I have a LinearLayout that shows a few Textview objects next to eachother. The middle two have width set to 0dp and both a weight of 1 and a fixed height of 22sdp
Whenever the Textview has text that needs to be wrapped, I get an unwatned margin which causes an ugly alignment with the other fields.
I tried changing the gravity of the Textview, setting Margin to 0dp manually but no result so far. (when I increase the weight until the textview has enough space to show the text in a single line everything is fine again, offcourse this is not a solution that I want)
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/lightTransparent"

<TextView
android:id="@ id/txtSlotName"
android:layout_width="@dimen/_80sdp"
android:layout_height="@dimen/_22sdp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingStart="@dimen/_4sdp"
android:text="Slot #1"
android:textColor="@color/softWhite"
android:textSize="@dimen/font_medium"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@ id/txtManagerName"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="@dimen/_22sdp"

android:text="Manager Name"
android:textColor="@color/softWhite"
android:textSize="@dimen/font_medium"

<TextView

Issue is solved, the comment of Mike M. on the OP did the trick:
Add android:baselineAligned="false"
to the <LinearLayout>
. By default, it's lining up the first lines of text in your TextView
