Question

This is part of my code. Everything would work perfectly if not that some of the checkboxes' texts take two lines and some one line. How do I make them pararell to each other?

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

            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Answer 1

Assign a specific height to the checkboxes say like 100dp (accordingly to your longest text) just make sure it adjusts on different resolutions to make sure the text doesn't overlap the layouts.
