Question

When I execute my android application it works fine, except the view will not fill up the screen. I’m using the following xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    > 
    <com.project.name.SplashView
          android:id="@+id/splashView" 
          android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
          android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    /> 
</LinearLayout>

I have a custom view defined that extends the regular view and I’m overwriting the onDraw method to display a splash screen. In code I’m setting the layout with a simple call:

setContentView(R.layout.splash);

I’m not going to post my onDraw method because it has a bunch of animation code. However, I’ve tested the view bounds by simply whiting out the background of the canvas using this function (so I know its not filling the screen):

private void drawBackground(Canvas c) 
{
    Paint p = new Paint();
    p.setColor(Color.WHITE);
    c.drawRect(0, 0, c.getWidth(), c.getHeight(), p);
}

Anyone with any ideas?

I managed to fix the problem by making sure the minSDKVersion was set to at least 8.
