Table layout

Sometimes a table layout is the ideal way of laying out your view widgets.

Layout xml file for your table layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:stretchColumns="1">

    <TableRow>

        <TextView
            android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
            android:text="Ans"/>

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/userAns"
            android:layout_span="3"
            android:inputType="text"/>
    </TableRow>

    <View
        android:layout_height="2dp"
        android:background="#0000FF"/>

    <TableRow>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/cancel"
            android:layout_column="2"
            android:text="Cancel"/>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/ok"
            android:text="OK"/>
    </TableRow>

</TableLayout>

The onCreate method of the activity file for the above table layout

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }
