Question

I have a TableLayout inside a ScrollView, that is I have a scrollable TableLayout! It is populated dynamically when I create Dialog‘s in different places of an Activity.

Actually everything works fine, but the fact that for every case there’s a different header (with a title for each column) on that table and it scrolls along with the rows. As the content of that table is dynamic, the amount (as well as the width) of columns is unknown.

So, basically, that’s my problem. I don’t see point in posting code, as I need mostly a suggestion/workaround, but if that would help overcome the issue, let me know. Would appreciate some samples very much.

Here is a way :

Note that there is a way to have this work every time : what you have to do is create a similar dummy row in the header, and set the texts in both dummies to the longest string you can find in the row (in number of chars, or, even better, do the comparison with Paint.getTextWidths)
