How do I prevent an EditText from resizing itself when the user is typing?

Question

I have an EditText and a Button set next to each other on the same horizontal line. It looks great, except when the user enters a lot of text, the EditText is resized, and the Button is squished.

I have both EditText and Button set to layout_width="wrap_content". "fill_parent" messes up the layout, and I don't want to use absolute sizes if I don't have to - the way it is now looks great in both landscape and portrait, I just don't want the EditText to resize.

My layout:

<TableLayout     android:id="@+id/homelayout"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent" >      <TableRow>         <TextView             android:id="@+id/labelartist"             android:layout_width="fill_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:text="Find artists:" />     </TableRow>     <TableRow>         <EditText             android:id="@+id/entryartist"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:layout_weight="6"             android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"             android:editable="true"             android:padding="5px"             android:singleLine="true" />         <Button             android:id="@+id/okartist"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:layout_alignParentRight="true"             android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"             android:layout_weight="1"             android:text="Search" />     </TableRow>  </TableLayout>

For EditText use

android:layout_width="0dp" - not required but preferred. android:layout_weight="1" 

And for Button dont specify android:layout_weight
