This is how I'd do it. I'm assuming you want your widget to take up one half, and another widget to take up the other half. The trick is using a LinearLayout, setting layout_width="fill_parent" on both widgets, and setting layout_weight to the same value on both widgets as well. If there are two widgets, both with the same weight, the LinearLayout will split the width between the two widgets.
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
If your widget is a Button:
ReplyDelete<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="somebutton">
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="Wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
</LinearLayout>
