Android input form design using TableLayout

Question

I am trying to figure out how to design the below mentioned input form. So far I have tried TableLayout to do this. bellow is my code. But failed. Please suggest me how to achieve this, any comment, code, effort would be appreciated.

         <TableLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#FF939393">
            <TableRow
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="horizontal"
                android:background="#FF000000"
                android:layout_margin="1dp"
                android:weightSum="2">

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="0dp"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:text="First Name"/>

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="0dp"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="1dp"
                    android:text="Last Name" />
            </TableRow>
            <TableRow
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="horizontal"
                android:background="#FF000000"
                android:layout_margin="1dp">
                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="Email"/>

            </TableRow>

        </TableLayout>

Why are you specifically using a `TableLayout`? After looking at your code, you actually already have what you want. The only thing missing is the Create Account TextView on top? — AL., May 03 '16 at 06:29
I am not supposed to specifically using TableLayout. I just tried to solve my problem using this. The main concern is vertical line. — Ashfaque, May 03 '16 at 06:51

Replace your TextViews with EditTexts

     <TableLayout
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:orientation="horizontal"
                        android:background="#FF000000"
                        android:layout_margin="1dp"
                       >

Isn't the `RelativeLayout` no longer needed? – AL. May 03 '16 at 06:36 — AL., May 03 '16 at 06:36

Try this code.

Note: Change Background Color as you Want

This also contains Vertical and Horizontal Lines in it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
