Given the recent discovery with the cupcake emulator I'm trying to re-work
the layout file so it's cupcake friendly and future proofed, but have hit a
problem.
What I want is for 6 buttons to take up a total of three quarters of the
screen width, but I can't seem to find the measurement unit which correlates
to this. All I've found is;
px : Not screen resolution independent, so something that works on a
320x480 screen won't take 3/4s of the screen on different resolution
display.
dip : Scales with pixel density and not screen resolution, so the object
won't scale up as the physical screen size gets bigger.
Pt, in & mm : Don't scale with screen size so a 1 unit button is the same
size on a 3 or 30 inch screen.
sp : Based on font size and there's no guaranteed correlation between font
width and screen width.
The closest I've got is the following;
<TableLayout android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TableRow>
<Button android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/button2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/button3"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/button4"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/button5"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/button6"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
But this results in buttons with uneven widths which is not what I'm after.
Does anyone have a solution?
Al.
