android Tablelayout out of screen

Question

I'm using tablelayout for an activity. At the start time the layout is fine but when some data populate the fileds on the activity the layout changes its form going outside of the screen. How can I block the layout?

Answer 1

Did you try shrinkColumns option?

<TableLayout
android:shrinkColumns="*"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
...
