TableLayout Tweak. Is it possible?

Question

I have a table layout with five columns and many rows with dynamic content.

We notice that each column takes the width of the maximum of all cells of that column.

I do not want horizontal scrolling but I want to detect when the total width has been exceeded so I can remove one of the columns.

Is this possible?

You could call measure() on the TableLayout yourself and check the result with getMeasuredWidth/Height.

Say I measured each row... I need to know if its possible to remove a column without reproducing the whole table? – Sherif elKhatib Jul 25 '11 at 09:42
You can just collapse that column, TableLayout has an API for that. – Romain Guy Jul 26 '11 at 05:50

If you are adding each row in a loop, then I guess you could do something like:

int longestRowWidth = 0;

for(i=0; i<6; i++) 
{

    // Add your row here

    // Get the width of your new row here
    int rowWidth = blablah


    // Check if it exceeds longestRowWidth
    if(rowWidth > longestRowWidth)
    {
        // Do your stuff here.
    }
}

how to do "blablah" is what this question is about I think :) – denis.solonenko Jul 25 '11 at 08:58
That´s a tough one, because Android hasn´t drawn the column yet, it has just been declared, therefore it has no width nor height. – soren.qvist Jul 25 '11 at 09:06
