You want to avoid setting specific pixel dimensions especially because of the various screen dimensions you may encounter.
I think this layout will help get you where you need to go. It is a preliminary layout for a listview with three equally spaced buttons at the bottom (<plug>its for a soon to be released new feature of BubbleBeats</plug>). It was somewhat painful getting this sorted out - hopefully this will save you the some ... This example was very helpful to me: http://www.connorgarvey.com/blog/?p=1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <TableLayout android:id="@+id/button_table" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:visibility = "gone"> <TableRow android:layout_weight="1"> <Button android:id="@+id/select_bubble_toggle" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:text="select" /> <Button android:id="@+id/bubble_preview" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:text="preview" /> <Button android:id="@+id/add_bubble" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:text="add" /> </TableRow> </TableLayout> <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_above="@id/button_table" android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" /> </RelativeLayout> Jason Van Anden http://www.BubbleBeats.com On Sun, Nov 8, 2009 at 11:27 AM, Mark Murphy <[email protected]>wrote: > Mark Wyszomierski wrote: > > Is there any style I can set which will make a set of buttons the same > > width (without specifying an explicit size in pixels)?
