  1. POHow to fit text inside button when using layout_weight?
    text
    copied!<p>I am using a linear layout, with orientation =vertical, I have 3 buttons inside this linear layout with different weights(so that 3 of them fill the page horizontally). Because I want the button to look shorter, I set the height to 42 dip. It is looking fine in a big screen device, but when I test it on a very small screen device, half of the words in the middle button disappear because of the sizing issue. How do I solve this?</p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout android:id="@+id/StatisticsButtons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="10dip" android:orientation="horizontal" &gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/viewAllBtn" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="42dip" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@drawable/button_for_statistic" android:text="View All" android:textColor="@drawable/button_text_color_statistic" android:textSize="17dip" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/viewPartialBtn" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="42dip" android:layout_marginLeft="10dip" android:layout_weight="1.3" android:background="@drawable/button_for_statistic" android:text="View partial record" //"View partial" displayed , I guess the screen is too "narrow" to display the "record" android:textColor="@drawable/button_text_color_statistic" android:textSize="17dip" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/viewLeaveBtn" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="42dip" android:layout_marginLeft="10dip" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@drawable/button_for_statistic" android:text="Leave" android:textColor="@drawable/button_text_color_statistic" android:textSize="17dip" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p> </p> <pre><code>&lt;item android:state_pressed="true"&gt;&lt;shape&gt; &lt;solid android:color="#0033d434" /&gt; &lt;stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#aaa22f" /&gt; &lt;corners android:radius="2dp" /&gt; &lt;padding android:bottom="10dp" android:left="10dp" android:right="10dp" android:top="10dp" /&gt; &lt;/shape&gt;&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;&lt;shape&gt; &lt;solid android:color="#aaa22f" /&gt; &lt;corners android:radius="2dp" /&gt; &lt;padding android:bottom="10dp" android:left="10dp" android:right="10dp" android:top="10dp" /&gt; &lt;/shape&gt;&lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p></p>
