Hmm, well I could've sworn I tried this before but I seem to have
fixed it. All the parents of my ImageView are set to wrap_content and
this is how I have my ImageView:
<ImageView android:id="@+id/image_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:maxWidth="900px"
android:maxHeight="369px" android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
But now I have a different problem. We have a semi-transparent
overlay over the bottom of the image that shows the caption and photo
credits. I'm doing this with a LinearLayout that's a sibling of the
ImageView above (both are children of a RelativeLayout). Here's how
that's declared:
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/caption_area"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#41000000" android:layout_alignBottom="@id/
image_view"
android:layout_alignLeft="@id/image_view"
android:layout_alignRight="@id/image_view"
android:orientation="vertical" android:visibility="gone"
android:gravity="center_vertical" android:padding="8px"
android:minWidth="300px">
<TextView android:id="@+id/caption"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#ffffffff"
android:textSize="12px" android:textStyle="bold"
android:visibility="gone" />
<TextView android:id="@+id/credit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#ffffffff"
android:textSize="11px" android:textStyle="italic"
android:visibility="gone" />
</LinearLayout>
As you can see, it's set to alignLeft and alignRight of my ImageView
so it takes up the full width. However, in a few rare cases we have
very skinny images and the caption area ends up looking very
squished. That's why I added the minWidth of 300px but it doesn't
seem to respect it. Obviously I'm trying to tell Android to just
magically figure out which one takes precedence but I can't think of
another way to do it. So to sum up, I'd like my overlay to be the
same width as the image, unless it's less than 300px. In that case,
just keep it 300px. Is something like this possible?
