TextView Not Always Expanding To A Second Line In TableLayout

I have an app that is pulling information from a json file: { 'EVENTS': [ { 'what': ' TABLE-QUIZ', 'who': 'anyone', 'when': '31st Janua

Solution 1:

The problem is that you set TableLayout's width (parent's width) to wrap_content. Setting it to match_parent like this

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    ...

makes When column go to the next line without being cut off.

Solution 2:

You need to view the full data means add this on Textview

android:singleLine="false" 

Hope this one will helps you.

Solution 3:

Change android:layout_weight to 1 and android:layout_width in all the TextViews to 0dp, so that layout_weight="1" property can work.

Hope this helps!
