Android Textview equally distribute horizontal orientation

I want to display values in listview where all 5 values of row should take equal width and height over all dimensions Here is my list_view.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@id/tabsLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_marginTop="12.0dip"
    android:background="@color/transparent"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@id/text2"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@id/text3"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@id/text4"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@id/text5"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

</LinearLayout>

But it is not equally distributing horizontally. In preview it is showing 5 rectangular textview but when it comes in listview values over textview will become auto fit so that textview getting shrink.

Try adding weightSum to linearLayout:

 <LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/tabsLayout"
    android:layout_marginTop="12.0dip"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="5">

layout weight should work, try removing gravity attribute for your Textview. if still not working, play with weightSum, set weightSum for your LinearLayout and distribute that to TextViews

ex : 

<LinearLayout
...
... 
android:weightSum="5">

  <TextView
  .. 
  .. 
  android:layout_weight="1"/>
  <TextView
  .. 
  .. 
  android:layout_weight="1"/>
  <TextView
  .. 
  .. 
  android:layout_weight="1"/>
  <TextView
  .. 
  .. 
  android:layout_weight="1"/>
  <TextView
  .. 
  .. 
  android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>

this might work.

You should set layout_weight="0.20" for every TextView, meaning every TextView will take 20% of space.

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/tabsLayout"
    android:layout_marginTop="12.0dip"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text1"
        android:text="EEEEEEEE"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="0.20"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text2"
        android:text="DDDDDDDDD"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="0.20"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text3"
        android:text="CCCCCCCCCC"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="0.20"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text4"
        android:text="BBBBBBBBBBB"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="0.20"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text5"
        android:text="AAAAAAAAAA"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="40.0dip"
        android:layout_weight="0.20"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5.0dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:textSize="8.0dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

</LinearLayout>
