use of layout_weight without being stretched

Question

I got 7 buttons aligned horizontally in a layout by giving them each a weight of 1. This however stretches the button so the take up the same amount of space on the screen. I need the buttons to remain the good aspect ratio and still take up the whole width by making use of whitespace between the buttons. Is this possible with weight?

Answer 1

If you want to stretch not buttons but space around them, put buttons to containers and set weight to them. Also take a look at TableLayout and GridLayout.
