You may want to define the sizes of the columns by using a weight. So you will define the table layout height to fill parent but for each column you should set the width to “0px” and the weight to the percentage you want the column to span. So assuming you want the first column … Read more
**EDIT: This line was correct when this answer was written, but no longer applies to 99.9%+ of all Android devices: There is no GridLayout in the Android API. ** (Note: As of API level 14, there finally is GridLayout; see the answers below. In addition, the V7 support library adds GridLayout support down to API … Read more
Yes, a table row can slide up and down, but it’s ugly since it changes the shape of the table and makes everything jump. Instead, put an element in each td, something that makes sense like a p or h2 etc. As for implementing a table slide toggle… It’s probably simplest to put the click … Read more

The TextView will wrap the text if the column it’s in is set to shrink. Sometimes it does not wrap exactly, if the text ends with “, …”, then it is a little bit longer than exactly n lines.

Try this. It boils down to adding android:stretchColumns=”*” to your TableLayout root and setting android:layout_width=”0dp” to all the children in your TableRows. <TableLayout android:stretchColumns=”*” // Optionally use numbered list “0,1,2,3,…” > <TableRow android:layout_width=”0dp” >
The CSS table model is based on the HTML table model http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html A table is divided into ROWS, and each row contains one or more cells. Cells are children of ROWS, they are NEVER children of columns. “display: table-column” does NOT provide a mechanism for making columnar layouts (e.g. newspaper pages with multiple columns, where … Read more
If the text you’re putting in the TextView is short, it will not automatically expand to four lines. If you want the TextView to always have four lines regardless of the length of the text in it, set the android:lines attribute: <TextView android:id=”@+id/address1″ android:gravity=”left” android:layout_height=”fill_parent” android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:maxLines=”4″ android:lines=”4″ android:text=”Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing … Read more
My solution for this problem is to put an xml drawable resource on the background field of every cell. In this manner you could define a shape with the border you want for all cells. The only inconvenience is that the borders of the extreme cells have half the width of the others but it’s … Read more
