I have designed a splash screen in Adobe XD as shown: enter image description here
Now when I exported the parts of the image to android studio, I was unable to make all the images stick to the bottom as in XD. enter image description here
Can someone tell me how I would go about doing that and would be the best ViewGroup for such task?
Here is my XML file:
<?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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/linearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/gradient"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="@drawable/group_1"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>
It can be done with either ViewGroup
. But the problem is not the the view group - the problem is that you have a single image for the whole content - it is bad practice.
There should be at least 2 images - one for the background and the other is for the content.
It is due to fragmentation issue regarding device screens - there too many different resolution, aspect ratios and dpis to make the single image work properly on them all.
I will show you an example based on your UI with a background and logo image with small images below logo. You just need to separate it into two files - background could be jpg but logo must be png with transparency. In case you will do it - here is how your layout should look like.
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/white"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/background"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="@drawable/bg" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:padding="24dp"
android:src="@drawable/logo" />
</FrameLayout>
You may want to experiment with android:padding
and android:scaleType
to achieve the best result.
Changed android:layout_height="match_parent"
to android:layout_height="wrap_content"
- it will work better this way
Hope it helps.
