LinearLayout with two children of equal width

Question

I\'m having some issues getting two children of a LinearLayout to have the same width. This is what I am getting:

Answer 1

Equally weighted children

To create a linear layout in which each child uses the same amount of space on the screen, set the android:layout_height of each view to "0dp" (for a vertical layout) or the android:layout_width of each view to "0dp" (for a horizontal layout). Then set the android:layout_weight of each view to "1". Refer : http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/linear.html

Answer 2

Remove the weight sum from your Parent View (@+id/profile_action_rate_user).

Answer 3

this is you want:

try this xml @boz:it will run in all size of layouts...!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_weight=".50"
        android:background="@drawable/ic_launcher" >
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_weight=".50"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="33.33" >
        </LinearLayout>

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="33.33"
            android:background="@android:color/darker_gray" >
        </LinearLayout>

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="33.33" >
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

if still any query,plz ask.

Answer 4

android:weightSum="2" should be on the parent of the two children ImageViews, not on the upper parent. Or else try to set weightsas 0.5 and see if it works.

Also, the widths of the two image views should be android:layout_width="0dp" when using weights like this.

Next, scale up your images to fill space. Details here.

You can use something like this,hope this will fit your requirement. Try this xml .

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/Black"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="vertical" 
        android:layout_weight="0.5"
        >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/profile_rate_header"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Rate User"
            />

        <LinearLayout 
            android:id="@+id/profile_action_rate_user"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:gravity="center"
            >

            <ImageView 
                android:id="@+id/profile_action_rate_up"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:src="@drawable/close"
                />

            <ImageView 
                android:id="@+id/profile_action_rate_down"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="0.5"
