Question

I’m trying to put a TextView into my TableView so that it doesn’t push the spinner box and the other TextView off of the screen. I’ve tried changing the layout_width, yet that has not worked. I have also tried changing the layout_width of the TableRow, but that is not working, either. So how can I fit the text of the left-most textView in the row?

<TableLayout android:id="@+id/abilityScoreTable"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:padding="0dip">
    <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:textSize="30dip" android:id="@+id/abilityScoreBannerText" android:text="Ability Scores"></TextView>
    <TableRow android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:id="@+id/tableRow1" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
       <TextView android:text="zero" android:id="@+id/StrengthBonusText" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
        <Spinner android:id="@+id/StrengthSpinner" android:layout_width="10px" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:entries="@array/string_ability_scores"></Spinner>
        <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:id="@+id/StrengthTextView" android:text="Strength"
android:textSize="30dip"></TextView>
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/tableRow2" android:gravity="center">
        <Spinner android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/dexteritySpinner" android:entries="@array/string_ability_scores"></Spinner>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/textView2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:text="Dexterity" android:textSize="30dip"></TextView>
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:entries="@array/string_ability_scores" android:layout_gravity="center"

        <Spinner android:id="@+id/ConstitutionSpinner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:entries="@array/string_ability_scores"></Spinner>
        <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="Constitution" android:textSize="30dip"
android:id="@+id/ConstitutionTextView"></TextView>
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/tableRow3" android:gravity="center">
        <Spinner android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/intelligenceSpinner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:entries="@array/string_ability_scores"></Spinner>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="Intelligence" android:textSize="30dip"></TextView>
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/tableRow4"
android:gravity="center">
        <Spinner android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/WisdomSpinner" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:entries="@array/string_ability_scores"></Spinner>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:text="Wisdom"
android:textSize="30dip"></TextView>
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/tableRow5"
android:gravity="center">
        <Spinner android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/CharismaSpinner" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:entries="@array/string_ability_scores"></Spinner>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/textView4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="Charisma" android:textSize="30dip"></TextView>
    </TableRow>
</TableLayout>

Currently, it looks like this:

On the top-most spinner there’s suppose to be a number to the left. I’m trying to squeeze it on to the screen and have all three fit.
