I have an imageview. I want its width to be fill_parent. I want its height to be whatever the width ends up being. For example:
Here I what I did to have an ImageButton which always have a width equals to its height (and avoid stupid empty margins in one direction...which I consider a as a bug of the SDK...):
I defined a SquareImageButton class which extends from ImageButton:
package com.myproject;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
public class SquareImageButton extends ImageButton {
public SquareImageButton(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public SquareImageButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public SquareImageButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
int squareDim = 1000000000;
@Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec){
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int h = this.getMeasuredHeight();
int w = this.getMeasuredWidth();
int curSquareDim = Math.min(w, h);
// Inside a viewholder or other grid element,
// with dynamically added content that is not in the XML,
// height may be 0.
// In that case, use the other dimension.
if (curSquareDim == 0)
curSquareDim = Math.max(w, h);
if(curSquareDim < squareDim)
{
squareDim = curSquareDim;
}
Log.d("MyApp", "h "+h+"w "+w+"squareDim "+squareDim);
setMeasuredDimension(squareDim, squareDim);
}
}
Here is my xml:
Works like a charm !
