How do I make 6 buttons aligned and same size?
I am trying to use the design tab in Android Studio to design my XML for my homescreen, however when i try and drag a button it realigned everything on the layout, eg like in the image below:
I want to arrange it so the buttons are a uniform size and aligned in a 2x3 table like the following
a b
c d
e f
I would like the image to remain in the same place as it is currently, with the text underneath also not to move.
Current XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:src="@drawable/amityapplogo"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="@string/welcomeadmin"
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_below="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/mydetails"
android:id="@+id/mydetailsbutton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:clickable="false"
android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/myhealthbutton"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="42dp" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/policydetails"
android:id="@+id/policydetailsbutton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_alignTop="@+id/mydetailsbutton"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/findaproviderbutton"
android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/findaproviderbutton" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/myhealth"
android:id="@+id/myhealthbutton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/contactusbutton"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView"
android:layout_alignStart="@+id/textView" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/findaprovider"
android:id="@+id/findaproviderbutton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/myhealthbutton"
android:layout_below="@+id/visitourwebsitebutton"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_alignStart="@+id/imageView" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/contactus"
android:id="@+id/contactusbutton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/textView"
android:layout_below="@+id/visitourwebsitebutton"
android:layout_alignRight="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_alignEnd="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_marginTop="40dp" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/visitourwebsite"
android:id="@+id/visitourwebsitebutton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/myhealthbutton"
android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/myhealthbutton"
android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/myhealthbutton"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
Cheers in advance!
Added tablerows, now all is aligned to the left hand side:

You can use LinearLayouts inside another LinearLayout just like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.25"
android:text="Button1" />
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.25"
android:text="Button2" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.25"
android:text="Button3" />
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.25"
android:text="Button4" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.25"
android:text="Button5" />
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.25"
android:text="Button6" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
You can add the ImageView and TextView before the first LinearLayout that keeps the first two Buttons.

This might work
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="ggggg"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/mydetailsbutton"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="@id/textView"
android:layout_marginTop="42dp"
android:text="Details" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/policydetailsbutton"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/mydetailsbutton"
android:layout_alignTop="@id/mydetailsbutton"
android:layout_alignBottom="@id/mydetailsbutton"
android:text="eeeee" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/myhealthbutton"

android:layout_alignLeft="@id/policydetailsbutton"
android:layout_alignRight="@id/policydetailsbutton"
android:text="aaaaa" />
</RelativeLayout>
