Why is TextView wrapping when gravity is set to left?

Question

I'm having an issue where my textview is wrapping a word when the gravity is set to left. I want it to just display the word without any wrapping.

A visual of what I want:

Currency     Balance     Held     Value

But this is what I'm getting:

C            Balance     Held     Value
u
r
...

Here's my XML:

<TableRow
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="left"
        android:text="Currency" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview2"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="Balance" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview3"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="Held"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview4"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:text="Value" />
</TableRow>

Any ideas?

Just add this properties android:weightSum="4" to your TableRow layout and this properties value depends on no of child you have.
