So I am having problems with some XML layout coding... I am supposed to replicate this image
but so far I seem to be only able to get this far and the checkout button refuses to stay to the right even when I do use android:gravity="right" to float right within its container... :/
This is the code I have so far:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".CartActivity" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:text="Shopping Cart"
android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_dark" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_light"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Subtotal:" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#800000"
android:text="£???" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/checkout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="Checkout" >
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
use a android:weightSum="3"
for your inner
Layout with the three elements, and after that,
android:layout_weight="1"
to each view
this will make the views to hold 1/3 of the available space
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_light"
android:weightSum="3"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Subtotal:"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#800000"
android:text="£???"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/checkout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="Checkout"
android:layout_weight="1">
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
EDIT fill_parent is deprecated use match_parent
