Re: [android-developers] Re: Sliding Drawer question
Out of interest, what are the other reasons? I find the visual editor doesn't give an exact idea of the final layout (doesn't auto-scale properly, show custom views sometimes or show sliding drawers at all) but it helps get the basic framework up and running quickly On 12 Feb 2011 10:46, Indicator Veritatis mej1...@yahoo.com wrote: I'm not surprised the visual editors in ADT are so far behind.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Sliding Drawer question
Reminds me of trying to develop a web site with using JSF.. the visual editors suck at providing any sense of the actual layout and look and feel. Always better to do it in code and refresh the changes in the browser. On Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 4:45 AM, Cliff Davies cliff.dav...@gmail.comwrote: Out of interest, what are the other reasons?

RE: [android-developers] Re: Sliding Drawer question
Thank you, I will give this a try and see what happens. -Original Message- From: android-developers@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-develop...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of brucko Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2010 3:52 AM To: Android Developers Subject: [android-developers] Re: Sliding Drawer question Tommy, Whilst RelativeLayout is quite powerful, and as Mark stated earlier, is what you need for your sliding drawer - especially as you have other elements - you may need to be a little more careful in the order you declare your view elements. If you want your SlidingDrawer to go over the top of all of the other elements, then declare it last in your Relative Layout. Better still, as it appears you may not be used to RelativeLayout yet - just try dropping the SlidingDramer for now (Ctrl-c will comment out the rows in the XML Editor in Eclipse) - put it back in last in your relative layout when you have the rest of your layout where you want it. You need to declare your elements in the correct order. For example, you should declare tvStationName before TideLoadMessage if you want TideLoadMessage to obey android:layout_below=@+id/ tvStationName . I don't think you want to use android:layout_below=@+id/lvReport for your Sliding drawer if you want it to open over your lvReport - I think (not really sure on that). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
