I have 5 items.
I want to center all of them horizontally and make them packed to each other.
I know in constraint layout I would create a horizontal chain and app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle=”packed”
But is it possible to do with LinearLayout
? how?
here is my try:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:layout_gravity="center"
tools:showIn="@layout/activity_main">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="DOT" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="BBB" />
</LinearLayout>
but it's not packed in the middle:
Use android:gravity="center"
in your LinearLayout.
You have to put the textviews into another linealayout
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="horizontal"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="DOT" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="BBB" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
