I made my own layout that does what I want, but it is quite limited at the moment. Comments and improvement suggestions are of course welcome.
The activity:
package se.fnord.xmms2.predicate;
import se.fnord.android.layout.PredicateLayout;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Predicate extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
PredicateLayout l = new PredicateLayout(this);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
TextView t = new TextView(this);
t.setText("Hello");
t.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
t.setSingleLine(true);
l.addView(t, new PredicateLayout.LayoutParams(2, 0));
}
setContentView(l);
}
}
Or in an XML layout:
<se.fnord.android.layout.PredicateLayout
android:id="@+id/predicate_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
And the Layout:
package se.fnord.android.layout;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
/**
* ViewGroup that arranges child views in a similar way to text, with them laid
* out one line at a time and "wrapping" to the next line as needed.

public class PredicateLayout extends ViewGroup {
private int line_height;
public PredicateLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public PredicateLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){
super(context, attrs);
}
@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
assert(MeasureSpec.getMode(widthMeasureSpec) != MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
final int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
// The next line is WRONG!!! Doesn't take into account requested MeasureSpec mode!
int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec) - getPaddingTop() - getPaddingBottom();
final int count = getChildCount();
int line_height = 0;
int xpos = getPaddingLeft();
int ypos = getPaddingTop();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
final View child = getChildAt(i);
if (child.getVisibility() != GONE) {
final LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
child.measure(
MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(width, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST),
MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(height, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
final int childw = child.getMeasuredWidth();
line_height = Math.max(line_height, child.getMeasuredHeight() + lp.height);
if (xpos + childw > width) {
xpos = getPaddingLeft();
ypos += line_height;
}
xpos += childw + lp.width;
}
}
this.line_height = line_height;
if (MeasureSpec.getMode(heightMeasureSpec) == MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED){
height = ypos + line_height;
} else if (MeasureSpec.getMode(heightMeasureSpec) == MeasureSpec.AT_MOST){
if (ypos + line_height < height){
height = ypos + line_height;
}
}
setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}
@Override
protected LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams() {
return new LayoutParams(1, 1); // default of 1px spacing
}
@Override
protected boolean checkLayoutParams(LayoutParams p) {
return (p instanceof LayoutParams);
}
@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
final int count = getChildCount();
final int width = r - l;
int xpos = getPaddingLeft();
int ypos = getPaddingTop();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
final View child = getChildAt(i);
if (child.getVisibility() != GONE) {
final int childw = child.getMeasuredWidth();
final int childh = child.getMeasuredHeight();
final LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
if (xpos + childw > width) {
xpos = getPaddingLeft();
ypos += line_height;
}
child.layout(xpos, ypos, xpos + childw, ypos + childh);
xpos += childw + lp.width;
}
}
}
}
With the result:
Create QVBoxLayout, then add two QHBoxLayouts to it. In top QHBoxLayout add labels, in bottom one add stretch, button, stretch.
#include <QString>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QVBoxLayout>
#include <QHBoxLayout>
#include <QLabel>
#include <QLocale>
int main(int argc, char** argv){
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QWidget widget;
QVBoxLayout* vLayout = new QVBoxLayout(&widget);
QHBoxLayout* topLayout = new QHBoxLayout();
QHBoxLayout* bottomLayout = new QHBoxLayout();
QLabel* label1 = new QLabel(QObject::tr("Label1"));
QLabel* label2 = new QLabel(QObject::tr("Label2"));
label1->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
label2->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
QPushButton* btn1 = new QPushButton(QObject::tr("The Button!!!!"));
topLayout->addWidget(label1);
topLayout->addWidget(label2);
bottomLayout->addStretch();
bottomLayout->addWidget(btn1);
bottomLayout->addStretch();
vLayout->addLayout(topLayout);
vLayout->addLayout(bottomLayout);
widget.show();
return app.exec();
}
Best Answer
Try making the pink box a QWidget with a QHBoxLayout (rather than just making it a layout). The reason is that QLayouts don't provide functionality to make fixed sizes, but QWidgets do.
If you really want to have two separate layouts--one for the pink box and one for the blue box--the idea is basically the same except you'd make the blue box into its own QVBoxLayout, and then use:
