I want to place a textview on the right of a layout and on the left of a layout, but they keep stacking ontop of each other:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/lefttext"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Symbol"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/righttext"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Price"/>
</LinearLayout>
Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/left_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Symbol"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/right_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Price"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Why are you specifying 0dip for the height on these?
For symbols on sides:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/left_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="5dip"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="Symbol"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/right_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="5dip"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="Price"
/>
</LinearLayout>
And done with a RelativeLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/left_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dip"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="Code"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/right_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dip"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/left_text"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="Company Name"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
With LinearLayout, just put an empty TextView with the weight between them:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/lefttext"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Symbol"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/righttext"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Price"/>
</LinearLayout>
