Hi everybody! I have played around a bit with the xml files for creating layouts and can't explain the behaviour of layout_weight when using it in a LinearLayout that has orientation="vertical"
When creating a layout that is horizontal everything follows the documentation, that a child would get more space if it's has the highest value. But the following code for vertical orientation, give more space to the item with lowest weight. <?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"> <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="3"> <TextView android:text="test" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:background="#aa0000" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="2"> <TextView android:text="test" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:background="#00aa00" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> And the question is: Is this a bug or just a feature that maybe need more documentation?
