Solution

  • I found the solution to this on my own. Just use android:stretchColumns="1,2" in table row containing the checkBoxlayout.

    The number 1 and 2 indicates the value of view getting wrapped.

    ex In my case the checkbox is the third view component of table row so used android:stretchColumns="2" this solved my prob :)
