I'm trying to make a layout where there a lot of different pictures each taking the same amount of space. Given that i wanted them to appear in a grid i used a TableLayout.
Make cells same width and height to fill the table
According to this question it's possible to have each cell take the same width and height by adjusting the weight values.
So this is what i have in my xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

What i expected is that since each TableRow has the same amount of weight, the height of the screen should be evenly divided in 3. And then since each image has the same amount of weight within each TableRow, each image should take half the width of each TableRow, giving a nice grid appearence.
Something like this:
What actually happens is this:
I'm perfectly aware that these are images of different dimensions but it should be possible to constrain them to their bounds.
And yeah there are a lot of questions where people ask how to make the images not take more space than intended like here: ImageView taking too much vertical space
But the answer is always fixing the scale or setting adjustViewBounds to true which i've already done. So my question is,
How can i fix this?
I figured out the solution. I think that trying to restrict the height of each TableRow using layout_weight is the wrong way of thinking in the first place. According to documentation (Emphasis mine):
The children of a TableLayout cannot specify the layout_width
attribute. Width is always MATCH_PARENT. However, the layout_height
attribute can be defined by a child; default value is
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT. If the child is a TableRow,
then the height is always ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT.
Since the height can't be restricted the images can take as much space as they want, depending on their dimensions.
We can actually restrict height using LinearLayout. Using a vertical LinearLayout with three Horizontal LinearLayouts inside it we can give the same space to each image.
Each horizontal LinearLayout gets 1/3 of the height and each picture inside the horizontal LinearLayout gets 1/2 of the width.

</RelativeLayout>
On the ConstraintLayout, set
android:clipChildren="false"
This will allow the ImageView to draw outside the ConstraintLayout. See the documentation.
If you use padding on the layout instead of layout_margin, and set clipToPadding as false, things will be able to draw within the padding area. Margin is really for required space outside of the View, padding is space inside it (where it draws its contents)
I am trying to make a square Grid-layout(nested in a Constraint-layout), with all the sides equal to parent width, so that with any device, the user will have the biggest possible square on his screen.
Then I would like to have another four squares in that first square, which will be Linear-layouts with a background image, that will stretch according to the Grid-layout cell size.
Ideally, I would like to do this in XML. I am a beginner in android and excuse my maybe obvious question and mistakes in the following code, but I have been spending an awful amount of time on this, without progress. Any help is appreciated.
Below is my main.xml, where the cells have fixed dimensions. I tried messing with weight and gravity, but was unsuccessful. Just wondering if there is a simple way of making this code do what I want.

The main advantage of ConstraintLayout is allows you to make large and complex layouts with a flat view hierarchy. No nested view groups like inside RelativeLayout or LinearLayout etc. You can make Responsive UI for android using ConstraintLayout and its more flexible compare to RelativeLayout and Grid Layout.
ConstraintLayout allowing you to easily constrain any view to a percentage width or height. So i edited your code little bit. Have a look brother, hope this would help you.

I have been struggeling the last 2 hours to get the layout of an RecycleView working the way I want it to. Basically all I want is that three items of the RecycleView fit onto one screen width, like this: Example

That is almost what I wanted but the items are now sized based on the length of the description. Instead I want the description to wrap if needed. Can someone elaborate on why this is happening an how to fix it?
why this is happening
You set the width of the RelativeLayout as wrap content. It makes the widh wrapped to the content as the name suggest.
How to fix it
You have to change it to a fixed value, say 200dp.
Here are some other things I have noticed in the provided layout:
You should consider using "match_parent" instead of "fill_parent" because it is deprecated since API level 8.
layout_centerInParent="true" have no effect in the CardView because it is already filled to the parent
Remove the line weightSum="3" in the CardView because it won't work on RelativeLayout
I want to add a framed number (#+id/number_ayat) right after the end of the text(#+id/isi_ayat), but it can't if I use textview. So how can I add numbers and frames after the end of the text?

Whether this can be solved with java?
Thanks in advance for help with my problem !
I have modeled the layout in Android Studio. I had to force rtl on my layout so there may be some things to correct. The first that I sugest is changing the width of "#+id/isi_ayat" as explained below.
The changes I did were the following:
In the LinearLayout I set gravity to end for the textviews to go to the right.
For android:id="#+id/isi_ayat", I set gravity and textAlignment to end so the text aligns to the end of the TextView, and also set layout_gravity to end and center_vertical for the TextView to also go to the end. And also changed the width from match_parent to wrap_content.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="end">
<TextView
android:textSize="20dp"
android:id="#+id/number_ayat"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:gravity="center"
tools:text="10"/>
<TextView
android:layout_gravity="end|center_vertical"
android:gravity="end"
android:textAlignment="gravity"
android:id="#+id/isi_ayat"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="30dp"
tools:text="lorem ipsum dolo asd"/>
</LinearLayout>
EDIT I
I removed android:layout_marginRight="10dp" from android:id="#+id/number_ayat".
As you can see in the picture below. There is no more space between the two textviews.
This is the closest you can get without making the number's textview smaller.
EDIT II
I think I understood, if there are more lines the number must be after the last line.
Change android:gravity="end" to android:gravity="end|bottom" in
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="end">
I am trying to use a linear layout as a row for my recyclerView/adapter, basically my row has 3 elements: an image, a textView and a checkButton with some text.
What I want is the image occupying like 50% of the width plus 40 height, so I set the weight of the image to 2.
Next I need to have another 50% layout that has the other 2 elements, and I want at the top right of the image the textView and at bottom the checkbox.
I already implemented this before with relative layouts, but the content didn't adapt to different devices, so I tried the linear layout and the weight property.
So this is what I have at the moment:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:contentDescription="photo " />

android:id="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:textColor="#color/nephritis"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/plantCheck"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignStart="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_below="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
android:button="#drawable/customdrawablecheckbox"
android:textSize="10dp" />
</LinearLayout>
Here is the image of what I have at the moment:image
As I explained, I need the image to occupy the 50% width and the green text to be side on side with the photo at the right.
The checkbox must be below, any help??
Thanks
Try this,
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/plantPhoto"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:contentDescription="photo "
android:src="#drawable/placeholder" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView"
android:textColor="#color/colorBlack"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/plantCheck"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:text="CheckBox"
android:textSize="15dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
To me, it would have to be set with a Relative layout. Then for the elements to "adapt to different devices" you would need to set android:layout_width and height to wrap_content or fill_parent depending on what you want to achieve.
Set image weight to 50% which is .5, anything you add on that layout will be horizontal, so to solve that just add another layout at .5 weight and set it vertical.
You can try something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/plantPhoto"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:contentDescription="photo " />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.example.afcosta.inesctec.pt.android.Helpers.NexusBoldTextView
android:id="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/nephritis"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/plantCheck"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
android:button="#drawable/customdrawablecheckbox"
android:textSize="10dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
