Questions tagged [android-tablelayout]

The TableLayout is one of the layouts on the Android platform that arranges its children into rows and columns.

The TableLayout arranges its children into rows (the number of rows is given by the number of direct children, usually TableRows) and columns (where the number of columns is given by the TableRow with the biggest number of views in it).

Normally TableLayout consists of multiple TableRow objects, each defining a row. Each row has zero or more cells and each cell can hold one View. Cells can span over multiple columns. The width of a column is by default defined by the widest view in that column.

The TableLayout can also specify various rules to modify the way the columns use the space available to them (or even make them disappear). When using the TableLayout, care must be taken regarding the LayoutParams used as the TableLayout, which imposes some constraints on its children. More information can be found in the documentation for the TableLayout class.

This is an Android specific class, not present in JavaSE.
