So, this is my current LinearLayout
:
with the XML code:
<?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"
android:padding="8dp">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dp">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/crime_title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Crime Title" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/crime_date"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Crime date" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/crime_police"
android:layout_width="117dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:baselineAlignBottom="false"
android:src="@mipmap/handcuffs" />
</LinearLayout>
This is the closest I have gotten to my objective, which is to move the ImageView to the right-most in this LinearLayout. So that I can be able to create this following sample using a RecyclerView:
Is it possible to achieve this by using LinearLayout only? Or do I have to look into using other types of Layouts in addition to the LinearLayout which consists of Crime Title
and Crime date
?
Thanks in advance.
No need to change anything in your layout
Just Use android:layout_weight="1"
inside your second LinearLayout
it will work
Try this
<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"
android:padding="8dp">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dp">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/crime_title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Crime Title" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/crime_date"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Crime date" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/crime_police"
android:layout_width="117dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:baselineAlignBottom="false"
android:src="@drawable/ic_menu_send" />
</LinearLayout>
