android layout margins with percentage
android, android-linearlayout
Solution
You can have invisible `View`s in your `LinearLayout`s as spacers and use the `layout_weight` mechanism to assign them relative size.
Example:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<Thumbnail
android:id="@+id/thumb1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="4" />
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:visibility="invisible"/>
<Thumbnail
android:id="@+id/thumb2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="4" />
</LinearLayout>
Problem
I want to set margins by percentage.. I have 4 imageviews in a linearlayout and want to set default left,right,top,bottom margins that keep same percentage for each screen size. is it possible ? here is a demo what i want.. And here is what i've tried and doesn't work ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:weightSum="10" > <Thumbnail android:id="@+id/thumb1" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="4" /> <Thumbnail android:id="@+id/thumb2" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="4" /> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:weightSum="10" > <Thumbnail android:id="@+id/thumb3" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="4" > </Thumbnail> <Thumbnail android:id="@+id/thumb4" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="4" /> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> ``` Thanks for your help
