Question

I’ve been toying around with a lot of different layout structures and can’t seem to find the best one for my solution.

Essentially I need 3 rows that each take up 33% (height) of the device (in landscape mode). I thought would be perfect, but I can’t seem to find a way to specify the height of a . It’s possible I’ve overlooked a property somewhere, but I can’t find it in the docs. I also thought of as an option but after playing around with that for a bit, I’m not sure that’s the best solution either.

Can accomplish what I need? I will have other layouts specified within my rows (RelativeLayout primarily), but I just need the core structure to be 3 rows of 33% height each.

EDIT – Added Code:

Take a look here How to split the screen with two equal LinearLayouts?. You just need add one more row to the solution. Note android:orientation=”vertical” at the top-level LinearLayout.
