Create a Table Layout |
This recipe shows how to programmatically set up a TableLayout to display rows and columns. |
|
- Create a new Xamarin.Android project named HelloTableLayout.
- Open the file Resources/Layout/Main.axml and insert the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:stretchColumns="1">
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:layout_column="1"
android:text="Open..."
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="Ctrl-O"
android:gravity="right"
android:padding="3dip"/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:layout_column="1"
android:text="Save..."
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="Ctrl-S"
android:gravity="right"
android:padding="3dip"/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:layout_column="1"
android:text="Save As..."
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="Ctrl-Shift-S"
android:gravity="right"
android:padding="3dip"/>
</TableRow>
<View
android:layout_height="2dip"
android:background="#FF909090"/>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:text="X"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="Import..."
android:padding="3dip"/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:text="X"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="Export..."
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:text="Ctrl-E"
android:gravity="right"
android:padding="3dip"/>
</TableRow>
<View
android:layout_height="2dip"
android:background="#FF909090"/>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:layout_column="1"
android:text="Quit"
android:padding="3dip"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
Notice how this resembles the structure of an HTML table. The TableLayout
element is like the HTML table element; TableRow is like a tr
element; but for the cells, any kind of View element may be used. In this
example a TextView is being used for each cell. In between each cell there is a
basic View which is used to draw a horizontal line.
- Make sure your HelloTableLayout Activity loads this layout in the
OnCreate()method:
protected override void OnCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate (savedInstanceState);
SetContentView (Resource.Layout.Main);
}
- Run the application. You should see the following:
