look like you try to make button in table like in XML???

don`t know if this can help you, but when i try to make same precise width i use this...

here`s the explanation

create 1 linear layout with vertical orientation (so, everytime you add new item, it will placed to down)

inside it, insert linear layout with horizontal orientation... (insert as many row you want, in you case looks like you need 5 linear layout with horizontal orientation)

after that, insert you button / textview inside the linear layout (horizontal orientation), so your button / text will placed horizontaly.

if you want to change row, just insert the button / textview inside another linear layout (horizontal orientation).

after you insert all, set the linear layout (horizontal value) with this code

android:weightSum="5"

why 5? because in your case, u make 5 column. and dont forget to set the width = fill parent.

after that set the button /textview inside the linearlayout (horizontal) with add this code

android:layout_weight="1"

and dont forget to change the width with fill parent.

with this, i can make precise width in every row. next step you can set the margin to make your button / textview looks good.

hope this can help you...

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Give your TextView a fix size width by changing layout_width from wrap_content to some fix dp size like 30dp

Example:

  <TextView
        android:id="@+id/item_text"
        android:layout_width="32dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="MOD"
        android:textSize="12sp" >
    </TextView>
