Question related to "Hello Gallery" Android Tutorial (How to display the image in full?)

Question

I've implemented the Hello Gallery tutorial from the Android web:

http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-gallery.html

The tutorial shows what happens when you select an image from the gallery - just display its position.

However, I also want to display the image in full size when an image is selected. Can someone tell how to do that?

Here's the code when an image is clicked:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Gallery g = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery);
    g.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));

    g.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id) {
           Toast.makeText(HelloGallery.this, "" + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
 }

I unsuccessfully tried adding another 'ImageView' in main.xml, but it won't let me place that on the layout. May be because it's gallery layout?

Thanks.

In your onClick() you probably want to set the layout of the image to fill_parent with something like:

imageView.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
