  1. POHow to get buttons to display above WebView
    text
    copied!<p>I am aware that this question has been asked before, but I have tried every "solution" to the other questions, but I still have not been able to achieve what I am trying to do. I have searched and searched, and tried and tried. Please forgive me. I simply want to display my row of buttons above my WebView, so that it is consistent with the rest of the activities in my app (they all have the row of buttons at the top). It seems like I have tried every possible combination of layouts, but to no avail. It displays correctly in the Graphical Layout (Eclipse), but on the phone and emulator it only displays the WebView, fullscreen, no buttons.... Any help will be very much appreciated!</p> <p>Here's my xml:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" &gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/menu_panel"&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/bHomeMenu" android:layout_margin="-8dip" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="90dp" android:background="@drawable/menu_btn_hcu_light_blue" android:src="@drawable/icon_menu_home" android:adjustViewBounds="true" android:scaleType="centerInside" style="@style/ButtonText" android:textSize="13sp" android:text="Home" /&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/bItsMe247Menu" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/bHomeMenu" android:layout_margin="-8dip" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="90dp" android:background="@drawable/menu_btn_selected_hcu_light_blue" android:src="@drawable/icon_menu_login" android:adjustViewBounds="true" android:scaleType="centerInside" style="@style/ButtonText" android:textSize="13sp" android:text="It'sMe" /&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/bFindUsMenu" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/bItsMe247Menu" android:layout_margin="-8dip" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="90dp" android:background="@drawable/menu_btn_hcu_light_blue" android:src="@drawable/icon_menu_find_us" android:adjustViewBounds="true" android:scaleType="centerInside" style="@style/ButtonText" android:textSize="13sp" android:text="FindUs" /&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/bEmailMenu" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/bFindUsMenu" android:layout_margin="-8dip" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="90dp" android:background="@drawable/menu_btn_hcu_light_blue" android:src="@drawable/icon_menu_email" android:adjustViewBounds="true" android:scaleType="centerInside" style="@style/ButtonText" android:textSize="13sp" android:text="Email" /&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/bRatesMenu" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/bEmailMenu" android:layout_margin="-8dip" android:layout_width="65dp" android:layout_height="90dp" android:background="@drawable/menu_btn_hcu_light_blue" android:src="@drawable/icon_menu_rates" android:adjustViewBounds="true" android:scaleType="centerInside" style="@style/ButtonText" android:textSize="13sp" android:text="Rates" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/wvItsMe" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: Here's my java code, and a note below it:</p> <pre><code> package com.dummyapp.app; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.MotionEvent; import android.view.Window; import android.webkit.WebChromeClient; import android.webkit.WebView; import android.webkit.WebViewClient; import android.widget.Toast; import com.dummyapp.app.SimpleGestureFilter.SimpleGestureListener; public class ItsMe247 extends Activity implements SimpleGestureListener{ private SimpleGestureFilter detector; private WebView itsMeLogin; // ImageButton menuHome, menuFindUs, menuEmail, menuRates; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); //setContentView(R.layout.itsme247); // menuHome = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.bHomeMenu); // menuFindUs = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.bFindUsMenu); // menuEmail = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.bEmailMenu); // menuRates = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.bRatesMenu); detector = new SimpleGestureFilter(this,this); itsMeLogin = new WebView(this); Toast.makeText(this, "Just Swipe To Exit", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); itsMeLogin.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // JavaScript enabled getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS); // Show progress bar of page loading final Activity itsMeActivity = this; itsMeLogin.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() { public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress){ // Activities and WebViews measure progress with different scales. // The progress meter will automatically disappear when we reach 100% itsMeActivity.setProgress(progress * 100); } }); itsMeLogin.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){ public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl){ Toast.makeText(itsMeActivity, "Oh no!

However, whenever I UNcomment the buttons and their listeners, the app crashes when trying to enter this activity.</p>
