Spacing in custom keyboard

When making a custom keyboard I can get a leading space (space to the left) of a key by using android:horizontalGap="6.25%p.
How do I get trailing space (space to the right)?

Solution 
  • android:horizontalGap="6.25%p.

    It creates the gap, which is before the key that carries the horizontalGap attribute. ie. leading space (space to the left) of a key.

    eg.

    <Row>        
    <Key android:codes="69"    android:keyLabel="E" android:horizontalGap="6.25%p" />
    <Key android:codes="70"    android:keyLabel="F" />        
</Row>

    Now add a horizontalGap (on Keyboard level) that is greater than 0, the horizontalGap (on Key level) no longer creates a gap before but now after the key that carries the horizontalGap attribute. ie. trailing space (space to the right) of a key
