How to right align widget in horizontal linear layout Android?
This is the code I am using and it is not working:
<?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="horizontal">
<TextView android:text="TextView" android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right">
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
Try to add empty View
inside horizontal LinearLayout
before element that you want to see right, e.g.:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
Do not change the gravity of the LinearLayout to "right" if you don't want everything to be to the right.
Try:
- Change TextView's width to
fill_parent
- Change TextView's gravity to
right
Code:
<TextView
android:text="TextView"
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right">
</TextView>
As a supplement to alcsan's answer, you can use Space
since API 14 (Android 4.0 ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH), document here.
Space is a lightweight View subclass that may be used to create gaps between components in general purpose layouts.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Space
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView"
android:gravity="right" />
</LinearLayout>
For apps that supporting API levels under 14, there is an android.support.v4.widget.Space
since Android Support Library r22.1.0.
With Linear Layout
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/select_car_book_tabbar"
android:gravity="right" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:src="@drawable/my_booking_icon" />
</LinearLayout>
with FrameLayout
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/select_car_book_tabbar">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|right"
android:src="@drawable/my_booking_icon" />
</FrameLayout>
with RelativeLayout
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/select_car_book_tabbar">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:src="@drawable/my_booking_icon" />
</RelativeLayout>
