Making use of TableLayout in Android ( PART - 2 )

We learnt to make table with two rows and single column in the previous post. Now we will learn how to split the row into columns .

If you followed the previous tutorial to make a Table with single column , then making a Table with multiple columns is simple .

Step 1 : We just have to include two or more TextViews in a single TableRow . We will make a Table as shown in the below screenshot .

Add the code to activity_main.xml in res->layout .The code for the above screenshot is given below :

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

  <TableRow 
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:gravity="center_horizontal" >

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/TextView04"
                        android:layout_weight="1"
                        android:background="#00FF00"
                        android:gravity="center"
                        android:padding="5dip"
                        android:text="HEADER 1"
                        android:textColor="#000000"
                        android:textStyle="bold" />

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/TextView04"
                        android:layout_weight="1"
                        android:background="#00FF00"
                        android:gravity="center"
                        android:padding="5dip"
                        android:text="HEADER 2"
                        android:textColor="#000000"
                        android:textStyle="bold" />
                </TableRow>

                <TableRow
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:gravity="center_horizontal" >

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/TextView04"
                        android:layout_weight="1"
                        android:background="#b0b0b0"
                        android:gravity="center"
                        android:padding="5dip"
                        android:text="ELEMENT 1"
                        android:textColor="#000000" />

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/TextView04"
                        android:layout_weight="1"
                        android:background="#a09f9f"
                        android:gravity="center"
                        android:padding="5dip"
                        android:text="ELEMENT 2"
                        android:textColor="#000000" />
                </TableRow>

                <TableRow
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:gravity="center_horizontal" >

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/TextView04"
                        android:layout_weight="1"
                        android:background="#b0b0b0"
                        android:gravity="center"
                        android:padding="5dip"
                        android:text="ELEMENT 3"
                        android:textColor="#000000" />

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/TextView04"
                        android:layout_weight="1"
                        android:background="#a09f9f"
                        android:gravity="center"
                        android:padding="5dip"
                        android:text="ELEMENT 3"
                        android:textColor="#000000" />
                </TableRow>        
            </TableLayout>
