Can someone figure out what is wrong with this TableLayout?

I have this table and it displays some names along with some numbers for weight, cost, and quantity. When I tried to make another row under another heading ("ID Numbers") the rows get all out of whack. If I wrap_content it seems to fix it but then there is another problem, which is why I'm here. The ID number in the cell that has wrap_content WILL NOT fill the rest of the cell. If someone can explain what is wrong with this cell please tell me!

Solution

  • Try this way

    The Error is showing because in ScrollView you can only have one Child (or View) but that one child can contain many other, like this.

    Take one LinearLayout in your ScrollView and in LinearLayout create your two TableLayout. Here LinearLayout will be only one child of ScrollView but LinearLayout will have two childs (Two TableLayouts).
