Runtime DrawerLayout should be measured using MeasureSpec.EXACTLY excpetion

Question

I am following this tutorial and I am facing a strange problem.

It doesn’t matter in my DrawerLayout , but if its layout_height or layout_width set to anything other than a hardcoded number, it throws this exception for execution.

I have many reports of this error that occur when trying to visualize the output in the Graphical Layout tool, but cannot find any error at runtime.

I have the latest support library updated right now to version 21.0.2

I would like to avoid hard-coding my height and width if possible.

The beginning of the file is as follows. So he will crush.

 <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/drawer_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > 

and stacktrace -

If it needs to be hard-coded, what is the best way to make it “right” for different screen sizes?

Answer 1

Try to override DrawerLayout by measurement method.

 public class CustomDrawerLayout extends DrawerLayout { public CustomDrawerLayout(Context context) { super(context); } public CustomDrawerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); } public CustomDrawerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) { super(context, attrs, defStyle); } @Override protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) { widthMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec( MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY); heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec( MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY); super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec); } } 

Answer 2

I found that put requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); before setContent() can solve this in my case.
