Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply.
Layout is not dependant on the weight, it is a weird combination of
the text size and the weight. If I give a bigger text, the weight
parameter does not have any use. Sorry for my words, I find it Stupid.
But I am very weak in Layouts, I never could understand why it has to
be so complex to do small things :).
I tried giving a weight of 1 to the second text view, but still I can
find that the text size is the determining factor in deciding the
layout. Weight is doing some random role, which I don't understand.
You will understand if you try this in eclipse and see the layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView android:id="@+id/Text1"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="first text whichis also big"
android:layout_weight="2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" />
<TextView android:id="@+id/Text2"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text=" Veeeeeeery Loooooooong Text that fills
up alll space" />
</LinearLayout>
