  1. POAndroid Best Way to do Multicolumn ListView using Percentage Sizing
    text
    copied!<p>I have tried the recommended approach for percentage sizing of rows in LinearLayout using layout_weight, with no success when wrapped in a ListView. The row layout XML looks fine in Eclipse preview, but the columns are run together in the actual test app. </p> <p>However, if I wrap the ListView in a TableLayout and TableRow, then it works.</p> <p>Attached is the main view layout XML that works. If you remove TableLayout and TableRow by removing the comment tags, it fails.</p> <p>Can anyone explain what is going on?</p> <p>Are there better ways to do this?</p> <p>===== Row Layout =====</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;!-- row.xml --&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:paddingTop="4dip" android:paddingBottom="6dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:weightSum="100" android:orientation="horizontal"&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/one" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="25" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" android:text="One" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/two" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="25" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" android:text="Two" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/three" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="50" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" android:text="Three" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>===== Main Layout =====</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" &gt; &lt;TableLayout android:id="@+id/mainlist" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:stretchColumns="0" android:paddingTop="4px" &gt; &lt;TableRow&gt; &lt;ListView android:id="@+id/lview" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" &gt; &lt;/ListView&gt; &lt;/TableRow&gt; &lt;/TableLayout&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre>
