Use the include tag with an already present GridView

Question

I created a action bar in xml for use in all activities. I used the include tag for it.
One of my activities have just a GridView tag. you can see it's source below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/gv_level"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:background="@drawable/background_gradient"
    android:columnWidth="100dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:numColumns="auto_fit"
    android:stretchMode="columnWidth" >
</GridView>  

It doesn't have any problem but when I add the include tag or any other tag to this (similar below source)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

<include
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="0"
    layout="@layout/action_bar" />

<GridView
    android:id="@+id/gv_level"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:background="@drawable/background_gradient"
    android:columnWidth="100dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:numColumns="auto_fit"
    android:stretchMode="columnWidth" >
</GridView>

It doesn't give me an error but the GridView is hidden when the activity appears. Is there a solution for this problem?

Answer 1

You may want to either set the orientation of the LinearLayout to vertical so your included layout doesn't push the GridView outside of the screen on the right or you could use wrap_content for the included layout's width. Using the orientation change:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:orientation="vertical" >

<include
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="0"
    layout="@layout/action_bar" />
// ... rest of the layout
