Android weight property error in layout

Question

I have 5 horizontal linear layout is there. I aligned three edittext in a single linear layout. And I applied the weight field property 1 for all the editext. But in 1st and 3rd linear layout working perfectly with the property. Others are not working properly. Again in 5th horizontal linear layout have one spinner view, it was also creating the same problem. Then 4th line one addition linear layout available inside the horizontal layout, with one edittext and one imageview. It is also not fixing properly with weight property. I put layout code below.

    </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView> 
</LinearLayout>

If it won't work means, will the table layout give solution for this?

If I reduce the text inside the hint then also it was working fine in 2nd line. If I provide space for keeping same text length in with other edittext field which contains low text also not worked.

Answer 1

All your EditText should have:

android:layout_width="0dp"

And all LinearLayout should have:

android:weightsum="3"
