I am using TableLayout, and when I am placing a button, I want to specify which column the button should be placed in. For example, column 4. The dirty way to go around this is to place 3 empty views before I place the button.
But, is there a better way? I was told to use android:layout_column="4" in the code, but it made the application crash.
The solution that I found is by using the view its basically an empty view that just takes up space in the view its placed in. Alternatively a can be used, will be able to do what I wanted to do before BUT unfortunately the columns and rows aren’t distributed evenly or automatically which is a drawback.
