Resize All Child Views When Resizing GridLayout

Nathan Sokalski 4,126

I have a simple GridLayout with several child View(s). I need the widths & heights of the child View(s), as well as any of their attributes (such as font size, margin, padding, etc.), to be relative to the width/height of the GridLayout. Right now, all child View(s), as well as the GridLayout itself, have fixed widths & heights to maintain these ratio. However, the GridLayout will be dynamically resized depending on the layout of the page, and I want the GridLayout AND it's children to be resized. This obviously does not happen when the GridLayout has a fixed size. How can I dynamically resize the GridLayout AND it's children?

Here is the XML for the View (in this case a GridLayout) I wish to resize, along with a screenshot from the Visual Studio 2022 Designer:

<GridLayout android:layout_width="91dp" android:layout_height="59dp" android:layout_column="0" android:layout_row="0" android:columnCount="2" android:rowCount="2" android:background="@drawable/percentagesbackground" android:backgroundTint="@color/Black">
	<TextView android:layout_width="40dp" android:layout_height="19dp" android:layout_column="0" android:layout_row="0"
		style="@style/PercentagesTextViewStyle" android:backgroundTint="@color/IllusionRed"
		android:layout_marginLeft="0dp" android:layout_marginTop="0dp" android:layout_marginRight="2dp" android:layout_marginBottom="2dp"
		android:layout_gravity="bottom|right" android:layout_columnWeight="1" android:layout_rowWeight="1" tools:text="15%"/>
	<TextView android:layout_width="40dp" android:layout_height="19dp" android:layout_column="1" android:layout_row="0"
		style="@style/PercentagesTextViewStyle" android:backgroundTint="@color/IllusionYellow"
		android:layout_marginLeft="2dp" android:layout_marginTop="0dp" android:layout_marginRight="0dp" android:layout_marginBottom="2dp"
		android:layout_gravity="bottom|left" android:layout_columnWeight="1" android:layout_rowWeight="1" tools:text="17%"/>
	<TextView android:layout_width="40dp" android:layout_height="19dp" android:layout_column="0" android:layout_row="1"
		style="@style/PercentagesTextViewStyle" android:backgroundTint="@color/IllusionGreen"
		android:layout_marginLeft="0dp" android:layout_marginTop="2dp" android:layout_marginRight="2dp" android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
		android:layout_gravity="top|right" android:layout_columnWeight="1" android:layout_rowWeight="1" tools:text="24%"/>
	<TextView android:layout_width="40dp" android:layout_height="19dp" android:layout_column="1" android:layout_row="1"
		style="@style/PercentagesTextViewStyle" android:backgroundTint="@color/IllusionBlue"
		android:layout_marginLeft="2dp" android:layout_marginTop="2dp" android:layout_marginRight="0dp" android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
		android:layout_gravity="top|left" android:layout_columnWeight="1" android:layout_rowWeight="1" tools:text="30%"/>
</GridLayout>

Do you mean to know how to change the size of the GridLayout and the layout scale of the internal controls while the program is running?

If not, could you please provide more information about your expected behavior with the program?

Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
