Have 2x2 grid(Dynamic using TableLayout) need to show image on that. now based on image size, means-- if image fit for 1 cell means 1 cell,else big means 2 cells or 4 cells based on size( I know how many cells it will occupy)
i can show image in 1 cell, but problem is if image need 2 cells(1st column) how can show image in 2cell(With out disturbing the grid)
Without disturbing the grid, the workaround I see is to dynamically set image on top of your TableLayout.
Then you can archive this:
I've uploaded the code of the test project here;
You initialize overlappingImage and once you need to set image to your cell - you just add it to the layout and setting height and width params based on number of cells you want to fill.
TableLayout generates dynamically, the cell's layout xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content">
<View
android:layout_margin="4dp"
android:background="#aacc00"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_width="40dp"/>
</FrameLayout>
The Activity's layout:
<?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"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/container"
android:padding="16dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/tableLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="280dp"/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/buttonsLinearLayout"
android:layout_below="@+id/tableLayout"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
android:text="1x1"
android:id="@+id/button11"
android:onClick="onClick11"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:text="4x1"
android:id="@+id/button21"
android:onClick="onClick41"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:text="2x3 at (2;2)"
android:id="@+id/button12"
android:onClick="onClick32"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:text="2x2"
android:id="@+id/button22"
android:onClick="onClick22"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
And the Activity code to handle button clicks & generates table:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
RelativeLayout container;
int cellWidth = 0, cellHeight = 0;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
TableLayout tableLayout = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.tableLayout);
tableLayout.setStretchAllColumns(true);
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
TableRow tableRow = new TableRow(this);
for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++) {
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View cell = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.table_cell, null, false);
if (cellHeight == 0 ) {
cell.measure(View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
cellWidth = cell.getMeasuredWidth();
cellHeight = cell.getMeasuredHeight();
}
tableRow.addView(cell);
}
tableLayout.addView(tableRow);
}
container = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.container);
overlappingImage = new ImageView(this);
overlappingImage.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_XY);
}
ImageView overlappingImage;
private void restoreTableLayout() {
container.removeView(overlappingImage);
}
public void onClick11(View view) {
restoreTableLayout();
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(cellWidth, cellHeight);
overlappingImage.setLayoutParams(params);
overlappingImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.horizontal_cat);
container.addView(overlappingImage);
}
public void onClick41(View view) {
restoreTableLayout();
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(cellWidth*4, cellHeight);
overlappingImage.setLayoutParams(params);
overlappingImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.horizontal_cat);
container.addView(overlappingImage);
}
public void onClick32(View view) {
restoreTableLayout();
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(cellWidth*3, cellHeight*2);
params.setMargins(cellWidth*2, cellHeight*2, 0 ,0);
overlappingImage.setLayoutParams(params);
overlappingImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.vertical_cat);
container.addView(overlappingImage);
}
public void onClick22(View view) {
restoreTableLayout();
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(cellWidth*2, cellHeight*2);
overlappingImage.setLayoutParams(params);
overlappingImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.horizontal_cat);
container.addView(overlappingImage);
}
}
I hope, it helps.
Create separate layout files for rows that would need one cell and two cell as follows:
one_cell_table_row.xml (Notice the android:layout_span="2" for the ImageView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow
android:background="@drawable/bg_gray"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imgMyImage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_span="2" />
</TableRow>
two_cell_table_row.xml (The TextView placed just as a placeholder for the second cell) (No layout_span required here as in the above layout)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imgMyImage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="..."
android:textColor="#767575"
android:id="@+id/txtJustAPlaceholder"
android:textSize="14dp" />
</TableRow>
Note: The id for the ImageView to be kept same in both layout for the java code below to work correctly.
The above is assuming your grid is 2x2. If your grid size is different create more layout for each kind of row you want and add extra conditions in the java code below.
Adding the TableRow with the right layout inflated:
Then programatically determine which layout needs to be inflated. Inflate the required layout for table row and add it to your table layout:
Following code is assuming that you are using a fragnemt. If you are doing directly in an activity replace code to work for Activity accordingly.
TableLayout table = (TableLayout) getView().findViewById(R.id.youtTableLayout);
if(<your image size needs two cells>) {
TableRow row = (TableRow) LayoutInflater.from(getActivity().getApplicationContext())
.inflate(R.layout.two_cell_table_row, null);
}
else if(<your image size needs one cell) {
TableRow row = (TableRow) LayoutInflater.from(getActivity().getApplicationContext())
.inflate(R.layout.one_cell_table_row, null);
}
...
...
// add more conditions and respective layouts as you need.
...
...
ImageView myImgView = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.txtCrdSectionHeader);
// set the image for your image view here.
table.addView(row);
table.requestLayout();
Again, the above was assuming that your TableLayout has a 2x2 grid. If you plan to use a different one, update the layout files for TableRows we created above accordingly or set them dynamically using your java code.
You can calculate the image size and the screen size at runtime.Based on the calculations you can set the table properties at runtime. For example if the image is going to take two columns set the span property on that row programmatically.
I would suggest for your requirement you can consider creating the layout in code itself-rather than using any xml.
You can also have a look at Recycler view. It has more powerful ways to control the layout of the children. Have a look at this video-Mastering Recycler View -It is trying to do similar thing what you are looking for.
