[Q] Newbie question about layouts

Hello,
Im trying to configure my Activity skin like the image
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How can I do it? If i switch the order my code
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FA5858"/>
</LinearLayout>
works but in the initial order the imageview fills the whole screen.
Thanks in advance

Time to learn to love, (and hate), RelativeLayout
edit linky:

You can stick with LinearLayout and change the android:layout_weight parameter of both the ImageView and the Button.
But as alostpacket said, RelativeLayout is the best for this type of layout.

yep.. relative layout will save you
linear layouts are not good for having dead space or for having the size or content of something change while having its position and size stay the same. since you want your button to always be at the bottom of your layout and what ever is inbetween just fillin whats left relative layout is the most useful and powerful way to do that.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
<RelativeLayout ...>
<TextView
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:id="@+id/text1"
... />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text2"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/text1"
... />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text3"
android:layout_below="@id/text2"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/text1"
... />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text4"
android:layout_below="@id/text3"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/text1"
... />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text5"
android:layout_below="@id/text4"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/text1"
... />
</RelativeLayout>
If you want the screen to be devided into two halfs, then have a look at TableLayout and its android:stretchColums attribute.
If you want the height of each view to be exactly a quarter of the screen height, have a look at LinearLayout and android:weight.

Deep linking not working

I have been trying to make this work for a day now and I have no idea what is the problem.
I am making a Reddit app for a uni project and after Reddit authorizes the app it redirects to another URL which is then supposed to open my app activity so I can collect the data. Only it doesn't.
I have tried multiple http and https URLs, including "http(s)://www.example.com" which is shown in the Android documentation, and it still doesn't want to open the activity.
The redirect URL is https://mpivchev.github.io/Reddit-App/redirect as stated here in the Reddit app settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What is the problem?
Intent filter:
Code:
<activity android:name=".LoginActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:host="mpivchev.github.io"
android:scheme="https"
android:pathPrefix="/Reddit-App/redirect" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
WebView stays on the redirect page instead of returning back to the app:
If you would like to clone the project, this is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/mpivchev/Reddit-App
