I am currently learning some techniques in Android and I would like to add TextViews via button press (via Java) into the app (View). But before they get added through code I want to attach to each TextView
a self made preconfigurartion style from "res/values/styles.xml". That is the main idea so far.
Basically I would like to know how to configure my TextViews (in styles.xml) and the given Layout (e.g. main_activity.xml) in the XML file of an Activity in such a way so they look like in this picture:
So the goal is to preconfigure the Layout and TextView in such a way, that I only have to add the TextViews one after another so that they align themselfes in the way like in the picture.
What do I have to do exactly in order to achieve this?
// main_activity.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
...>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView style="@style/AddedTextView" />
</RelativeLayout>
...
<Button
android:id="@ id/btn_add"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
</LinearLayout>
// res/values/styles.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="AddedTextView" parent="Widget.AppCompat.TextView">
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:background">@drawable/custom_textview_design</item>
<item name="android:text">TestTV</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/common_text_color</item>
<item name="android:textSize">7pt</item>
<item name="android:layout_alignParentLeft">true</item>
</style>
</resources>
CodePudding user response:
You can apply the style programmatically using a ContextThemeWrapper
:
val textView = TextView(ContextThemeWrapper(this, R.style.AddedTextView))
And to add TextView
s connected to one another and wrap them vertically, you can use the Google's
