Android - Layout with images


I've been working on this for few days but I couldn't get the layout I need. I would like to have a layout similar to the image below. Can anyone guide me with this ? What kind of layout and view should I use ?



enter image description here



Thanks :)

  1. Ive added some code generated by drawing what you want in the layout editor in eclipse.

    Looks like this



    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >



    <LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="0.81" >


    <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView2"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1.00"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />


    <LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout3"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:orientation="vertical" >


    <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/ImageView02"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1.00"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />


    <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/ImageView01"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1.00"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

    <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView3"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1.00"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

    </LinearLayout>

    </LinearLayout>


    <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

    </LinearLayout>

    </LinearLayout>

  2. you could use linear layout. in first row you can add another two linear layout with orizontal orientation. so: linear layout container ( orientation orizontal). in first row add two linear layout with vertical orientation. first coloumn image1, second coloumn linear layout horizontal orientation ( every row image2,3,4). return to container, on the second row add image 5 :)

  3. Use TableLayout for your views.

  4. i am giving only prototype of layout may be it will help you
    look at that

    <linearLayout main android;orientation="vertical">
    <linearlayout "sub1" android;orientation="horizontal">
    <linearlayout android:layout_wight="1" "take first lesthand side image in it" >
    <linearlayout android:layout_wight="1" "sub2" android:orientation="vertical" >
    "take three linearlayout and set three images in that take a weight as 1 for all three linearlayout "
    <close sub2 linear layout>
    <close sub1 linear layout>


    take another linear layout and set last bottom image in it

  5. Try this:

    <!-- Root layout -->
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <!-- Layout for img1,2,3,4 -->
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/img1234
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal">
    <!-- ImageView for img1 -->
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/img234"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <!-- ImageView for img2 -->
    <!-- ImageView for img3 -->
    <!-- ImageView for img4 -->
    </LinearLayout>

    </LinearLayout>
    <!-- Here should be ImageView for img5. Either use weight (to ensure proportions)
    or set an absolute height in dp -->
    </LinearLayout>


    Excuse me for possible typos.
