Android RelativeLayout programmatically Set "centerInParent"
I have a RelativeLayout like this:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dip">
<Button
android:id="@+id/negativeButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20dip"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:background="@drawable/black_menu_button"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/positiveButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20dip"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:background="@drawable/blue_menu_button"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
I want to be able to programatically set for positiveButton
the same effect as:
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
How can I make this programatically ?
Solution 1:
Completely untested, but this should work:
View positiveButton = findViewById(R.id.positiveButton);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams =
(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams)positiveButton.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
positiveButton.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
add android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
inside your activity in your manifest
Solution 2:
Just to add another flavor from the Reuben response, I use it like this to add or remove this rule according to a condition:
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams =
(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) holder.txtGuestName.getLayoutParams();
if (SOMETHING_THAT_WOULD_LIKE_YOU_TO_CHECK) {
// if true center text:
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);
holder.txtGuestName.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
} else {
// if false remove center:
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT, 0);
holder.txtGuestName.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
}
