Table Layout In Android

In this article, we will discuss about table layout in android.

What Is Table Layout?

Table layout is the view group that displays data in rows and columns.

What Is Table Row?

Table row specifies the single row of the table.
A table row contains one or more cells.
Any view or view group can come in cells.

Table Columns

There is no view group that specifies the table column. We can specify the columns by number of views we put in table row.

For example, if we specify 3 textviews inside table row then we have 3 columns in the table.

Layout_Column Attribute

As I have mentioned in the previous section we specify view for columns. But android has come up with an attribute layout_column.

It means the index of the column.
This attribute should be mentioned in child control.
Index starts with zero.

Layout_Span Attribute

This attribute specifies, how many columns, the view will span over.

Example

In this example, we will have one row with 2 columns.
