如何将视图放置在TextView的右侧

Question

I would like to place a TextView and another View next to it. Like this:

|                             |
|[TextView][View]             |
|                             |

The TextView might have a long text. In that case, I would like to use ellipsis so the View is not pushed out of the screen (or whatever layout contains them) nor deformed.

|                             |
|[TextView with long...][View]|
|                             |

So I want the View to be next to TextView while the TextView takes as much space as needed (and no more than needed) without pushing the View out of the screen/container when the text is too long (in that case, I'd like to cut the text with ellipsis).

How could I do that?

I was thinking of calculating the positions and sizes of the views but seems a bit complicated. Maybe there's some simpler solution.

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can use an horizontal LinearLayout with width math_parent , which contains two children. The left TextView will have 0dp of width and weight 1, the View will have wrap_content for the width. For the dots at the end you can use android:ellipsize

Answer 2

You can use a LinearLayout with horizontal orientation as blackbelt suggested, but setting its width to wrap_content

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:text="unknown sized view" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="fixed sized view"/>
</LinearLayout>

Answer 3

In the parent layout of TextView and View, set layout_weightsum = 3.

In TextView, set layout_weight=2 and in View, set layout_weight=1.

Irrespective of the length of the text in textview, view and textview will be rendered properly.

Answer 4

根据developer.android.com上的RelativeLayout.LayoutParams ，可以将RelativeLayout与android:layout_toRightOf ，这与您一直在寻找的东西完全相同。

Answer 5

you could try putting both views inside a horizontal LinearLayout and setting android:maxWidth for the TextView, that way the View will remain on the right side of the TextView when it's short

|[TextView short][View]_______|

, and when it's long, the TextView will only expand as much as you set its maximum width.

|[TextView with long t...][View]|
