[android help] Nest TableLayout inside LinearLayout - is it possible?

I want to produce an Android screen layout that looks something like the following: Label Text Field Label Text Field Label Text Field -----Button------- -----TextField---- That is, I want to have a TableLayout at the top, with a number of items underneath the table layout (mainly so I can force these items to be at the bottom of the screen). I have tried to nest them as in the code below, but the items at the bottom don't seem to appear. Any ideas? xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> android:layout_width="match_parent" android:stretchColumns="1" android:shrinkColumns="1" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"> android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /> android:text="Not available" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /> android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/> android:text="Not available" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/> android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/> android:text="Not available" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/> android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/> android:text="Not available" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/> edited Jul 20 '11 at 20:37 asked Jul 20 '11 at 15:31

	in your table layout add these android:layout_height="80dp" android:layout_weight="1.0" also for the bottom button and and text view add fixed height.If your table needs more space then put it between scrollView answered Jul 20 '11 at 15:43

	You can try to do it with Droid Draw its free and It will generate the right xml for you. answered Jul 20 '11 at 15:45

Set the weight of the table to "1", and the height to "0dp". android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_weight="1" android:shrinkColumns="1" android:stretchColumns="1" > ... android:id="@+id/save" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Save" /> android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Test" /> answered Jan 24 at 17:13

	for textfield you have to use EditText in place of TextView and add android:layout_height and android:layout_width to each widget used in your application with regards ajay answered 4 mins ago
