Android : Inflate() Ignoring Utilizing Root Layout Width/height Defined In Style Sheets. Binary Xml Error

I'm working on a project, and I'm converting the GUI over to Style sheets. I use a layout, and then a landscape/portrait set of style sheets. I use an inflator to inflate the lay

Solution 1:

I came across this question when searching for why my TextView was not properly inflating the xml parameters. Unlike the author's solution, I had to use the name of the parent LinearLayout that I was adding my TextView to.

TextViewmyTextView= (TextView) myInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_textview_xml, myLinearLayout, false);

This video was helpful in solving the problem:

Solution 2:

Ok,

So I've not gotten any responses, here is my work around:

Change this:

myView = (LinearLayout) LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.bearing_layout, parentView, false);

To this:

myView = (LinearLayout) LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.bearing_layout, null, false);

This will properly load your resources the FIRST TIME. Note: This WILL not detect layout changes for your lowest level view on orientation changes, though all subsequent view should work fine. To handle this we add a helper function:

genLayoutParams(yourView);

privatevoidgenLayoutParams(View reuse) { // apply whatever layout parameters you see fit, these are just examples.if (activity.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == activity.getResources().getConfiguration().ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
        reuse.setLayoutParams(newViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                        ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

    }
    else {
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 13) {
            reuse.setLayoutParams(newViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                    250));
        }

        else{
            reuse.setLayoutParams(newViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                    300));
        }
    }
}

Hope that saves somone some frustration.
