Setting column width in Table View

Question

I am having a hard time understanding how to change the width of columns when creating a table view.

I know you can set the width in pixels of a column but that is not what I want to do.

Say, for instance, I have 2 columns and want each column to take up half the screen. How do I do this without explicitly setting the pixels, so that my code can work on multiple screen sizes?

Answer 1

With a TableLayout? You can't do that easily. The closest you can get is to use android:stretchColumns="*" on your TableLayout element. That should allocate any extra whitespace evenly between the two columns.
