Placing an item on the right in a linear layout in android

Question

I want to place the image to the right of the view. For this I use something like

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > ...some other elements <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageIcon" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="right" android:src="@drawable/image_icon" > </ImageView> </LinearLayout> ... </RelativeLayout> 

The above image puts the image somewhere in the center. How to ensure the correct alignment of the image, regardless of whether we are in portrait or landscape mode?

Thanx!

Answer 1

It seems to work. Two changes 1. use orientation = vertical, as suggested by Zortkun 2. Use wrap_content in layout_width.

 <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/settingsIcon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="right" android:src="@drawable/settings_icon" > </ImageView> </LinearLayout> 

Answer 2

The default orientation of the LinearLayout is horizontal. Make sure the orientation of the linear layout is set to Vertical , otherwise you cannot use the material horizontally.

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

You do not need Linearlayout if you use only one view inside Linringayout.

Anyway, here,

 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > //...some other elements <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="right"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageIcon" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="right" android:src="@drawable/image_icon" > </ImageView> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout>
