This is my latest attempt to get what I want.  It still doesn't work, 
unfortunately.

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
RelativeLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:layout_width=match_parent
android:layout_height=match_parent 

EditText
android:id=@+id/inputEdit
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:layout_width=400dp
android:width=400dp
android:inputType=numberSigned|numberDecimal
android:layout_alignParentRight=true
android:layout_centerVertical=true
android:layout_marginLeft=0dip
android:layout_marginRight=0dip
/EditText

Spinner
android:id=@+id/inputSpinner
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:layout_width=400dp
android:width=400dp
android:layout_alignParentRight=true
android:layout_centerVertical=true
android:layout_marginLeft=0dip
android:layout_marginRight=0dip/

TextView
android:id=@+id/editLabelTV
android:layout_height=wrap_content 
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:gravity=right
android:layout_centerVertical=true
android:layout_toLeftOf=@id/inputEdit
android:layout_marginLeft=0dip
android:layout_marginRight=0dip/

TextView
android:id=@+id/spinLabelTV
android:layout_height=wrap_content 
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:gravity=right
android:layout_centerVertical=true
android:layout_toLeftOf=@id/inputSpinner
android:layout_marginLeft=0dip
android:layout_marginRight=0dip/
/RelativeLayout

In an attempt to be able to use the toLeftOf property, I created another 
label, and hide both the extra label and unused control.  I'm still getting 
the same result.  This is kindof what I'm getting, now:

   Input 1:__
Another Input: __
 Input Three:  __

Where all the input controls are lined up, right, but the labels are pretty 
much centered in the remaining room.  I feel like I'm missing something 
simple, because it doesn't seem like this should be so difficult.

 What does it do now? What does your code / layouts look like right now 
 that does not work?

Seems to me that you need either a Table, with two columns, or probably
even simpler, Three LinearLayouts:
- A root parent (horizontal)
- A left child for your inputs, with right gravity to move its children to
the right
- A right child for your labels

Some crude ascii art:

---
| |-|---| |
| | Input 1 | ___   | |
| |   Another Input | ___   | |
| |-|---| |
---

Feel me?

[android-developers] Layout text justificaiton question:

2012-03-01 Thread Mark Winchester
I've got a GUI coded up, and it works pretty well, but I'm having an issue 
getting everything formatted just right.  Currently, there exists a 
ListView on the page.  This list view is then filled with horizontal 
LinearLayouts that have a TextView (label) a either an EditText or Spinner, 
depending on the type of input.  When I populate the list, I'm setting the 
visibility of the unused control to GONE, so that only the correct control 
appears on the screen.  What I'm having trouble with, is that I'd like for 
the left edge of the text/spinners to be lined up, down the list, and the 
labels to appear right justified next to them.  I can get the 
text/spinners lined up correctly by setting the width of the TextView, but 
the text on the TextView doesn't bump up against the input controls, like I 
want it to.  Can anybody suggest a way to get this looking like I'm 
wanting?  Any help is appreciated.

This is kindof like what I'm looking for:
  Input 1: __
Another Input: __
  Input Three: __
