How do I specify width and height of Android GridLayout cells in relative measures?

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how GridLayout works, but one thing I can\'t figure out from the documentation is how or if one can control the size of the grid cells.

Answer 1

it looks like setting it as you'd like should be fairly straightforward according to the documentation:

android:rowCount='2'
android:columnCount='2'

and in the children set

android:layout_columnSpan="1"
android:layout_rowSpan="1"

This reference also mentions stretching:

To prevent a column from stretching, ensure that one of the components in the column does not define a gravity.

Which would seem like a solution to keep the rows and columns in a 50:50 ratio without resizing according to content
