Hi! I'm trying to use weights on my linear layout to lay things on a fixed width without relying on measures (px or dp).
Here's my layout: <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@color/translucent_grey"> <TextView android:text="TextView" android:id="@+id/filter_text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingLeft="15px" android:layout_weight="4"></ TextView> <Spinner android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/ filter_spinner" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="3"></Spinner> <EditText android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/ editText1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="3"> <requestFocus></requestFocus> </EditText> <ImageButton android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/ imageButton1" android:src="@drawable/trash" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_weight="1"></ ImageButton> </LinearLayout> So my idea is to have fixed width per component (for the spinner, text, edit and image). But I found out that this does not work :( My textview has a dynamic size (depending on the text added) and that is pushing the other elements to the right. What I was expecting is to have enough room for the text, and make it fixed, no matter how many chars it has, the width would be fixed and aligned. What do I need to fix for that?
