WANTED: TableLayout-Like ListView

Question

My question might be, \"How does one create a single-line horizontal LinearLayout with two single-line non-wrapping TextViews, where the left TextView always occupies 1/3 of

Answer 1

hackbod presents another good-looking argument as to why ListViews cannot layout rows like TableViews in an answer to the question Does Android have a Table like Adapter for ListView.

Answer 2

The best I can come up with is to have a row.xml that looks something like this. It's not ideal, but it will keep the rows with a fixed width, which will scale on a change of dimensions, but not based off of the text. It'll give you 80% of a Table Layout, with the benefits of a ListView.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left|center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="10px"
android:paddingTop="10px"
android:paddingLeft="3px">
 <TextView
    android:id="@+id/TextView01"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_weight=1
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textSize="15dip"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textColor="#d08021"
    android:paddingLeft="20dip">
 </TextView>
 <TextView

    android:id="@+id/TextView02"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_weight=3
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
    android:textSize="15dip"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textColor="#7f0000">
 </TextView>

</LinearLayout>

Answer 3

You can use TableLayout and make it to behave like ListView (at least visually). Here is my answer.

Answer 4

I think this tutorial will help you. Try this..

Your row.xml should look like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left|center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="10px"
android:paddingTop="10px"
android:paddingLeft="3px">
 <TextView
    android:id="@+id/TextView01"
    android:layout_width="70dip"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textSize="15dip"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textColor="#d08021"
    android:paddingLeft="20dip">
 </TextView>
 <TextView

    android:id="@+id/TextView02"
    android:layout_width="200dip"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
    android:textSize="15dip"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textColor="#7f0000">
 </TextView>

</LinearLayout>

You need this type of layout right ? Correct me if i am not wrong.
