[android-developers] Re: TextView at the bottom of a Layout, like a status bar of sorts
I wanted to follow up on this question. I got it working tonight by using RelativeLayout. The overall design is as such: RelativeLayout -- LinearLayout -- Fragment A -- Fragment B -- Fragment C -- /LinearLayout -- RelativeLayout (with android:layout_alignParentBottom=true) -- TextView -- /RelativeLayout /RelativeLayout -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 4:07 PM, Chris Stewart cstewart...@gmail.comwrote: I'm working on a Honeycomb app and I'd like to have a scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen.

Re: [android-developers] Re: TextView at the bottom of a Layout, like a status bar of sorts
Maybe it is just me, but what is the point of putting a LinearLayout inside a RelativeLayout? And for that matter, what is the point of having a RelativeLayout inside another RelativeLayout that contains only a single view? I don't know really know what the requirements of your app, but you should be able to achieve the same thing with just a single RelativeLayout and all your other fragments/views inside of that... One of the big advantages of RelativeLayout is that there is less need for nesting layouts...

Re: [android-developers] Re: TextView at the bottom of a Layout, like a status bar of sorts
The only point is that's what I've found to work, nothing more. Perhaps I'm not doing it correctly, but it's like pulling teeth trying to get layouts to work like I want them to, so when I find something that works I'm hard pressed to sit there for hours trying to optimize it 100%. -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 12:42 AM, Justin Anderson magouyaw...@gmail.comwrote: Maybe it is just me, but what is the point of putting a LinearLayout inside a RelativeLayout?
