android-xml

I am currently creating an application that have some strings (>300 for now) and I have some problems to quickly find a string with so many of them. So I was considering the possibility of using several string.xml files instead of only one (string_menu, string_activity1, ...). Is there any side-effect with this practice? Is it a bad or a good practice? I ask this because it seems that no many people on the net are using this possibility. So maybe there is some problem with it? As stated in the documentation you can use whatever filename you want: The filename is arbitrary. The <string> element

I already tried several answers I could find but none of them worked with the latest Facebook Android SDK version 4.0. How can I change the layout height with the latest SDK? Just set paddingTop and paddingBottom. It works for me. <com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton android:id="@+id/login_facebook_button" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingTop="15dp" android:paddingBottom="15dp" android:layout_marginRight="30dp" android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"/> For Facebook SDK v4.x ( or rather than using separate xml style or programmatically ) The

I have expandablelistview and I want to add padding (or margin) between the groups items, I used margin-botton on the group items, it works but now it is also applied to the group item and its childs, I want to keep a space between groups items, not between a group item and its child, i work like this: main xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#FFFFFF"> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap

I would like to make an ImageView overlay another ImageView like this; only half of the circle green is overlaying the image: I have tried using RelativeLayout and put both ImageView inside. Then I overlay the circle over the image by using android:layout_alignBottom . It did overlay the but I have no idea how to set the offset so that only half of the circle is overlaying the base image. EDIT: Sorry, here is my layout xml code <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_marginBottom="32sp" > <ImageView

If I have an Activity that has it's theme set to Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog , it will scale great. It will fill the screen on phones in portrait mode almost entirely but in landscape mode it won't stretch unreasonably long. For example, in this picture from Google, you can see the dialog not filling the whole screen. It won't either collapse to match the width of the title like what will happen if you have your own Dialog build by having a class that extends the Dialog class. This is what will happen with my layout. What properties do I need to apply to the LinearLayout to make it scale pretty?
