Aligning items in cardview


I want my card to look like the following

enter image description here

I kept my layout like this

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
        >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal">
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Order# GAMH2103"
            android:layout_marginStart="5dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
            android:gravity="start"
            android:textSize="15dp"/>

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Confirmed"
                android:drawableRight="@drawable/check"
                android:textColor="#00FF00"
                android:gravity="end"
                android:textSize="15dp"/>

        </LinearLayout>
            <View
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="1dp"
                android:background="@android:color/darker_gray"
                android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
                />

        </LinearLayout>

Somehow, i am not able to get the "confirmed" TextView visible. I can see the order# though.

I have played with the gravity and layout_gravity but somehow couldn't get through.

Please help.

Thanks, Lakshman.


Solution

  • Use the following layout.This will work for you.

    It is always preferred to use Relative Layout instead of Linear layout for better view alignment .

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp">
    
        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    
            <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Order# GAMH2103"
                android:layout_marginStart="5dp"
                android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
                android:gravity="start"
                android:textSize="15dp"/>
    
            <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Confirmed"
                android:textColor="#00FF00"
                android:gravity="end"
                android:textSize="15dp"/>
    
    
        </RelativeLayout>
    
        </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
