How does one create Buttons with Equal Widths?

Question

I want to display three buttons in the middle of a screen, and have the three buttons all be the same width, though they will have text labels of different lengths.

Answer 1

Perhaps the final solution will be to simply have different layout files for different screens, but I'd rather not go down this path.

Many programmers will use res/layout/ and res/layout-large/ for handling situations like this. In the limited case of the three buttons, you might have alternatives, but usually user interfaces aren't quite that simplistic.

So, how does one create buttons with equal widths, preferrably where they are only as wide as necessary to fit the contents of the button with the longest label?

To accomplish your "preferrably" [sic] requirement, you would need to create a custom layout class for that. Here is one related to it, for the dashboard pattern, that you might use as a starting point.
