Set maximum width of Linear Layout

Question

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
<EditText 
    android:id="@+string/urlText"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:hint="Enter Url Here"/>
<Button
 android:id="@+string/go"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="Go"/>
<WebView
 android:id="@+string/webView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    />
</LinearLayout>

So with the above android layout, I am not able to make the editbox and button to be to the full width of the container. About 50 px from the left and the right are not filled.

Any sugestions

Answer 1

Is your app running in compatibility mode? From your description it sounds like it is, which would explain why it has HVGA dimensions (320x480).

Answer 2

So, I figured it out.

I went to the manifest file and added attributes for Supports Screens:

<supports-screens 
    android:largeScreens="true" 
    android:normalScreens="false" 
    android:smallScreens="false" 
    android:resizeable="true" 
    android:anyDensity="true">
</supports-screens>

Thanks to Romain Guy for mentioning compability mode :) Everything works now like a charm.
