In this example creating a basic layout then a login screen.
In Android, TableLayout let you arranges components in rows and columns, just like the standard table layout in HTML, <tr> and <td>..
In this tutorial, we show you how to use TableLayout to arrange button, textview and edittext in rows and columns format, and also demonstrates the use of “android:layout_span” to span view in 2 cells, and “android:layout_column” to display the view in specified column.
Note :
In Eclipse , XML code assist will not prompts the attribute “android:layout_span“, “android:layout_column” and many other useful TableLayout attributes, no idea why, may be bug. Just put the attribute inside, it’s still compile and run.
