    <p>I'm writing an application for Android phones for Human vs. Human chess play over the internet. I was looking at some tutorials, to learn how to develop Android applications and found a very nice example of making galleries (it was a GridView usage example for making a gallery about dogs) and the idea came to draw the chess table using a GridView, because the example project also handled the point &amp; click event and I intended to use the same event in the same way, but for a different purpose. The game works well (currently it's a hotseat version), however, I'm really frustrated by the fact that whenever I rotate the screen of the phone, my GridView gets hysterical and puts some empty space in my chess table between the columns. I realized that the cause of this is that the GridView's width is the same as its parent's and the GridView tries to fill its parent in with, but there should (and probably is) be a simple solution to get rid of this problem. However, after a full day of researching, I haven't found any clue to help me to make a perfect drawing about my chess table without a negative side effect in functionality. The chess table looks fine if the phone is in Portrait mode, but in Landscape mode it's far from nice. This is how I can decide whether we are in Portrait or Landscape mode:</p> <pre><code>((((MainActivity)mContext).getWindow().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth()) &lt; ((MainActivity)mContext).getWindow().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight()) </code></pre> <p>In the main.xml file the GridView is defined in the following way:</p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" &gt; &lt;GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/gridview" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:numColumns="8" android:verticalSpacing="0dp" android:horizontalSpacing="0dp" android:stretchMode="columnWidth" android:gravity="center" &gt; &lt;/GridView&gt; ... &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>I appreciate any help with the problem and thank you for reading this.</p> <p>Portrait: <a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?f388b3ec64.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?f388b3ec64.png</a></p> <p>Landscape: <a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?ee790603a2.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?ee790603a2.png</a></p>

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.
