Header shriking while creating several columns

[gabrieltm]

First, i want to thank you for this amazing lib.

I have a problem while creating several columns, they are shrinking in size and the columns names stay like ("header here..."), i have tried to increase the setColumnWeight but with no success, i already added the horizontal scroll view like the other issues presented. Is there any way to increase the width of the columns ?

Hi gabrieltm,
I think you are using the TableView using the size attributes match_parent. As you have the TableView inside a HorizontalScollView so you can simplify set a fixed width to the TableView and then adjust the column widths by giving specific weights.
Is this What you are trying to achive?

Actually, when i try to set specific weights on my SortableTableView, some of the other columns shrink in size, also some data in the rows also automatically wrap their texts.

Is there a way to make all texts of the rows in a single line only and make them adjust their column width by their size ? I want this for the Headers also if the row data text size is smaller than the headers text size.

Yes, you can prevent the table data to be wrapped by writing your custom TableDataAdapter.

public class SingleLineTableDataAdapter extends SimpleTableDataAdapter {

    public SimpleTableDataAdapter(final Context context, final String[][] data) {
        super(context, data);
    }

    public SimpleTableDataAdapter(final Context context, final List<String[]> data) {
        super(context, data);
    }

   @Override
    public View getCellView(final int rowIndex, final int columnIndex, final ViewGroup parentView) {
        TextView textView = (TextView) super.getCellView(rowIndex, columnIndex, parentView);
        textView.setSingleLine(true);
        textView.setLines(1);
        textView.setEllipsize(null);
        ...
        return textView;
    }

}

Unfortunately the TableView is not accepting WRAP_CONTENT as width parameter. So your text will be simply cut off. But at least with the next bug fix version you will be able to set an absolute width (e.g. android:layout_width="900dp").

Hello,

So it's not possible to prevent this bug of getting my text of the headers being cut off ?

[ISchwarz23]

The bug fix version will be finished this week. Then you are able to put the TableView inside a HorizontalScollView and set a fixes width.
Does this fulfill your needs?

[gabrieltm]

Sure does ! Thank you very much man

Have a try de.codecrafters.tableview:tableview:1.1.1 ;)
Please give me feedback if it is working correctly.

I'm having a problem while trying to execute the project with the new 1.1.1 library.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v7/appcompat/R$anim.class

Do you have any idea why is this happening ? By the way i upgraded my android studio to 2.0 and gradle build to 2.0

I was using the 1.1.0 version, it works fine, but when i change the version it gives this errors...

Hi @gabrieltm,
can you please give feeback, if this error still occurs?
Best regards,
