How to decrease row height. (TableLayout>TableRow)

Question

The height of the rows in this TableLayout is too much, higher than needed to allow for the text. I've played with a number of different values, but can't get it right. According to the docs, the default value for children of a TableLayout is wrap_content, but the row height appears to be more than that. Also it says that the value of the width is always wrap_content, so there's no point in setting that. By "children" does that mean only the direct children (TableRow in this case), or all underneath (TextView in this case)?

How do I decrease the row height?

Answer 1

Please remove:

android:layout_weight="1"

from the TableRow elements. It will cause the rows to be equally stretched along the length of the screen.

EDIT The children in this instance would both be the TableRow and TextView. That's why doing something like this would be legal:

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TableRow android:id="@+id/tableRow1">

    <TextView
         android:id="@+id/textViewNameLabel"
         android:gravity="start"
         android:text="@string/name_string"
         android:textSize="18sp"
         android:textStyle="bold"
         android:typeface="sans" />

         .
         .
         .

    </TableRow>
</TableLayout>

They would all automatically be assigned wrap_content for their width and height attributes by wrapping in a TableLayout

EDIT 2: Remove from all TextView components:

android:padding="10dp"
