I have created a custom RatingBar as described in one of the tutorials given here on stack-overflow and it's looking great, the problem is with the centering of the image. here is what I've got:
As you can see the TextView is centered vertically in the LinearLayout, but the RatingBar is at the top of it. Here is my xml code of this image:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:foregroundGravity="center" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="320dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
<RatingBar
android:id="@+id/ratingBar1"
style="@style/starsRatingBar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:numStars="5"
android:rating="2.3"
android:stepSize="1" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Here is the code of the styling:
<style name="starsRatingBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.RatingBar">
<item name="android:progressDrawable">@drawable/star_ratingbar_full</item>
<item name="android:minHeight">36dip</item>
<item name="android:maxHeight">36dip</item>
</style>
Any ideas in the RatingBar would be apprisiated!
THANKS
Ok, I think I've got it.
The key issue is the ScrollView
: it automatically makes things compact, unless you specifically tell it otherwise. In the scroll view, set
android:fillViewport="true"
to make it use the space available.
