Question

I have two questions.

1. How can I get the spinner in the figure below closer to the text?

I use the following xml layout

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="4">   

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Check by" 
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:textSize="20dp"/>

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/CheckBy"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:textSize="20dp" 
        android:enabled="false"/>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Outcome"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:textSize="20dp"/>

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/Outcome"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:textSize="20dp" 
        android:enabled="false"/>

</LinearLayout>

2. How can I change the text of the enter button, as in the below figure, and assign an action to be performed when it is clicked?

Answer 1

1) For the layout design use below code –

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    >


    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Check by" 
        android:textSize="20dp"


        />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/CheckBy"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="20dp" 
        android:enabled="false"

       />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Outcome"
        android:textSize="20dp" 

         />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/Outcome"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="20dp" 
        android:enabled="false" 

       />


</LinearLayout>

Simply remove the weightsum and give the wrap_content as width.
