2-column TableLayout with 50% exactly for each column

Question

This one puzzles me since my first steps with Android. I can\'t make both columns in a 2-column TableLayout exact 50% each.

Here\'s an example:

Answer 1

The columns in the android table always adjust to the widest view which in any row. There are no explicit controls here of the columns. Grid view has more control of the column size such as: android:columnWidth="100dp"

If the left and righ view in the table would be set to the same size then a centered table could have two 50% spaced columns.
