@Jhon Davis and @ibendlin thanks for your responses. @Jhon Davis , the problem is more complex that I said, because the component have to distribute a complete paragraph with aleatorie size (at least 200 characters and forward) in minumum two columns and forward, further more you can should rise the letter font sizes, so this will rise the number of columns and expand themself. So , only put a number of predeterminat columns is not so well. I'm thinking what component is the best to be the column, i mean, a TextView (with a set number of lines) inside a LinearLayout or a list as much than will i need ?, and write and algorithm to fill the necesary columns depend on the paragraph sizes and font sizes. Any pointers on this? Thanks a lot! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
