Android Table Layout with columns of equal width

Today, I would like to show you a possibility of how to design an XML Table Layout for Android with columns of the same width.

The key lies in the specifications layout_width="0dip" and layout_weight="1". In the following example, we have three columns with the same width containing a TextView:

<tablelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:stretchColumns="1">

    <TableRow
        android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="10dp" >

      <!-- Column 1 -->
      <TextView
         android:id="@+id/textView1"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_width="0dip"
         android:layout_weight="1"
         android:text="Column 1" />
         
      <!-- Column 2 -->
      <TextView
         android:id="@+id/textView2"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_width="0dip"
         android:layout_weight="1"
         android:text="Column 2" />
         
      <!-- Column 3 -->
      <TextView
         android:id="@+id/textView3"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_width="0dip"
         android:layout_weight="1"
         android:text="Column 3" />
    </TableRow>

    <!-- more rows
    <TableRow ... </TableRow>
    -->
</TableLayout>

You can add more rows by copying and editing the TableRow section from "<TableRow" to "</TableRow>" to the commented part  "more rows".
