I guess the problem is that you specified a layout_width and also a layout_weight. If you do not type in enough text the specified layout_width seems to be used wich is wrap_content. If you type in enough text you reach a width which would be greater than the specified layout_weight so at this point the layout_weight attribute counts. To always have the same size of colums try to set the layout_width to 0dpi so only the layout_weight attribute will be used. Then you have to specify a different ratio bewteen the two columns because it seems 1/4 to 3/4 does not seem to fit for the texts in the left column. Maybe you should choose something like 2/5 to 3/5 which means layout_weight=2 for the left column and 3 for the right.
Android: too many characters in an EditText move my views (TableLayout with ViewSwitchers)

Pregunta
I have a TableLayout
to show some data. Each row has two columns: the first one has the field name and the second one has the field value. If any of the fields is clicked I show an EditText
. I do it using a ViewSwitcher
.
When the TextView
/EditText
have just a few characters the view is fine, but if the first line is full the first column (field names) is becomes more narrow and the second column becomes wider. I don't want that to happen, I want my columns to be always the same size.
This is my layout:
<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/formLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TableRow
android:id="@+id/tableRow3"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textLicense"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/license"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<ViewSwitcher
android:id="@+id/licenseSwitcher"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvLicenseVariable"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="LicenseViewClicked"
android:textSize="18sp" />
<com.timeondriver.petrolcontrol.MySpinner
android:id="@+id/spinnerLicense"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:prompt="@string/license_prompt" />
</ViewSwitcher>
</TableRow>
<TableRow
android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/date"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvDateVariable"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="DateViewClicked"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow
android:id="@+id/tableRow2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textPlace"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/place"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<ViewSwitcher
android:id="@+id/placeSwitcher"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvPlaceVariable"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="PlaceViewClicked"
android:textSize="18sp" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editTextPlace"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:maxLines="3"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
/>
</ViewSwitcher>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
This is how the view looks like when the place data is short:
And this is how the view looks like when the place data has too many characters (first line full):
License, date and time rows aren't a problem since their size is limited. The row with the place data is the one that changes the column width when it has too many characters. How can I have always the same width in my columns?
Thanks!
