Question

EDIT:
Does TableLayout not work properly? I see most of you say use relative layout, and skip tableview?

The SPACE on after Data 1 and Data 2 I was trying to get rid of. If I put the same XML code without the TableLayout then it looks to be ok. What do I change?

The 3rd row with the “100” I wanted 2 entry textviews on the right side. I have tried everything I can think of and it will not go to the right. I removed the 2nd textview to see if that helped, but didnt make much difference.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? thank you!

Here is the XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">


    <TableLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:stretchColumns="*" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:padding="6px">

        <TableRow style="@style/FormRows" android:layout_marginTop="15sp">
            <Button android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5px"
                android:layout_span="3" android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Save"
                android:id="@+id/dgSave" />
        </TableRow>



        <TableRow style="@style/FormRows">

            <TextView android:layout_width="70sp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="16sp"
                android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Data 1" />

            <Spinner android:id="@+id/dgData0" android:layout_weight="2"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        </TableRow>



        <TableRow>

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

        <EditText android:text="100" android:selectAllOnFocus="true"
                    android:imeOptions="actionNext" android:numeric="integer"
                    android:width="100sp" android:id="@+id/dgWarn0" android:gravity="right"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:layout_gravity="right" android:layout_span="2" />


                <EditText android:text="100" android:selectAllOnFocus="true"

                    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:layout_gravity="right" android:layout_span="2" />

            </LinearLayout>

        </TableRow>

        <TableRow style="@style/FormRows">

            <TextView android:layout_width="70sp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="16sp"

                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        </TableRow>


    </TableLayout>
</ScrollView>

THANK YOU! for any help!!!

Here’s what a RelativeLayout might look like. I did this kind of quickly… it’s missing some other margins, etc… but it’s a starting point.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
    <Button android:id="@+id/save"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_margin="20dp"
        android:text="Save" />
    <Spinner android:id="@+id/spinner1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_alignRight="@id/save" />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/spinner1"
        android:text="Data 1" />
    <EditText android:id="@+id/editbox"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_alignRight="@id/save"
        android:layout_below="@id/spinner1" />
    <Spinner android:id="@+id/spinner2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_alignRight="@id/save"
        android:layout_below="@id/editbox" />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/spinner2"
        android:text="Data 2" />
</RelativeLayout>
