How can I add an icon before every ListView item text in an Android application?
Here is the current list_item xml that is called to populate the list:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:padding="5dip"
android:background="@color/darkblue"
/>
I attempted to add a ImageView before it, but it didn't show at all. Then I added a RelativeLayout around the entire thing and tried positioning them, but still it didn't show.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
You can use a Relative Layout, just add the property android:layout_toRightOf to your TextView::
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/myIcon"
android:layout_width="25px"
android:layout_height="25px"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:focusable="false"
android:padding="4px"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:padding="5dip"
android:background="@color/darkblue"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/myIcon"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Better way to do this is to use drawableLeft , drawableRight , drawableTop , drawableBottom tags:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:padding="5dip"
android:background="@color/darkblue"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/yourPicture"
/>
