Hi, I'm trying to create a screen with a listview and two buttons on it. I tried the following combination in main.xml and it seemed to work right (with the listview taking up ~80% of the height and the two buttons ~10% each)
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" ....... <ListView android:id="@+id/android:list" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0.8" ......... <Button android:id="@+id/test1" android:text="@string/ test1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0.1" ........ and similarly for button2 ------------ Then, I tried increasing the button weights to 0.3 each and I reduced the listview weight to 0.4. With these changes, my expectation was that the listview would take 40% of the screen height and that the buttons would take 30% each. However, after the changes, the listview took up even more space than before. So I could see more list elements on the first screen now (though the listview weight was now only 40% and it had been 80% earlier) The two buttons shrunk in height and so the button text wasn't drawn Does anyone know why increasing the layout_weight of the two buttons (from 10% to 30% each) decreased the height of the buttons (and why decreasing the layout_weight of the listview increased its height) Thanks Ram --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
