid\n" +
"asking: $asking\n" +
"UId: $uId\n" +
"dimension: $dimensions\n" +
"FilePaths: ${filePaths.toString()}\n" +
"downloadUrls: ${downloadUrls.toString()}\n"
txtView.setTextColor(Color.BLACK)
val params = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
)
txtView.layoutParams = params
txtView.textSize = 25f
ll.addView(txtView)
}
}
Any help is much appreciated or if you see I am not following any other best practices
I don't know why you use RelativeLaoyut
if ConstraintLayout
works better than it. So, I changed it to ConstraintLayout
. 1st- your bottom navigation height which is usually 56dp
and I added it to 56dp
if you want your bottom Navigation size app default then use ?windowActionBar
in your height
of NavigationBar. 2nd - Use the Nested Scroll view for a more efficient result. your new code is like the below.
<?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:id="@+id/root"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/profile_pic"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:srcCompat="@tools:sample/avatars" />
<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrolly"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:fillViewport="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/bottom_nav"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.5"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/profile_pic">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/ll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" />
</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="@+id/bottom_nav"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
app:itemBackground="@color/colorPrimary"
app:itemIconTint="@drawable/selector"
app:itemTextColor="@drawable/selector"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.5"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:menu="@menu/menu_nav" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
