I have two images in constraint layout. I want to use chains feature with design page in android studio but I can't find icon or menu that represent Chains feature.
Update (2019 august 23)
The small buttons shown on the screenshots are now available on the right click menu, Google updated the UI for more easy layout operations.
How to add Chains feature of ConstraintLayout with Android Studio's 'Layout Editor'?
The chain style can be controlled by "chain" button right below the view:
Click on it few times to toggle between all 3 modes:
spread (the default one)
spread_inside
packed
Let's see some examples
centering views which are connected together using chain
drag and drop three buttons into the Android Studio's 'Layout Editor'
Select those buttons together by dragging mouse
Pack them vertically using the 'pack' button in 'Layout Editor'
Align them center horizontally using 'Align-Center horizontally' button
Align them center vertically using the 'Align-Center vertically' button
Here we used the pack option. similar to this, you can try spread and spread inside options of chain to see the difference. cheers :)
First put two images horizontally.
Select both of them with the left click of the mouse.
Then press center horizontal form toolbar.
The chain is served.
Similarly, you can create the vertical chain.

I am new to Wix and to be honest kind of confused if there is a way to add a horizontal bar in my website.
So I have a multistate box with different states so when you press a button it takes you to that state.
What I want to do, is to somehow fit these buttons in the mobile version. I have seen that there are some components called tabs which could do the trick because they come with a default horizontal scroll bar or arrows when the content does not fit. Is there any alternative or an actual component I can add to my buttons and fix that issue?
Thank you in advance!
I would like to create a widget commonly found in many games for selecting different options from a radial menu.
The widget should have a button in the middle which you drag to one part of a surrounding circle-outline to select one option.
One example is the spotting menu in Apex Legends.
How would you go about it?
I am pretty new to flutter.
Thanks for any suggestions!
GTK has a way to draw a group of buttons together so they look like one big button with a divider between them, rather than buttons that are drawn apart. It's useful for drawing buttons together that have a similar function.
Here's an example from the GTK inspector, where they appear to be specifically toggle buttons where only one can be selected:
Another example, from Glade, where each button represents a category of widgets and opens a menu:
What is this style of buttons called, and how do I make them?
GTK Inspector example shows GtkStackSwitcher, a special widget used to control the GtkStack (for page switching).
Generally, to achieve this visual effect for a group of buttons, GtkButtonBox is used with the layout style set to GTK_BUTTONBOX_EXPAND.
Buttons expand to fill the box. This entails giving buttons a "linked" appearance, making button sizes homogeneous, and setting spacing to 0
You can also manually add a "linked" style to any container with buttons:
GtkStyleContext *context;
...
context = gtk_widget_get_style_context(button_box);
gtk_style_context_add_class(context, GTK_STYLE_CLASS_LINKED);

I am up to create a section on my Android Home screen similar to this one,
but cannot really figuring out where to start. I mean is this a ListView I should go with? or are these simple images that are placed as different objects surrounded by straight lines? In either case, how to put these things together, is a question that I am wondering..
You can either use:
a GridLayout (for API < 14, there is a support library available somewhere on GitHub)
a vertical LinearLayout containing two horizontal LinearLayouts
a single RelativeLayout
For the buttons, use TextView or Button with a top drawable.
Please note that the dashboard pattern is now discouraged (link 1, link 2) (you should present useful information to the user on first screen such as there latest trips, friend's news, ...).
Instead of that, you could put your buttons in a sliding menu (jfeinstein has a nice implementation on github which can be integrated within an hour)
I'm new to Delphi. I really wanted to build a Preferences Windows in my company legacy system (which uses 'Delphi 2010' today) just like Eclipse's.
I could already mimic almost all the items:
Divided the whole screen in 3 panels (one at the left, one at the right and one at the bottom),
On TTreeView inside the left panel, and one TScrollBox on the panel of the right to be able to scroll things if they don't fit on the window for any reason (low monitor resolution or too much options). Even used a TSplitter between panel on the right and the panel on the left.
Here's what I could get:
My doubt is: what should I do to be able to load multiple options once an item inside the TreeView is selected? What delphi component should I use to mimic all this info in the right panel?
Make a frame for each page. This is kind of a "sub-form" that you can design visually. Create and destroy them at runtime in the appropriate event-handlers of the tree view.
Use a TPageControl. Add a TTabSheet for each group of controls you plan to have — one for each item in the tree control. Set TabVisible := False for each sheet to keep the tabs from appearing at the top of the page control. Each time an item in the tree control is selected, make the corresponding tab sheet visible by setting the page control's ActivePage property. Put controls on the sheets according to the preferences associated with that sheet's category.
