I have a table which is intended to display a name followed by a value. The names should appear on the left of the row and the values on the right. Here is an example:
This is my XML
code:
<TableRow>
<TextView android:id="@+id/property_type_label"
android:text="@string/property_type_label"
android:padding="3dip" />
<TextView android:id="@+id/property_type"
android:text="@string/property_type"
android:gravity="right"
android:padding="3dip" />
</TableRow>
<View
android:layout_height="2dip"
android:background="#FF909090" />
</TableLayout>
The problem is that I cannot view the strings associated with the secondary TextView
the TableRow
. Ideally, a solution exists that does not involve a lot of manual padding
. Also, android:layout_gravity="right"
does not solve this problem.
Use the gravity for TextView instead of layout_gravity with weight to assign half of layout of each TextView
<TableRow>
<TextView android:id="@+id/property_type_label"
android:text="@string/property_type_label"
android:padding="3dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="left" />
<TextView android:id="@+id/property_type"
android:text="@string/property_type"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="right"/>
</TableRow>
