I am trying to display one view in the left side and one to the right side of the parent layout as following:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="left"
android:layout_gravity="left" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="right"
android:layout_gravity="right" />
</LinearLayout>
But as a result I see both textViews aligned to the left only. I don't understand why. I manage to set the verticaly layout_gravity but not the horizontal one. In addition, I could add:
android:gravity="right"
to the parent layout and than see both views on the right side but couldnt find a way to display one in the left side and one in the right side.
Please help.
Another trick here;
Place an invisible View between the TextViews. And it will occupy the whole remaining area with android:layout_weight="1", so TextViews will remain on both ends. No gravity needed. Try the code below :)
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="left" />
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="right" />
</LinearLayout>
