TableLayout - TextView and ImageView inline

Question

I have built an app that dynamically adds TextViews and ImageViews into the TableLayout. I am facing one small issue, I can't get ImageView to be displayed inline with TextView fields. In my fragment I get the results back from a server and display it in the layout.

I have tried several ways such as setting the gravity of TextView to Center vertical like this
I tried limiting the width of the text fields but it won't work.

    firstRow.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);

This is how my rows are populated:

    businessNameRow.addView(businessNameField);

I am adding sets dynamically, each set consists of 7 TextView rows and 1 ImageView in each row as follows:

TableRow firstRow = new TableRow(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
TableRow secondRow = new TableRow(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
TableRow thirdRow = new TableRow(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
TableRow fourthRow = new TableRow(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
TableRow fifthRow = new TableRow(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
TableRow sixthRow = new TableRow(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
TableRow imageRow = new TableRow(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
TableRow seventhRow = new TableRow(getActivity().getApplicationContext());

Then I just add the row to the table

final TableLayout tl = (TableLayout)root.findViewById(R.id.tableResultsGPS);

tl.addView(firstRow); //And so on

My TableLayout is placed within ScrollView so I can scroll through list of results.

Answer 1

Seems like what you are trying to achieve is more suitable with a ListView implementation.

The general idea:

• Create a list item with the layout of an individual item (your textview and image)
• Create a new class that models your each item
• Using a list view, bind the data to the ListView.

There are many tutorials out there. Try this

Side Note: Good suggestion for layout choice would be relative layout for your ListView item. One of my personal favorite because of its flexiblity.
