Why not extend android.widget.RelativeLayout and implement your own onDraw 
method?

[android-developers] Re: Use of shapes for background

2012-08-29 Thread Pau Rodríguez Coloma 
 

Thanks to all for your help. The "problem" (but not a critical problem) is 
that if I use a png file for the background I need at least 4 files for 
ldpi, mdpi, hdpi and xhdpi in order to have the same separation between 
lines. And also I think that if I use shapes instead of png I could have 
better performance with quality and RAM (but I'm not sure about it, it's 
only an idea that I want to check).

I was trying to make a shape with the dark rectangle and only one light 
line from bottom-left corner to top-right corner, with the idea to use this 
shape in a bitmap xml drawable resource with tileMode=repeat. But the 
problem with this approach is that when I use this like the background of 
the RelativeLayout it fills all the space and no makes repetitions. I was 
testing with use of width and height but the result is the same.

Does anyone have a idea? At the moment this is not only a necessity it is 
also a personal challenge.

Thanks in advance.

2012-08-28 Thread Justin Anderson 
I am not sure you can do that exact background with shapes defined in XML.
You can look here to see the full documentation on defining drawables in
XML:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html

Also, I have a blog post that covers some of these... This is the first of
a three-part blog post I plan on doing to cover defining drawables in xml:

http://android-dev-tips-and-tricks.blogspot.com/2012/08/xml-drawables-part-i.html

 Hi,

  I'm want to set the background of a RelativeLayout like the attached
 png. For the moment I'm using a bitmap definition xml named
 "background_dark.xml" like:


 

 >>> xmlns:android="http://schemas.**android.com/apk/res/android
 "

 android:src="@drawable/fondo_**oscuro"

 android:tileMode="repeat">

 


 And using it as the background drawable in my RelativeLayout:


 >>>
 android:layout_width="fill_**parent"

 android:layout_height="fill_**parent"

 android:layout_below="@+id/**headerLayout"

 android:background="@drawable/**background_dark">

 


 But I want to make the same effect without using the png file, i.e.
 using only shapes and layer-list. The number of lines has to be different
 depending of the screen size, only the separation between lines are
 determinated.


 Does anyone know how can I do this?


 Thanks in advance.
