the difference is not between <span> and <div> specifically, but between inline and block elements. <span> defaults to being display:inline; whereas <div> defaults to being display:block;. But these can be overridden in CSS. The difference in the way text-align:center works between the two is down to the width. A block element defaults to being the … Read more
Create a adapter for your spinner like this, ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, R.layout.my_spinner_style,array_of_values) { public View getView(int position, View convertView,ViewGroup parent) { View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent); ((TextView) v).setTextSize(16); return v; } public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView,ViewGroup parent) { View v = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView,parent); ((TextView) v).setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); return v; } }; Now your … Read more
All I can see is that the textAlignment is a member of the View Class and the gravity is the member of TextView class.

But you can use semantically correct html tags and apply table display properties to it. … Read more
It was getting on my nerves, I admit it.

I created a custom view (ugly, probably bad) that implements the … Read more
You can use System.out.format(…) Example: final Object[][] table = new String[4][]; table[0] = new String[] { “foo”, “bar”, “baz” }; table[1] = new String[] { “bar2”, “foo2”, “baz2” }; table[2] = new String[] { “baz3”, “bar3”, “foo3” }; table[3] = new String[] { “foo4”, “bar4”, “baz4” }; for (final Object[] row : table) { System.out.format(“%15s%15s%15s%n”, … Read more
The ISO C++ standard way to do it is to #include <iomanip> and use io manipulators like std::setw. However, that said, those io manipulators are a real pain to use even for text, and are just about unusable for formatting numbers (I assume you want your dollar amounts to line up on the decimal, have … Read more
