I noticed that when I put an EditText
(or two) inside a single TableLayout
row, the text won't wrap.
I'd like to understand what's going on here, and if there's any correct way to use a multi-line EditText
(or two) inside a TableRow
.
The below layout file:
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TableRow>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:hint="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
android:minLines="3" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
results in the following layout with no wrap (I presume the View
is actually stretching beyond the right bounds of the screen.):
However, either adding android:stretchColumns="0"
or omitting the TableRow
tag works for one EditText
but not two:
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:hint="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
android:minLines="3" />
</TableLayout>
Try using this as an EditText attribute:
android:scrollHorizontally="false"
