How to change ListView height dynamically in Android?
This piece of code helped me to achieve dynamic listview height.
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.View.MeasureSpec;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class Utility {
public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter == null) {
// pre-condition
return;
}
int totalHeight = 0;
int desiredWidth = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(listView.getWidth(), MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
listItem.measure(desiredWidth, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
}
}
In the main Activity use this Utility class to change the listview height.
phraseListView=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.phrase_listview);
phraseAdapter=new PhraseListAdapter(this);
phraseListView.setAdapter(phraseAdapter);
Utility.setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(phraseListView);
Taken from here
for change height and width dynamically so, try this
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams mParam = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams((int)(width),(int)(height);
listView.setLayoutParams(mParam);
you can also use LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT or LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT instead of height & width
You can use below method to set the height of listview programmatically as per your items:
<ListView
android:id="@+id/lvMenu"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ffffff"
/>
Method used for setting height of listview:
public static boolean setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter != null) {
int numberOfItems = listAdapter.getCount();
// Get total height of all items.
int totalItemsHeight = 0;
for (int itemPos = 0; itemPos < numberOfItems; itemPos++) {
View item = listAdapter.getView(itemPos, null, listView);
float px = 500 * (listView.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
item.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec((int)px, View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST), View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
totalItemsHeight += item.getMeasuredHeight();
}
// Get total height of all item dividers.
int totalDividersHeight = listView.getDividerHeight() *
(numberOfItems - 1);
// Get padding
int totalPadding = listView.getPaddingTop() + listView.getPaddingBottom();
// Set list height.
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalItemsHeight + totalDividersHeight + totalPadding;
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Then set it like below code:
MenuAdapter menuAdapter = new MenuAdapter(context, R.layout.menu_item);
lvMenu.setAdapter(menuAdapter);
setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(lvMenu);
Hope it will help you.
