  1. POAndroid Question: Working With TableView/Text Under Icon
    text
    copied!<p>I'm looking to make a basic launcher for an application (basically a home screen that launches other activities). Using an absolute layout, I was able to come up with a rough idea of what I'm looking for. All of the "TextView" fields would be replaced with the name of the activity to be launched.</p> <p>But I don't want to use an absolute layout, to avoid the obvious problems. I read on the forums that I could use a TableView, and each TableRow would add a row, and each ButtonImage would essentially add a column. The problem with that is I cannot seem to figure out how to get a TextView to appear underneath each image button, since that essentially inserts a new column into the table (so the image and text appear side-by-side instead of text under image).</p> <p>Attached is my current XML for the example layout in absolute form. Any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated. :)</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;AbsoluteLayout android:id="@+id/widget39" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" &gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/news" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/news" android:layout_x="87px" android:layout_y="100px" &gt; &lt;/ImageButton&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/phone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/phonebook" android:layout_x="145px" android:layout_y="100px" &gt; &lt;/ImageButton&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/message" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/message" android:layout_x="203px" android:layout_y="100px" &gt; &lt;/ImageButton&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/calendar" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/planner" android:layout_x="86px" android:layout_y="179px" &gt; &lt;/ImageButton&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/help" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/panic" android:layout_x="145px" android:layout_y="180px" &gt; &lt;/ImageButton&gt; &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/exit" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/exit" android:layout_x="205px" android:layout_y="180px" &gt; &lt;/ImageButton&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/widget47" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="TextView" android:layout_x="80px" android:layout_y="146px" &gt; &lt;/TextView&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/widget48" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="TextView" android:layout_x="142px" android:layout_y="147px" &gt; &lt;/TextView&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/widget49" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="TextView" android:layout_x="201px" android:layout_y="147px" &gt; &lt;/TextView&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/widget50" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="TextView" android:layout_x="79px" android:layout_y="227px" &gt; &lt;/TextView&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/widget51" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="TextView" android:layout_x="141px" android:layout_y="228px" &gt; &lt;/TextView&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/widget52" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="20px" android:text="TextView" android:layout_x="203px" android:layout_y="228px" &gt; &lt;/TextView&gt; &lt;/AbsoluteLayout&gt; </code></pre>
