Remove space of TableLayout column

Question

I'm align 9 checkbox by TableLayout. I've align column by android:stretchColumns but the space between column are high. How to fix that space.

<TableLayout
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="match_parent"
                        android:stretchColumns="1" >

                        <TableRow
                            android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

                            <CheckBox
                                android:id="@+id/cbRestaurant"

Remove the android:layout_weight="1" from each CheckBox and set android:layout_width="wrap_content". That's confusing the TableRow. Then, set android:stretchColumns="*" instead of just 1. This will distribute the available width to all columns.
