I am trying to create the following XML layout.
<?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="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:weightSum="2">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Hello"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Hello"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Hello"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Hello"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I am expecting the first TextView
and the inner LinearLayout
to take up equal amounts of space but that is not happening. Image.
Can someone please suggest any fixes?
Try this once-
<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="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="2"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Hello" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="3">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Hello" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Hello" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Hello" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
