SPAN in Android TableLayout

Finally after two days of hard work, I managed to solve the layout issue. Having to insert the AdMob ads in dictionary app, I need to do minor changes to the layout. This morning I realised that there should be a SPAN capability in the TableLayout (as similar to HTML table). I decided to give it a try and, Alhamdulillah it works.

 

SPAN in Android TableLayout

What is SPAN in table? It is a capability to merge several cells in a table. If it is a column span, than it is merging several columns in a row. In this example, I managed to merge 2 cells in a row (in line 21) and and 3 cells in a row (refer to line 85 in the code below).

 

     

Column span 2

 
     
     
     

Column span 3

 

And this is the XML code for the layout.

   1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   2: <TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   3:     android:orientation="vertical"
