TableLayout in Android Development

Question

I am having issues in TableLayout, width issues. I tried searching a lot, but all I get is solution using xml. I am doing it programmatically. Here is what I am doing

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    TableLayout table = new TableLayout(this);
    table.setStretchAllColumns(true);
    table.setShrinkAllColumns(true);


    TableRow tableTitle = new TableRow(this);
    tableTitle.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);

    TableRow name = new TableRow(this);
    TableRow password = new TableRow(this);
    TableRow button = new TableRow(this);

    TextView empty = new TextView(this);

    TextView title = new TextView(this);
    title.setText("Hello table layout");
    title.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);

    TextView txtUname = new TextView(this);
    txtUname.setText("Username");

    TextView txtPass = new TextView(this);
    txtPass.setText("Password");


    EditText uname = new EditText(this);
    EditText pass  = new EditText(this);

    Button login = new Button(this);
    login.setText("Login");

    name.addView(txtUname);
    name.addView(uname);

    password.addView(txtPass);
    password.addView(pass);

    button.addView(empty);
    button.addView(login);

    table.addView(name);
    table.addView(password);
    table.addView(button);

    table.setColumnShrinkable(0, true); 

    setContentView(table);
}

I want to shrink first column. What should I add in this code?

Anyone help!

You should consider moving your to layout xml file. This would make your life way easier.

To make only first column shrinkable replace setShrinkAllColumns(true) with setColumnShrinkable(0, true).
