How to move spinner in LinearLayout to right?

Question

I have code like this:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayoutforPRICE"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Points to win"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />

</LinearLayout>

Currently it looks like that:

I would like to move Spinner to the right side of the LinearLayout. I tried to use:

android:gravity="right"

and

android:gravity="end"

and

android:layout_gravity="right"

and

android:layout_gravity="end"

but it didn't help. Is there any other option to move it to the right? What's also important I want to keep parent layout as Linear (oriented vertically) and current layout as Linear (oriented horizontally).

Hey check this code.

  <LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayoutforPRICE"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="2">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="Points to win"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1" />

</LinearLayout>

Hope this help.Happy coding.

I suggest to use RelativeLayout to this logic:

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayoutforPRICE"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Points to win"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>

</RelativeLayout>

By parent alignments properties (ie layout_alignParentLeft, layout_alignParentRight) you can place components to prefered place

Answer 3

please use relative layout instead of linear layout

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
>

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayoutforPRICE"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="right"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Points to win"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />

</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Answer 4

Set layout_width of Spinner and set layout_weight to TextView.

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayoutforPRICE"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="Points to win"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="50dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

Just channge following changes in your code.

In TextView

layout_width="0dp" 
layout_weight="1"

See Code.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp">

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayoutforPRICE"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        layout_weight="1"
        android:text="Points to win"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner$_points_to_win"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

Change your LinearLayout to the following:

<LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/relativeLayoutforPRICE"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true">
