Question

once more: me.

I have a TableLayout (http://imgur.com/XYdcg) for my “SingleItemAdvancedView” how i like to call it 😉
The thing is, I want the data [the TextViews which don’t have string *Lbl as android:text set] (so NOT the description like : “name:” , “id:” etc.) to be displayed on the right side of the whole display, not like it’s now ( they are displayed right next to the left table-column). I tried to align the layout to the right side, as well as only the text (with layout_gravity and gravity only). everything didn’t work. My widths are all set to fill_parent , so I simply don’t understand why. Help needed! Thanks!

My XML for the activity looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">

              android:layout_width="wrap_content"

               />
    <TextView android:text=""
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:id="@+id/itemidv" />

Answer 1

You could add android:stretchColumns=”0″ to TableLayout. So you would have something like this:

<TableLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:stretchColumns="0"> 

If you want both columns to stretch equally you could use ‘*’ instead of ‘0’.
