    text
    copied!<p>While playing around with the Gallery I've got another question (this probably should be simpler).</p> <p>I'm trying to show a view, lying in front of the Gallery, probably hiding it partially. Like a message dialog (Toast).</p> <p>In order to do so, I'm using a FrameLayout with a Gallery in the back, and ImageView with a transparent src in the front. When a dialog should be shown, I'm setting the src to the needed drawable through "sendImage".</p> <p>The problem is, as I assume, that the gallery/list items (that are added dynamically upon "onRequestListItem -> sendListItem") have more recent z-Order (as they have been added later), so the dialog is shown between the background of the Gallery and the transparent icons, representing the list items.</p> <p>Maybe someone will have an idea, how to avoid this situation?</p> <p>I am not aware of any way of adding views manually to the layout on the SmartWatch, or changing their zOrder through "bringToFront".</p> <p>Here is the source code:</p> <p><strong>gallery.xml</strong></p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" &gt; &lt;Gallery android:id="@+id/gallery" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /&gt; &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/toast" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/toast_dialog_message" /&gt; &lt;/FrameLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>gallery_item.xml</strong></p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" &gt; &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/item_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginTop="20px" android:src="@drawable/item_icon" /&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>GalleryControlExtension.java</strong></p> <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>sendImage(R.id.spritz_image, drawableResourceId); </code></pre> <p>P.S. In the emulator it works as expected: toast lies over the item_icon ...</p>
