Adding space between columns of a TableLayout

Question

I have a TableLayout where I add dynamically TableRows. In each TableRow, I add a Button.

I just would like to add some space between my columns (which are my buttons) but I can't figure out how... I've tried to change all the possible margins but it doesn't work :( So maybe I made a mistake in my code where I inflate them from XML files:

private void createButtons(final CategoryBean parentCategory) {
    final List<CategoryBean> categoryList = parentCategory.getCategoryList();
    title.setText(parentCategory.getTitle());
    // TODO à revoir
    int i = 0;
    TableRow tr = null;
    Set<TableRow> trList = new LinkedHashSet<TableRow>();
    for (final CategoryBean category : categoryList) {

        TextView button = (TextView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.button_table_row_category, null);
        button.setText(category.getTitle());
        if (i % 2 == 0) {
            tr = (TableRow) inflater.inflate(R.layout.table_row_category, null);
            tr.addView(button);
        } else {
            tr.addView(button);
        }

        trList.add(tr);

        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                CategoryBean firstChild = category.getCategoryList() != null && !category.getCategoryList().isEmpty() ? category
                        .getCategoryList().get(0) : null;
                if (firstChild != null && firstChild instanceof QuestionsBean) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(CategoryActivity.this, QuestionsActivity.class);
                    intent.putExtra(MainActivity.CATEGORY, category);
                    startActivityForResult(intent, VisiteActivity.QUESTION_LIST_RETURN_CODE);
                } else {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(CategoryActivity.this, CategoryActivity.class);
                    intent.putExtra(MainActivity.CATEGORY, category);
                    startActivityForResult(intent, VisiteActivity.CATEGORY_RETURN_CODE);
                }
            }
        });
        i++;
    }
    for (TableRow tableRow : trList) {
        categoryLaout.addView(tableRow);
    }
}

My button_table_row_category.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/buttonTableRowCategory"
    style="@style/ButtonsTableRowCategory"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:text="@string/validate" />

My table_row_category.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/tableRowCategory"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="100dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:padding="5dp" >

</TableRow>

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Try android:layout_marginRight="6dp" this worked for me.
