This has been stumping me for a while, and I'm not sure how to fix it.
Supposing I have the following layout: 2 ImageViews with a TextView under each ImageView. The images are being retrieved remotely. I would like each ImageView to take about 40% of the width of the Activity they're in, with white space under them. The TextViews will be about 5% smaller, centered below each ImageView.
What I tried:
Put each pair of ImageView and TextView in their own LinearLayout, so 2 LinearLayouts, with each LinearLayout's layout_width set to fill_parent and equal layout_weight (0.5) for both. Each ImageView had a layout_width of fill_parent and a layout_margin of 15dip. layout_height was set to wrap_content (this was the parameter I wasn't sure how to set).
That worked fine but the problem was that all the incoming images were of different sizes and ratios, so they looked weird side by side.
I proceeded to set: android:scaleType="centerCrop" android:adjustViewBounds="true"
That helped but each ImageView was still different size sometimes. At this point, I just put each ImageView at a fixed width 100 dip or so to both ImageViews, and that helped, but of course with bigger size devices this will look weird. How can I achieve what I'm trying to accomplish?
