Menu
i would like to have three buttons taking equal amount of available space horizontally in a row. I used android:layout_gravity. What is the problem?
layout xml :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" android:weightSum="1.0" > <Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/Bg" android:background="@drawable/button_red" android:layout_weight=".2" android:layout_gravity="left" /> <Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/Bm" android:background="@drawable/button_red" android:layout_weight=".2" android:textColor="#ffffff" android:layout_gravity="center" /> <Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/button_red" android:layout_weight=".2" android:text="@string/Bf" android:layout_gravity="right" /> </LinearLayout> if someone see whats wrong, thanks.

I suggest you use LinearLayout's weightSum attribute. Adding the tag android:weightSum="3" to your LinearLayout's xml declaration and then android:layout_weight="1" to your Buttons will result in the 3 buttons being evenly distributed.
Use android:layout_marginTop="10.0dip" on second button.
If you are placing the buttons inside the LinearLayout, give the Orientation value as "Vertical", it will automatically place the buttons in the same line. If you are using RelativeLayout, then for one button use android:layout_toLeftOf OR android:layout_toRightOf and give value as ID of other button.
good answer. Small improvement: use a <Space android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="1dp" android:layout_weight="1" > </Space> instead of a <View> to make your objective clearer in your XML.
The following layout should work. weights are for LinearLayouts..
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" android:weightSum="3" > <Button android:id="@+id/button1" ... android:layout_weight="1"/> <Button android:id="@+id/button2" ... android:layout_weight="1"/> <Button android:id="@+id/button3" ... android:layout_weight="1"/> </LinearLayout> If you love us?
