Why Is Each Element In The Table Row Still Taking The Same Amount Of Space

Here is what I am getting when I run my application on my device The part that I have problems with is the rows - with text, quote, and web. I dynamically inserted those rows into

Solution 1:

Check this it works..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@android:color/transparent" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/stockView"
    android:layout_width="0dip"
    android:text="TextView"
    android:layout_weight="2" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/stockQuote"
    android:layout_width="0dip"
    style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
    android:text="get_stock_quote"
    android:layout_weight="1" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/webStock"
    android:layout_width="0dip"
    style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
    android:text="go_to_website"
    android:layout_weight="1"  />

Solution 2:

You should play with layout_span. Try to add android:layout_span="2" to your textview.

What is the equivalent of "colspan" in an Android TableLayout?
