Question

I think the solution will be quite obvious, but as long as I’m rookie in android forgive me 🙂

I want to place some picture on the right upper side of the view, and a textview, which will fit the rest of the view. Here’s what I’ve done:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/logo_in_listing"
            android:layout_width="100dip"
            android:layout_height="100dip"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_marginRight="11dip"
            android:layout_marginTop="11dip"
            android:background="@drawable/border_for_imageview"
            android:src="@drawable/facebook_logo" />

          <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/someString"
            android:id="@+id/textview1"
            android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/logo_in_listing"
            android:layout_margin="3dip"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Here’s what I get:

My questions:

1) How to make the textview fit also the lower part of imageview? I don’t want that space to be left unused.

2) As you see, I’ve used dips for placing ImageView. What would you recommend in this case? I mean, how to write in a way, that it will be same for all screen sizes? Or maybe dip is OK?

Answer 1

You have to use Spanned interface. Here’s a good example
