Android: how to make a view grow to fill available space?

Question

This seems straightforward, but I can\'t figure out how to do it. I have a horizontal layout with an EditText and two ImageButtons. I want the ImageButtons to be of a fixed si

Answer 1

Okay:

The key points of the layout are:

• The items with fixed sized are placed first in the layout, this way when Android comes to calculating the height of the height of things with fill_parent later in the file it only takes into account the remaining space, not all of the space it could possibly occupy if nothing else was there
• The EditText has a height of fill_parent (match_parent in 2.2+) so that it takes up the rest of the available space

Sorry didn't read your question will enough. The above code provides the answer if you want to do it in a vertical fashion. For a horizontal layout the code posted by @Sunil should work.
