How to have multiple TextView and EditText in one row each

I'm trying to get a form such a way that on each row the TextView is on the left and the EditText is on the right.
The below code works fine for one row, however,r if I have multiple rows then it doesn't draw TextView and EditText on each row but instead tries to jam everything together.
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="10dip"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Full Name"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#000000"
/>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/name"
android:gravity="center"
android:hint="John Doe"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Age"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#000000"
/>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/age"
android:gravity="center"
android:hint="age"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
This is what it looks like

There are so many ways to achieve the Layout which you been looking for. You were on track by adding layout_weight="1" in Views. Here's the one which uses your Layout only with little bit of orientation changes.
Explaination:
LinearLayout //ParentView Orientation - Vertical
LinearLayout //childView Orientation - Horizontal
TextView & EditText // Taking equal space with help of layout_weight="1"
LinearLayout //childView Orientation - Horizontal
TextView & EditText // Taking equal space with help of layout_weight="1"
Layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dip"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Full Name"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#000000"
/>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/name"
android:gravity="center"
android:hint="John Doe"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Age"
android:textSize="20dp"

Two columns layout with first column wrap_content, second fill_parent

I have to design UI to contain two columns.
First column should wrap contained label and second in the same row should fill whole space. Below some example:
http://temp.chrzanowski.info/so_layout.png
How can I do this ?

Use TableLayout with strechColumns = "1"
It stretches the 2nd column occupying the remaining space.
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="1" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>

Following TableLayout would give you the desired output:
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:stretchColumns="1">
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Bla bla bla"
android:singleLine="true" /> <!-- first column's view -->
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <!-- second column's view -->
</TableRow>
...
</TableLayout>

As an alternative, you can do a LinearLayout like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="100"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="40">
<TextView
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="A very very very long text"
android:singleLine="true"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:ellipsize="end">
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="60">
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="TextBox">
</EditText>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
To adjust width of columns, modify the layout_weight of each LinearLayout containers. Lesser value means smaller width, and both weights must equal 100.

Try this:
<?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" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Label 1"
android:layout_marginLeft="7dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Label Loooong2"
android:layout_marginLeft="7dp"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Label 3"
android:layout_marginLeft="7dp"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:orientation="vertical">
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="TextBox"/>
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="TextBox"/>
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="TextBox"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

***dp represents from where you want to scroll the LinearLayout.

did you try putting everything inside a "ScrollView"? :-)
<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout>
<!-- Your linear layout here -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Cheers!

You can use below coding.
Vertical scrolling:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
// all views to scroll
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
horizontal scrolling:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="#+id/horizontalScrollView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
// all views to scroll
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>

Center TableLayout row in android xml

I am trying to align in the center 2 buttons in a table row, no matter the screen resolution, so i am trying to avoid using specified margins.
This is my code, it works only with declared margins, and i am using gravity and layout gravity...nothing worked for me. They did not align in the center.
Does anyone have an idea? Thanks anyway.

Put your buttons in a couple of LinearLayouts instead of a TableRow.
<TableLayout
...
>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_gravity="center"
>
<Button
android:id="#+id/image1Btn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:drawablePadding="-5sp"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/image1"
android:src="#drawable/image1"
android:text="#string/image1text"
android:textColor="#color/darkgrey" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/image2Btn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:drawablePadding="-5sp"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/image2"
android:src="#drawable/image2"
android:text="#string/image2text"
android:textColor="#color/darkgrey" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
...
</TableLayout>
The outer LinearLayout will be stretched to the width of the TableLayout and have its height set to wrap_content by TableLayout. The inner LinearLayout will be centered horizontally in the outer LinearLayout because the latter is vertically oriented.

<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:background="#drawable/wood">

android tablelayout with complex component placement

EDITED: I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION MYSELF. THANK YOU!
I want to create the following screen for an Android App:
Right now I have this:
with this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The text can be aligned to the right using android:gravity="right", but how can I make it
centered vertically?
--> AISHH, it's: android:gravity="center_vertical|right"
Thank you!!

Well TableLayout is not a good ideea. You should try using a RelativeLayout and some LinearLayout nested inside.
Try something like this:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:id="#+id/first_linear"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Note that for text view,and editText you might need to use certain values (dip values) cuz wrap content will try to arrange the view -->
<TextView
android:id="#+id/first_text_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<EditText
android:id = "#+id/first_edit_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- we align all the following linearlayouts below the first -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/first_linear"
android:id="#+id/second_linear"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/second_text_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<EditText
android:id = "#+id/second_edit_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- add all the layouts like those from above -->
<!-- ...... -->
<!-- after you added all the fields you can add a linear layout containing two buttons to float below the last one -->

I've done a similar layout like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical"
