Question

I’m feeling difficult to implement , two widgets(say spinner) in linear layout one next to the other. I mean layout height of both spinner is wrap content, but width should be first half for the first spinner, second half of the screen to the second spinner. In linear layout they coming one down the other. I tried in Relative Layout, but as i gave width as wrap_content both are coming one next to each other but lot of space is remaining right to second spinner. I have seen in few apps this working out, but im not getting it.

Answer 1

Use layout_weight. This will force the two spinners to take up half of the space each.

<LinearLayout
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    ... >

    <Spinner
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        ... />

    <Spinner
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        ... />

</LinearLayout>
