How to make android button equal width? - android

I've set android:layout_weight="1" to all 3 buttons, but doesn't work.
My layout is something like:
<table1>
<row></row>
<row><button /><button /><button /></row>
<row><table2><row>SOMETHING</row></table2></row>
</table1>
When table2 is hidden ("gone"), those 3 buttons seems not too bad, although they don't have equal width, when table2 is not hidden, the first button become big and I can hardly see the other 2 buttons, below are the full xml and snapshot:
<ScrollView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:inputType="time" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>

When using layout_weight for horizontal View distribution, set layout_width="0dip" instead of "fill_parent" or "wrap_content" on the View with the layout_weight attribute.

try the following
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_gravity is not relevant in a LinearLayout. It is meant for a FrameLayout. It means "what should be my gravity in relation to my (FrameLayout) father". android:gravity on the other hand means "what is the gravity inside me" and it applies to different views differently (like in a TextView it will align the text according to the gravity).
I think you could probably throw out half of the layouts you are using to display views (it's kind of confusing and hard to read) by simplifying your layout scheme and use just using a RelativeLayout for alignment issues (align to parent or to other views) and LinearLayout for grouping vertical and horizontal groups.
use tablelayout an then use tablerowlayout. and put your checkboxes.

Long text in TextView

I want to display a long text in a TextView. This is my XML:
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dip"
android:text="#string/text" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/gender"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="#string/lorem" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
And this is how it looks like:
The long text doesn't fit. What do I have to change?
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="100dip"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:padding="5dip"
android:text="#string/text" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/gender"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="#string/lorem" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
Depends on the style, that you want to achive: If Its okay to have multible-Lines you can just add in xml
android:singleLine="false"
or
android:lines="2"
If not you can allow to scroll it horizontally with
android:scrollHorizontally="true"

Android TableLayout does not scroll vertically

Thanks in advance for any help. I am very new to Android.
Here's my problem. I am using a TableLayout to display editable fields. There are about twenty rows to display.
The rows overflow the screen on smaller devices. I need the View to allow the user to scroll up and down. What am I missing?
Tried wrapping the TableLayout in a ScrollView, didn't work.
put your TableLayout inside ScrollView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/tableLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

Just make the top-level layout a ScrollView:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:stretchColumns="1">
<!-- everything you already have -->
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
How to use ScrollView
Using ScrollView is not very difficult. You can just add one to your layout and put whatever you want to scroll inside. ScrollView only takes one child so if you want to put a few things inside then you should make the first thing be something like a LinearLayout.
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- things to scroll -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
If you want to scroll things horizontally, then use a HorizontalScrollView.
Making the content fill the screen
As is talked about in this post, sometimes you want the ScrollView content to fill the screen. For example, if you had some buttons at the end of a readme. You want the buttons to always be at the end of the text and at bottom of the screen, even if the text doesn't scroll.
If the content scrolls, everything is fine. However, if the content is smaller than the size of the screen, the buttons are not at the bottom.
This can be solved with a combination of using fillViewPort on the ScrollView and using a layout weight on the content. Using fillViewPort makes the ScrollView fill the parent area. Setting the layout_weight on one of the views in the LinearLayout makes that view expand to fill any extra space.
Here is the XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The idea for this answer came from a previous answer that is now deleted (link for 10K users). The content of this answer is an update and adaptation of this post.
There are two options. You can make your entire layout to be scrollable or only the TextView to be scrollable.
For the first case,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

or, as I said you can use scrollView for TextView alone.
A ScrollView is a special type of FrameLayout in that it allows users to scroll through a list of views that occupy more space than the physical display.I just add some attributes .
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:scrollbars = "vertical"
android:scrollbarStyle="insideInset"
>
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:stretchColumns="1"
>
<!-- Add here which you want -->
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
As said above you can put it inside a ScrollView... and if you want the Scroll View to be horizontal put it inside HorizontalScrollView... and if you want your component (or layout) to support both put inside both of them like this:
<HorizontalScrollView>
<ScrollView>
<!-- SOME THING -->
</ScrollView>
</HorizontalScrollView>
and with setting the layout_width and layout_height ofcourse.
Put your TableLayout inside a ScrollView Layout.That will solve your problem.
To scroll data in text view you can use this to your text view.
and add
and for anything other layout you can just add scroll view on layout as people are saying above.
/**
android:scrollable=true at textview in xml layout.
TextView txtScroll = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt1);
txtScroll.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

Android, layout_width and width, alignBaseline, TableLayout and layout_span related questions

[First, sorry, I couldn't come up with a more intelligent question title.]
Okay, hang with me while you read this long post.
I am new to Android, this is my very first dummy Pizza Order application. I am playing with XML layouts and have got some questions.
The editText_CardNo goes out of screen, its column isn't stretching, why? (Image)
[EDIT]
Can I specify a global layout_marginRight for all TableRow?
Resolved
I have aligned elements using alignBaseline but I don't see it working.
In the Crust section i have done layout_span="2" but no use, the second radio button's text still wraps. (Image)
Inner Tables e.g. TableLayout inside TableRow appear really ugly, only left half is visible, also tried with adding layout_span inside TableLayout or the TableRow containing it but no use. (Image)
How can I collapse the subsections e.g. TableLayout inside TableRow using properties?

layout_alignBaseline is for RelativeLayout only. LinearLayout (and therefore TableLayout) perform baseline alignment by default.
The layout_span needs to go on the RadioGroup, not the RadioButtons.
The editText_CardNo goes out of screen because you set its width to android:layout_width="200px". This is too large. The column is stretched only when smaller than the screen. You want it to shrink. You can set a column both shrinkable AND stretchable.
How can i collapse the subsections e.g. TableLayout inside TableRow using properties? >> Use android:visibility="gone"
