Thanks to this https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-developers/QgN2B9CdQOo/0xdpwulIdCcJ from Tor Norbe I was able to figure out how to get this working. I think then main issue that was causing this to not work was I wasn't using the right namespace which should be xmlns:app= "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto";.
Here is an example that now works: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout xmlns:android= "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"; android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" app:columnCount="2" app:useDefaultMargins="true" > <TextView app:layout_column="0" app:layout_gravity="left" app:layout_row="0" android:text="Label" /> <TextView android:layout_width="0dp" app:layout_column="1" app:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal" app:layout_row="0" android:text="test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test" /> </android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout> On Thursday, April 12, 2012 9:27:53 AM UTC-6, Scott Olcott wrote: > > Where are you finding the documentation?
