Grid Layout Width Issue

Question

I have been developing an app for which I also need to handle the UI stuff too.

Heres my XML:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
  <GridLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:columnCount="2" >
    <ImageView />
    <TextView />
    .
    .
  </GridLayout>
</ScrollView>

Now the problem is the width of the right column. It is exceeding the devices' width. For example the name of the mobile which has an attribute of android:layout_gravity set as Center. But its not working as expected as you can see in the screenshot below:

What should I be using to keep the width with in limits as the text is dynamic.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem using a GridLayout with fill_horizontal. The solution for me was to set android:layout_width="0dp" so you might want to try that for all views in your second column.
