    <p>I've got a problem with an android layout.</p> <p>I've got one line with three TextViews: a job title, an age and a date. I want the date to be aligned to the right and the job title to the left. The age should be aligned right to the job title.</p> <p>The problem is that the job title can become very long. I want that it does not overlap the other to views but gets truncated automatically instead. The other two text views should always be visible.</p> <p>Any ideas how I can achieve this? I want my layout to span the whole width of the screen and thus don't want to work with absolute widths.</p> <p>My layout looks as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" &gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Softwaredeveloper and some more very long job titles so that the text overflows" android:id="@+id/occupation" android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical" android:padding="5dp" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:singleLine="true" android:ellipsize="end"/&gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="(32)" android:id="@+id/age" android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical" android:padding="5dp" android:layout_alignParentLeft="false" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/occupation" android:singleLine="true"/&gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="01.02.2013" android:id="@+id/date" android:layout_alignParentLeft="false" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:singleLine="true" android:padding="5dp"/&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>And this is what I get:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/JAZ7F.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

    3. COI've already tried that but didn't achieve what I want. I want that the 'age' textfield is directly right to the 'job title' textfield. With a linear layout with weights both textfields will take up the same amount of space or the proportion of space of the weights of the space I assign to them, but I don't get it right so that there is no space between the job title and the age..

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
