Android fixed width EditText within TableRow?

Phil I don't know that a TableLayout is the best way to do this, it can be cumbersome unless you're displaying large amounts of data and need to use it One of the best ways I've found to ensure that form objects have length distributed the way I want them is by using weight rather than explicitly declaring width Try the following: LinearLayout ... android:orientation="horizontal" ... android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content.

Phil, I don't know that a TableLayout is the best way to do this, it can be cumbersome unless you're displaying large amounts of data and need to use it. One of the best ways I've found to ensure that form objects have length distributed the way I want them is by using weight rather than explicitly declaring width. Try the following: Make sure to declare the layout width as 0, this will let the layout fill to the weight.

This should create two TextViews next to each other on the screen, both filling 50% of the screen. You can play with different percentages. You can also use a LinearLayout as a placeholder with a weight of whatever % you would like to place hold.

Make sure that your "weights" add up to 100 in order to ensure the view will look exactly as you want it to. Hope this helps.

Many thanks for the reply, I tried this for EditText which is the components I'm trying to place and it doesn't work. I think I may be missing something pretty fundamental to be honest. I will go back to tutorials and run through them.

Thanks for the reply though :) – Phil Jun 21 at 10:15 Not sure why Pheonixblade is setting the weight at 50, but if you declare the width 0 and use weight the way you normally should (with 1, or 2 etc) then it displayes equal column widths. If you set the width to say fill_parent, then the content in the TextView determines the column width. – ryandlf Aug 25 at 1:16 I just use 100 as the weightSum as a standard to make sure I know what's going on, you can use any weight you want.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
