What is the proper way to override onLayout method in a custom layout extending the RelativeLayout? I'm trying to place all views in sort of a table. The idea is to fill one row with ImageViews until it's full and then continue in the new row.
@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
super.onLayout(changed, l, t, r, b);
int idOfViewToTheLeft = 1;
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(getContext(),);
ImageView bookmark;
for(int counter = 1; counter < getChildCount(); counter++) {
bookmark = (ImageView) findViewById(counter);
if(counter > 1) {
if(this.getWidth() > (bookmark.getLeft() + bookmark.getWidth())) {
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, bookmark.getId() - 1);
} else {
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, idOfViewToTheLeft);
idOfViewToTheLeft = bookmark.getId();
}
}
bookmark.setScaleType(ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
}
}
}
I explain how to write custom layouts (and in particular a FlowLayout, which is what you want to do it seems like) in this presentation
