I have a listview with a checkbox, an image and a text field. Now

  • 0

I have a listview with a checkbox, an image and a text field. Now I do want to display more than one items in the text field. The problem is that I want the arguments in neat colums. Can I somehow set tabstops or a format or something like that in the text field or do I have to actually make more text fields and set each value in its own field ?

My list should look somewhat like:

[Image]  [checkbox]   "arg11    arg12    arg13"
[Image]  [checkbox]   "arg21    arg22    arg23"
[Image]  [checkbox]   "arg31    arg32    arg33"

Thanks for any advice.

Edit: Just to clarify things. I have a working listview/adapter with the image/checkbox and one textfield already. I am kind of new to Android so all I want to know if there is an elegant way to handle displaying several text items in the text field. In Windows I would simply use tabstopps and they would look ordered and in a column but I don’t know my way well enough around android to know if there is something similar or if individual text fields are required to get the text fields in columns.

    You should Re-work on the row xml. I think you may know about the row xml where you can chage the design of each and every row. Take a Relative or Linear Layout and add the views as shown below.

    [Image]  [checkbox]   "text1"   "text2   "text3"
[Image]  [checkbox]   "text1"   "text2   "text3"
[Image]  [checkbox]   "text1"   "text2   "text3"

    Instead of taking tab spaces, take three different TextView’s. keep ‘1’ as weight for each and every TextView and add these to a LinearLayout which is having total weight sum as 3.So all the three TextView will be equally placed in the parent view.

    Try this and lemme know whether you fixed it…..
