JarCastingAndroid flow layout
Introduction
Extended linear layout that wrap its content when there is no place in the current line.
Demonstration
Orientation: HORIZONTAL, Gravity: FILL, LayoutDirection: LTR
Orientation: HORIZONTAL, Gravity: RIGHT & BOTTOM, LayoutDirection: RTL
Orientation: VERTICAL, Gravity: CENTER, LayoutDirection: LTR
Debug is switched off:
Installation and usage
Take from maven repository (http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Corg.apmem.tools, http://mvnrepository.com/search.html?query=org.apmem.tools) or add FlowLayout and other components to your solution
Add it as dependency in Gradle as:
compile 'org.apmem.tools:layouts:1.10@aar'
Or maven
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apmem.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>layouts</artifactId>
<version>1.10</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Add the following xml code into your layout/something.xml:
<org.apmem.tools.layouts.FlowLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
</org.apmem.tools.layouts.FlowLayout>
To change default direction use the following code
android:orientation="vertical"
To change layout direction use the following code
xmlns:f="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/your.namespace"
f:layoutDirection="rtl"
Android gravity now supported (in combination with elements weight):
f:weightDefault="1.0"
android:gravity="fill"
To override default spacing between elements use default android margins in the child View element:
android:layout_marginTop="32dip"
android:layout_marginRight="32dip"
Also if you need to break line before some object even if there is enough space for it in the previous line - use the following LayoutParameter in the child view element:
f:layout_newLine="true"
Detailed parameters
Layout parameters:
* android:orientation - line direction. Use one of the following values:
* horizontal - line will be in horizontal direction, linebreak will create new line
* vertical - line will be in vertical direction, linebreak will create new column
* android:gravity - standard android gravity supported
* debugDraw - draw debug information
* weightDefault - default weight value for child elements. Used to fill line in case of Gravity.FILL_HORIZONTAL | Gravity.FILL_VERTICAL
* layoutDirection - direction of inner child elements:
* ltr - left to right direction
* rtl - right to left direction
Child layout parameters:
* android:layout_margin* - override default spacings
* android:layout_gravity - standard android gravity supported
* layout_weight - weight of the element. If not specified "layout.defaultWight" is used.
* layout_newLine - break line before current element even if there is enough place in the current line.
