Interval between two neighboring items inside LinearLayout

x-files · by **x-files** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 5:05 pm

I have a LinearLayout. Initially it is empty. Then I add to it several TextView components via its addView() method. How can I set interval (marging) between two neighboring TextView components ?

If your LinearLayout is vertical, please use:
android:layout_marginBottom="Xdip" and/or android:layout_marginTop="Xdip"

Else if your LinearLayout is horizontal, please use:
android:layout_marginLeft="Xdip" and/or android:layout_marginRight="Xdip"

X is a number, e.g. 3

It should work.

it isn't work.

android:layout_marginBottom - specifies extra space on the bottom side of this view.

I need to add extra space between chield of LinearLayout.

Sorry for I didn't describe it clear, your should add those parameters to the widgets. Those parameters means the widget/(also for layout) will have a interval with its neighbor.

How can I set interval between two neighboring lines into this list?

Hey guys,

you can do that by calling setPadding(int,int,int,int); or in xml via "...android:paddingBottom="4px"...":

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

<span style="font-weight: bold"> public void setPadding(int left, int top, int right, int bottom)</span>
 
Sets the padding.
 
Related XML Attributes
 
    * android:padding
 
    * android:paddingBottom
 
    * android:paddingLeft
 
    * android:paddingRight
 
    * android:paddingTop
Parsed in 0.055 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

The padding is expressed in pixels for the left, top, right and bottom parts of the view. Padding can be used to offset the content of the view by a specific amount of pixels. For instance, a left padding of 2 will push the view's content by 2 pixels to the right of the left edge. Padding can be set using the setPadding(int, int, int, int) method and queried by calling getPaddingLeft(), getPaddingTop(), getPaddingRight() and getPaddingBottom().

Hope I could help you.

plusminus

Hi plusminus, I tried do it... Such paddings attributes change an interval between text lines into one item of list, but not between two neighboring items of list It can see if items of list have a background.

Hello AndreySerj,

so if this ...
[align=center]

[/align]

isn't what you want to do, I missunderstood you

Could you rephrase your question :?:

Hello, plusminus
I mean this ...

plusminus · by **plusminus** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 1:47 pm

Hello AndreySerj,

tried some minutes, but couldn't find the appropriate xml-tag for this

Perhaps it is not possible with a default ArrayAdapter

hello plusminus,
Means its not possible in current android sdk or what is there any solution for this ???

Waiting for your reply ?

For what it's worth, as I could find no coding solution to this, I have been using empty TextViews to create this kind of empty space between objects. It does what I want but I am not sure what pitfalls doing it that way might have...

zeeshan · by **zeeshan** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 2:02 pm

have u used

od = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
od.setDividerHeight(15);
