I believe I found a solution to your problem. The weight attribute of linearlayouts (http://d.android.com/reference/android/widget/ LinearLayout.LayoutParams.html) unfortunately only extends views, and therefore the your attempt does not work, because the textviews are to wide to begin with. I found that it worked to simply set android:width="0px", and then let the weight-attribute do its work.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <TableRow> <TextView android:text="ab ab abc abcabc ab" android:background="#FFFF0000" android:width="0px" android:gravity="center" android:layout_weight="0.5"/> <TextView android:text="ab ab abc abcabc in aaaaa aaaa aaaaaa aaaaa aaaaaa" android:width="0px" android:background="#FF00FFFF" android:layout_weight="0.5" android:gravity="center"/> </TableRow> </TableLayout> On 14 Jan., 06:47, kknight <[email protected]> wrote: > I want to create atablewith one row and two column.
