android-layout-weight

I have tried all kinds of help from other posts (setting widths to 0dp etc.) but nothing seems to work. I have 2 layouts and the first one still seems to dominate.

However put a background on the linear layout and it is almost 3/4 of the screen!? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TableRow xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/rowkRow" android:background="@color/RowBkgColor" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:minHeight

I have a Tabbed Activity with three ListView Fragments but the ListView appears cut from the buttom. You never see the last element. I tried everything but I'm not able to solve it. This is the Tabbed Activity: public class TabbedActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter; private ViewPager mViewPager; private String query_id; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_tabbed); Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

I'm trying to divide my layout to 3 equal rows, trying to use LinearLayout and weights, but it doesn't work, it doesn't make any change: <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/rightLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/picture" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/picture" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/aligner" android:orientation="vertical" android:weightSum="3" > <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/lay1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android
