I am trying to place two Spinners next to each other in a ConstraintLayout. However, when I run the app on a real device, one of the spinners expands to the end of the screen and hides the other spinner. This works as expected in the Android Studio layout editor.
I have tried both with and without a CardView, but the issue persists.I have tried various solutions, including setting the layout_width of the Spinners to wrap_content, but the issue remains.When i replaced Spinner with TextView then it’s shows as i required How can I ensure that both spinners remain visible and are evenly spaced on the screen?
Here is my layout code:
