hm... i think i'm missing something here. how do i specify layout_width as "the rest of the space that's left"
I have a button of fixed size (or wrap_content) on the left, a textview in the middle, and another button of fixed size on the right. i want to tell the text view that its layout_width should be the space that's left between the two fixed size buttons. not sure how specifying "layout_toRightOf" would help in this scenario... I can get it to work if I hard code the dimensions, but I'd rather do something a little bit more flexible.
