[android-developers] Views with the same dip width number have different widths in appearance on device

[Michael Smith]

I have a horizontal linear layout separated with lines like the following:

 *   <View*
*      android:background="@drawable/gradient_white2"*
*      android:layout_height="fill_parent"*
*      android:layout_width="1dip"*
*    />*

In the layout editor, the lines have the same width, however, on the device
they do not - the second line in the layout below is slightly wider than the
other two. I'm wondering if there is an explanation for this or a way around
it.

Here is what the layout looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
  android:background="@drawable/customized_title_bar_button"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:orientation="horizontal"
>
  <ImageButton
    android:background="@drawable/customized_title_bar_button"
    android:id="@+id/home"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/header_logo_small"
  />
  <LinearLayout
    android:background="@drawable/gradient_shape_blue"
    android:gravity="right|center"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
  >
*    <View*
*      android:background="@drawable/gradient_white2"*
*      android:layout_height="fill_parent"*
*      android:layout_width="1dip"*
*    />*
    <ImageButton
      android:background="@drawable/customized_title_bar_button"
      android:id="@+id/map"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:src="@drawable/globe_icon"
    />
 *   <View*
*      android:background="@drawable/gradient_white2"*
*      android:layout_height="fill_parent"*
*      android:layout_width="1dip"*
*    />*
    <ImageButton
      android:background="@drawable/customized_title_bar_button"
      android:id="@+id/saved"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:src="@drawable/saved_icon"
    />
 *   <View*
*      android:background="@drawable/gradient_white2"*
*      android:layout_height="fill_parent"*
*      android:layout_width="1dip"*
*    />*
    <ImageButton
      android:background="@drawable/customized_title_bar_button"
      android:id="@+id/search"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:src="@drawable/search_icon"
    />
  </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Thanks,

Mike
