About column width about tablefixheaders HOT 18 CLOSED

It can not and has an explanation. If you have a table of 1000 rows and 5 columns would be necessary to measure 5000 views.

Could be implemented, but the computation time makes it impractical.

from tablefixheaders.

How long will it take to implement as it will be really good if this feature is available?

from tablefixheaders.

I agree with BraisGabin that it would be totally impractical to adjust the column widths automatically, given the potentially large number of records in the table. This could slow down the display to a crawl with a detriment to the functionality of this fantastic data display tool.
A much better solution would be to allow users to manually adjust the width of each column, either through external settings, or by dragging left/right the right edge of the column header (similar to the feature implemented in Excel). I have seen it done in the Windows Mobile 6.5 table/grid application.

The implementation of this feature is not hard. It will not take a lot of time but it is not efficient at all. I think @MariuszGSL proposals may be a good choice.

If you keep wanting to implement it I can give you some clues.

from tablefixheaders.

I also think that @MariuszGSL proposal would be good, if you can give me some clues on how to implement it that would be great. Thanks.

from tablefixheaders.

I meant clues for implementing the "bad" version.

Anyway you only need to use Adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() and the Adapter.getWidth(int position) to implement the @MariuszGSL proposal.

from tablefixheaders.

And do I have to put that in the StyleTable class or somewhere in the TableFixHeaders library?

from tablefixheaders.

No need to touch the library for this. You have to control in some way the events on the edges. Can not think of what may be the best way to do this.

from tablefixheaders.

Ok, I will have a look around and see if I can come up with anything.

from tablefixheaders.

Open a new issue in this case, plase.

Ok, If I do come up with anything I will open a new issue, Thanks.

Hey, are you able to give me some clues on how to implement the "bad" version as discussed above please?

from tablefixheaders.

Of course. All the work is in the onMeasure. Line 477.

You must create all the adapter's views and call

view.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));

Then get the maximums and replace this information in the lines 490-497

from tablefixheaders.

I have entered the above method in the correct place, but I am not sure what to enter in lines 490-497? I have left those lines the same and the app runs but there is no horizontal scrolling, should I alter those lines and put the above method in?

from tablefixheaders.

you must remove those and fill the arrays widths and heights with the maximums.

from tablefixheaders.

This might be a really stupid question but what do you mean by maximums? Are you able to provide me with a example about filling the arrays widths and heights please?

from tablefixheaders.

I think you need to read the documentation about the custom views:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html The size and layout paragraphs are the more important.

You have to measure the views of each column. Choose the maximum onMeasureWidth() and put that value the corresponding position in the array widths.

Thanks very much for all your help, really appreciated.
