relativelayout

I have a problem with placing my views (my class extends View ) in a specific location. I have designed a game that treats the screen as a net of grids. I get from the user x and y coordinates of a specific view (I have different types of views). My first mission is to set the correct view in its place. How can I do it? I am using RelativeLayout for the screen. P.S. I don't want to use AbsoluteLayout params because it was truncated. wsgfz This is not the best way to achieve it, but it's a solution...

When trying to use the Height and Width properties of a control in Xamarin.Forms, both return -1, and it causes the Relative Layout to appear off-centered on the screen. var mainLayout = new RelativeLayout(); //Add the Switch to the center of the screen mainLayout.Children.Add(mySwitch, Constraint.RelativeToParent(parent => parent.Width / 2 - mySwitch.Width / 2), Constraint.RelativeToParent(parent => parent.Height / 2 - mySwitch.Height / 2)); //Add a Label below the switch mainLayout.Children.Add(switchLabel, Constraint.RelativeToParent(parent => parent.Width / 2 - switchLabel.Width / 2),

I have noticed that the setBackground method for the RelativeLayout object is targeted for API 16 (Android 4.1) and higher, but my application has the target API 8 and I cannot use it. Is there any alternative solution for this problem (besides marking the class/method with TargetApi (16) or changing the target API in the manifest)? Thank you! Edit : Eclipse was buggy and it showed me the same error for setBackgroundDrawable but now it seems to work. Thank you for your help. Eric Use one of: .setBackgroundColor(int) (if you're setting it to a color) .setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable) (if you're

I have been trying to use Fixed footer not displaying the bottom-most list item but does not work with scrollview . Note i am not using listview but it is a big layouts with images and buttons . The footer should be positioned at the botton always even while user is scrolling . FourSquare has this in their app where there is fixed footer even while scrolling. <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:fillViewport="true" > <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/root" android:layout_width="wrap

I am trying to create a nice layout for my list items, but my code only works when it is simplified like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:padding="10dp" android:textSize="16sp" > </TextView> When I add a little bit more it compiles and runs but it force closes on start and gives me the error ArrayAdapter requires ID to be a TextView : <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill
