I am new to Android Development and I am having trouble with my XML Layout... when I inly have rows with text and edittext the layout stays ok, but once I put the row with the buttons the lower rows just disappear below the screen and the rows render way apart from each other... what am I doing wrong?
The iPhone version of my app shows the layout I am trying to achieve...

Are you sure that you added the drawables @calbuttonbluesquare and clearbuttonbluesquare to your list? Also, they should be in a supported format? Try just putting each button on it's own view as a test, to make sure it's showing up right first.
I think you either need to
- Set your
TableLayout
's layout_height
and layout_width
to fill_parent
, or
- Wrap the
TableLayout
inside a ScrollView
.
I might be wrong since I'm not very familiar with TableLayout
s, but these would be my guesses.
I am usure of what made my XML file work properly... however, the use of DIP as mesure instead of pixels was what seemed to make the difference... The modified code for inspection is posted here. I was going to attach an screenshot of the final product, I have no screenshot of the not-working version, but my reputation is not high enough to do it.
Code:
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/fatRow" >
<TextView android:layout_column="0" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/textView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:text="fat" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|right" android:gravity="right" android:layout_marginRight="5dip" android:textColor="#FFFFFF"></TextView>
