I have been facing a strange problem with layout. The problem is that the main layout have a background i.e. gray color (#DCDCDC). It consists of a child which is ScrollView with vertical LinearLayout. It contains 2 views: one is TextView with black background and next is google map.
Now the problem is: when the TextView becomes visible it is ok. But when ScrollView is scrolled to make the map visible whole screen gets dimmer which is not desirable from the consistency point of view.
And the surprising thing is that the problem is only in case of 4.x versions of Android.
Following is the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@color/grey"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/back"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:background="@drawable/_btn_back"
android:onClick="clickHandler"
android:paddingLeft="15dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:text="@string/terms_and_condition_terug"
android:textColor="@color/white"
android:textStyle="normal" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/logo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/info"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="clickHandler"
android:src="@drawable/_info" />
</LinearLayout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="700dp"
android:background="@drawable/itemlistbackground" />
<com.readystatesoftware.maps.TapControlledMapView
android:id="@+id/mapview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="700dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:apiKey="@string/mapApiKey"
android:clickable="true" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
And following is the screenshot when the TextView is visible
and following screenshot was taken when map was visible
If you look carefully at those screen second image is dimmer than the first which is not desired. I don't want the dimmer screen while showing map in it. Please help me out.
