View overlapping with RelativeLayout on Android 1.5
- by Justin
I am having a problem with views overlapping in a RelativeLayout on Android 1.5... Everything is working fine on Android 1.6 and above.
I do understand that Android 1.5 has some issues with RelativeLayout, but I was not able to find anything on StackOverflow or the android beginners group for my specific problem.
My layout consists of four sections, each of which are made up of a TextView, a Gallery, and another TextView aligned vertically:
Running Apps
Recent Apps
Services
Processes
When all four sets of these items are displayed everything works fine. However, my app allows the user to specify that some of these are not displayed. If the user turns off Running Apps, Recent Apps, or Services then the remaining sections all of a sudden overlap eachother.
Here is my code for the layout. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. When the user turns off display of a section I use the View.GONE visibility setting:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="@null"
>
<!-- Running Gallery View Items -->
<TextView
style="@style/TitleText"
android:id="@+id/running_gallery_title_text_id"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:paddingLeft="1sp"
android:paddingRight="10sp"
android:text="@string/running_title"
/>
<Gallery
android:id="@+id/running_gallery_id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/running_gallery_title_text_id"
android:spacing="5sp"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:unselectedAlpha=".5"
/>
<TextView
style="@style/SubTitleText"
android:id="@+id/running_gallery_current_text_id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/running_gallery_id"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
/>
<!-- Recent Gallery View Items -->
<TextView
style="@style/TitleText"
android:id="@+id/recent_gallery_title_text_id"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/running_gallery_current_text_id"
android:gravity="left"
android:paddingLeft="1sp"
android:paddingRight="10sp"
android:text="@string/recent_title"
/>
<Gallery
android:id="@+id/recent_gallery_id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/recent_gallery_title_text_id"
android:spacing="5sp"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:unselectedAlpha=".5"
/>
<TextView
style="@style/SubTitleText"
android:id="@+id/recent_gallery_current_text_id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/recent_gallery_id"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
/>
<!-- Service Gallery View Items -->
<TextView
style="@style/TitleText"
android:id="@+id/service_gallery_title_text_id"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/recent_gallery_current_text_id"
android:gravity="left"
android:paddingLeft="1sp"
android:paddingRight="10sp"
android:text="@string/service_title"
/>
<Gallery
android:id="@+id/service_gallery_id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/service_gallery_title_text_id"
android:spacing="5sp"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:unselectedAlpha=".5"
/>
<TextView
style="@style/SubTitleText"
android:id="@+id/service_gallery_current_text_id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/service_gallery_id"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
I ommitted the xml for the Processes section in a (somewhat vain) attempt to keep this shorter...
What can I do to make this work in Android 1.5? I don't think it is just a matter of reordering the views in the xml because it works fine when everything is displayed.
