layout_weight with buttons and text views in table row

Question

I am trying to make four rows of three buttons each, and at the bottom of the buttons are two text views. I would like for them all to be spaced evenly but they aren\'t and

Answer 1

Ok so to help out with this add android:stretchColumns="0,1,2,3" in your Table Layout which would make buttons even sized.

Secondly add a android:layout_span="2" to both of your text views.

Heres you a final code:

<!-- NOTICE STRETCHCOLUMNS ATTRIBUTE-->
<TableLayout android:id="@+id/TableLayout01"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:stretchColumns="0,1,2,3"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
>
.
.
.

<!-- NOTICE LAYOUT_SPAN ATTRIBUTE-->
<TextView android:text="@+id/TextView01" 
    android:layout_weight="1" 
    android:id="@+id/TextView01"
    android:layout_span="2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>

<TextView android:text="@+id/TextView02"
    android:layout_weight="1" 
    android:id="@+id/TextView02" 
    android:layout_span="2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>

If you are setting the text size programmatically to make your TextViews evenly spaced, its not needed when you have android:layout_span set.
