LinearLayout won't fill screen
0
Having a few issues with getting my linear layout to fill the screen when testing on a tablet. On a phone it works fine but this is what happens on a tablet:
Here is the xml code, I have looked at suggestions for scroll view, etc but nothing has worked so far!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:weightSum="100">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="33.3">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvOrderNumber"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text=""
android:textAlignment="center" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvDateTime"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:text=""
android:gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="33.3">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvItemType"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text=""
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="33.3">
<TextView
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:id="@+id/tvItemName"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView2"/>
<TextView
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Qty"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:id="@+id/tvItemQty"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView2"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And this is how AndroidStudio says it will display on a 10.1" tablet

For what it's worth, it would be nice to write up an answer to your own question explaining what you realized and how you fixed it, in case someone else has a similar problem in the future. And then you don't have to edit the question title to say "SOLVED" because the question will have an accepted answer.

I cannot reproduce your error on an emulator.
Try make the inner layouts android:layout_width="0dp" and android:layout_weight="1", and remove android:weightSum="100".

You have to add landscape orientation for your app in resources and redesign layout for horizontal layout. Here is the guide
