[android-developers] Re: Simple LinearLayout Question
Hello, yes, equal weights is the way to do it. Could you share your layout code? -- Jay Complete Android Tutorials: http://android.voxisland.com On Jan 31, 3:49 am, scastria scastria...@gmail.com wrote: Maybe I am missing something here: I have a simple horizontal LinearLayout with fill_parent set containing 3 TextViews inside it. I have set each of the TextViews to have 1.0 weight. My goal was to get each TextView to take up 33% of the LinearLayout. This sort of works, but the TextView sizes change depending on the text of the TextView. The TextView with the longest string is taking up slightly more space than the other two TextViews with shorter strings. Since each of the TextViews have equal weights, they should be evenly distributed across their parent regardless of the text inside, correct? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The weight controls how the remaining space is used after the sizes are taken into account. That's why you often see width/height set to zero where weight is used.

[android-developers] Re: Simple LinearLayout Question
Why don't you take a look at the following blog: http://andmobidev.blogspot.com/2010/01/setting-width-of-view-using-percentage.html Regardless of text length--as you were expecting--I was able to show three equal-width TextViews. The combination of android:weightSum, android:layout_weight, and android:layout_width seemed to work.
