Alertdialog inflatter not showing all values

Question

Am using layout-inflatter to show a custom alertdialog. but when the Textview inside alertdialoge contanes a large value, its not showing..

when it contains a small value, its ok..

My java code...

 AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(Consultation.this);

            LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
            View dialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.alert_label_editor, null);
            dialogBuilder.setView(dialogView);

            TextView con=(TextView)dialogView.findViewById(R.id.textView29);
            con.setText("Consultation on "+item.getString(4));
            TextView des=(TextView)dialogView.findViewById(R.id.textView28);
            des.setText(item.getString(2));
            TextView pre=(TextView)dialogView.findViewById(R.id.textView31);
            pre.setText(item.getString(3));
            TextView fee=(TextView)dialogView.findViewById(R.id.textView32);
            fee.setText(item.getString(5));


            AlertDialog alertDialog = dialogBuilder.create();
            alertDialog.show();

My xml code for alert_label_editor...

Answer 1

Use scrollview inside it...

 <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

            <LinearLayout
                android:orientation="horizontal"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent">

                <TextView
                    android:text="Description"

                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:id="@+id/textView27"

                    android:id="@+id/textView31"
                    android:layout_weight="1" />

Answer 2

use this after alertDialog,show()

alertDialog.show();
alertDialog.getWindow().setLayout(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

if above method not worked then try this

WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
lp.copyFrom(dialog.getWindow().getAttributes());
lp.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
lp.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
alertDialog.show();
alertDialog.getWindow().setAttributes(lp);

Tom

you can put all your view in scrollview..

like this

<Scrollview
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

  <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

            <TextView 1/>

            <TextView 2/>
        </LinearLayout>

        <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

            <TextView 1/>

            <TextView 2/>
        </LinearLayout>
           ..
           ..
           ..
          //add layout as your requirements

    </LinearLayout>    
 </Scrollview>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    android:gravity="center">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:background="#FFFFFF"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="2"
            android:gravity="right"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/text_head"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"

                    >

                </WebView>
            </ScrollView>

            <View
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="1dp"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="3dp"
                android:background="#B2B2B2"
                android:scrollY="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" />

        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageCloseBtn"
        android:layout_width="30dp"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:backgroundTint="@color/black"
        android:src="@drawable/sky_circle" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/myImageViewText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/imageCloseBtn"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/imageCloseBtn"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/imageCloseBtn"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/imageCloseBtn"
        android:layout_margin="1dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="X"
        android:textSize="20dp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textColor="#000000" />
</RelativeLayout>

please check this sample code and follow the sequence of layouts use and use of wrap content as well.
