Android DB List Adapters: multiple columns, aligned?
<p>Ok I can't find a sample anywhere.</p>

<p>I've done the notepad tutorial on Google's Android site, but I would like to know how to add more fields to the list, in columns. At the moment I can add the columns no problem, but they're not aligned like you would a normal table on the layout:</p>

<pre><code>john smith
heinrich cilliers
will peck
</code></pre>

<p>I would like the first names and last names aligned proportionately, as you would in an html table.</p>

<p>It works if I use a constant value for the layout_width parameter (100dip etc), but I would prefer to use a relative percentage. However it's becoming clear that each row is on it's own, and does not know how to alighn itself with the row above.</p>

<p>Any pointers?</p>

<p>UPDATE: I've reached an experienced Android developer which advised me to use WeightSum, which brings me closer, but vertical alignment is stil not happening:</p>
