XML Attributes

android:horizontalGap

Default horizontal gap between keys.

May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as " 14.5sp ". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), mm (millimeters).

May be a fractional value, which is a floating point number appended with either % or %p, such as " 14.5% ". The % suffix always means a percentage of the base size; the optional %p suffix provides a size relative to some parent container.

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form " @[ package :] type : name ") or theme attribute (in the form " ?[ package :][ type :] name ") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol horizontalGap .
