Android - layout width/height percentage of a screen?

OK. This is the trick

In simple words: make a 1px (px, not dp - you don't want it scaled, but small enough to be trascurable!) TextView which will be your invisible (you leave it transparent and set no text in it) "center of the universe".

Then stretch your other TextView, but limit it to stay to the left (which is at 50% - 1/2 px) of the center and above (again, 50% - 1/2 px) it:

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/centerPoint"
        android:layout_width="1px"
        android:layout_height="1px"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/myText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/centerPoint"
        android:layout_above="@id/centerPoint"
    />
</RelativeLayout>

Set width of parent linear layout as percentage of the screen

This is a correct way, if you want RelativeLayout have 40% width of the screen, but this technique cant apply to the parent layout, because parent layout doesn't have parent layout and android:layout_weight doesn't affect

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weightSum="100">

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="40">

</RelativeLayout>

Since I know that you can't use layout_weight in a relative layout

We can use layout_weight in any view and layout, if it direct child of a LinearLayout

Percentage width in a RelativeLayout

You are looking for the android:layout_weight attribute. It will allow you to use percentages to define your layout.

In the following example, the left button uses 70% of the space, and the right button 30%.

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <Button
        android:text="left" 
        android:layout_width="0dp" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_weight=".70" /> 

    <Button
        android:text="right" 
        android:layout_width="0dp" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_weight=".30" />

</LinearLayout>

It works the same with any kind of View, you can replace the buttons with some EditText to fit your needs.

Be sure to set the layout_width to 0dp or your views may not be scaled properly.

Note that the weight sum doesn't have to equal 1, I just find it easier to read like this. You can set the first weight to 7 and the second to 3 and it will give the same result.

How to make ConstraintLayout work with percentage values?

You can currently do this in a couple of ways.

One is to create guidelines (right-click the design area, then click add vertical/horizontal guideline). You can then click the guideline's "header" to change the positioning to be percentage based. Finally, you can constrain views to guidelines.

Another way is to position a view using bias (percentage) and to then anchor other views to that view.

That said, we have been thinking about how to offer percentage based dimensions. I can't make any promise but it's something we would like to add.

Sizing elements to percentage of screen width/height

FractionallySizedBox may also be useful.
You can also read the screen width directly out of MediaQuery.of(context).size and create a sized box based on that

MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.65

if you really want to size as a fraction of the screen regardless of what the layout is.

Automatic image scaling to percentage of screen width inside Android layout

Try to use PercentRelativeLayout instead of simple RelativeLayout and just add app:layout_heightPercent property with the percentage which you want. As it's a part of support libraries you should add compile 'com.android.support:percent:23.0.1' to your gradle dependencies.

How to set parent div width as a percentage of the screen size (HTML, CSS)

Hi,
There is css unit called viewport width(vw) and viewport height(vh).

Viewport need first meta tag named: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">.

1 viewport width specify 1% of user screen and change with resizing if you need the width of div fullscreen just add width: 100vw Css Rule.

As same 1 viewport height specify 1% user screen height.
