Question

In my application I am showing list of datas from database in a list view.For that listview i have 1 header with 4 text views arranged horizontally..But i want this to be arranged with some space exactly between and also it should fit into every screen. Please help me.Thanks in advance.By the following code it is arranging 1 after the other without space.

My code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
    android:background="#ffffffff">

     <TextView android:id="@+id/hdrdate"        
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
        android:text="Date"/> 

      <TextView android:id="@+id/hdrdateasc"        
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"           
        />

     <TextView android:id="@+id/hdrdes"     
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
        android:text="Item"
        />

     <TextView android:id="@+id/hdritemasc"     
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        />

      <TextView android:id="@+id/hdrprice"      
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
        android:text="Price"
        />      

       <TextView android:id="@+id/hdrpriceasc"      
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        />

      <TextView android:id="@+id/hdrtot"        
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
        android:text="Total"
        />

       <TextView android:id="@+id/hdrtotasc"        
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        />
</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

You can use layout margin for spacing between view like

android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"

To fit them on the screen you can use layout_weight.Give every view weight 1 so all will be equal.You already use fill_parent for the width of your LinearLayout.

android:layout_weight="1" for every view
