Right now I have an AppBarLayout like this
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/toolbar_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
app:elevation="0dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="@style/ActionBarTheme_Dark"
app:contentInsetStart="@dimen/dimen_medium_margin"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/pagination_bubble_container"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="6dp">
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>
I want the pagination_bubble_container
to be ABSOLUTE center of the screen, and completely ignore the toolbar
object. I want it to be vertically centered AND horizonallty centered. Right now, the pagination container is just slightly to the right of center due to the toolbar object.
A linear layout stacks views in a row, either horizontally or vertically. Using a constraint Layout or Relative Layout can fix this.
Then you can set the constraints to place the pagination_bubble_container
and toolbar
where you want them.
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/toolbar_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
app:elevation="0dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="@style/ActionBarTheme_Dark"
app:contentInsetStart="@dimen/dimen_medium_margin"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:layout_marginStart="0dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/pagination_bubble_container"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="6dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="0dp">
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>
If you use a RelativeLayout as below you can achieve it
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/toolbar_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
app:elevation="0dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="@style/ActionBarTheme_Dark"
app:contentInsetStart="@dimen/dimen_medium_margin"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/pagination_bubble_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="6dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:orientation="horizontal"></LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>
As you want pagination_bubble_container
to be centered to the screen, you should get it out of the AppBarLayout
, as the AppBarLayout
height should be limited to its content, and obviously to the toolbar height.
Therefore here I wrapped both the AppBarLayout
& the LinearLayout
of the pagination_bubble_container
into a ConstraintLayout
, then you can add the four direction constraints to center the pagination_bubble_container
to the screen.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/toolbar_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
app:elevation="0dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="@style/ActionBarTheme_Dark"
app:contentInsetStart="@dimen/dimen_medium_margin"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin" />
</LinearLayout>
</com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/pagination_bubble_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="6dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"></LinearLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Nesting LinearLayout
s is never a good practice, because of all the redraws that end up happening to accommodate the changing constraints.
I recommend you utilize a ConstraintLayout
at the very least as the outer container layout, which should also give you a lot more freedom into arranging the insides of it. Eg
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/toolbar_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
app:elevation="0dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<ConstarintLayout
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="@style/ActionBarTheme_Dark"
app:contentInsetStart="@dimen/dimen_medium_margin"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/pagination_bubble_container"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="6dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
</LinearLayout>
</ConstraintLayout>
