You want to use the XML attribute *android:layout_weight="1"* so that the element will take up as much space as it can. I edited your layout and posted a working version below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <TableLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <TableRow> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Artist" android:padding="10sp" /> <EditText android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="10sp" android:singleLine="true" /> </TableRow> <TableRow> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Title" android:padding="10sp" /> <EditText android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="10sp" android:singleLine="true" /> </TableRow> </TableLayout> </LinearLayout> On Sat, Oct 4, 2008 at 10:25 AM, Znupi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Here's what I want: two simple input fields, one labeled "Artist" and > one "Title".
