I'm designing a login layout like the image below on Android.
I can make it like this. The problem is that I'm hardcoding something like host EditText in that picture like android:layout_width="172dp"...
I'd like to give a percentage of the width for host EditText or postEditText. Is it possible to do that? I'm working on the code below, but it doesn't work well at all resolutions.
<TextView
android:id="@+id/host_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/home"
android:paddingLeft="15dp"
android:paddingTop="0dp"
android:text="host"
android:textColor="#a5d4e2"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textStyle="normal" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/port_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/home"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/host_input"
android:paddingTop="0dp"
android:text="port"
android:textColor="#a5d4e2"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textStyle="normal" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/host_input"
android:layout_width="172dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/host_label"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/port_input"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/host_label"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/host_input"
android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"
android:inputType="number" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/username_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/host_input"
android:paddingLeft="15dp"
android:paddingTop="15dp"
android:text="username"
android:textColor="#a5d4e2"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textStyle="normal" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/username_input"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/username_label"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/password_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/username_input"
android:paddingLeft="15dp"
android:paddingTop="15dp"
android:text="password"
android:textColor="#a5d4e2"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textStyle="normal" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/password_input"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/password_label"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/home"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="false"
android:paddingLeft="15dp"
android:paddingRight="15dp"
android:paddingTop="15dp"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:src="@drawable/home" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/login_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/password_input"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:text=" login "
android:textSize="18sp" >
</Button>
</RelativeLayout>
The android:layout_weight property seems to be looking for it. This property is used to give the value of the layout as a percentage. The example below gives 70% of the length of the left button and 30% of the length of the right button.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
android:text="left"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".70" />
<Button
android:text="right"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".30" />
</LinearLayout>
If you give the weight value, it works the same on any screen, and you can change Button to EditText and modify it as you want. The weight will work properly if the value of layout_width is zero or you do not set the size of the view. And you don't have to make the sum of the weights one, you can get the same result if you give the value of the first button 7 above and the value of the second button 3 above.
