I want to put 4 buttons horizontally in a linearlayout. In order to space

  • 0

I want to put 4 buttons horizontally in a linearlayout. In order to space them equally I set android:layout_weight="1" in each button. The problem is that the width of the button is not respected and they fill the whole linearlayout. This works with imageviews, why not with buttons?

Thanks

enter image description here

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="50dp" android:background="#FFFFFF">
    <Button android:id="@+id/btn_sort_pert"
        android:layout_width="90dp" android:layout_height="31dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_weight="1" android:text="@string/pertinence"
        android:textSize="14sp" android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:background="@drawable/btn_sort" />
    <Button android:id="@+id/btn_sort_dist"
        android:layout_width="90dp" android:layout_height="31dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_weight="1" android:text="@string/distance"
        android:textSize="14sp" android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:background="@drawable/btn_sort" />
    <Button android:id="@+id/btn_sort_prix"
        android:layout_width="90dp" android:layout_height="31dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_weight="1" android:text="@string/prix"
        android:textSize="14sp" android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:background="@drawable/btn_sort" />
    <Button android:id="@+id/btn_refine"
        android:layout_width="32dp" android:layout_height="31dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@drawable/btn_affiner" />
</LinearLayout>

    EDIT

    You need to add empty views like:

    <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="50dp" android:background="#FFFFFF">
    <Button android:id="@+id/btn_sort_pert"
        android:layout_width="90dp" android:layout_height="31dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:gravity="center"
         android:text="@string/pertinence"
        android:textSize="14sp" android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:background="@drawable/btn_sort" />
       <View android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="1dp" 
       android:layout_weight="1">
    <Button android:id="@+id/btn_sort_dist"
        android:layout_width="90dp" android:layout_height="31dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:gravity="center"
         android:text="@string/distance"
        android:textSize="14sp" android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:background="@drawable/btn_sort" />
     <View android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="1dp" 
      android:layout_weight="1">
    <Button android:id="@+id/btn_sort_prix"
        android:layout_width="90dp" android:layout_height="31dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/prix"
        android:textSize="14sp" android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:background="@drawable/btn_sort" />
     <View android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="1dp" 
     android:layout_weight="1">
    <Button android:id="@+id/btn_refine"
        android:layout_width="32dp" android:layout_height="31dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:background="@drawable/btn_affiner" />
</LinearLayout>
