Label Width Percentage

[Onuorah_Ifeanyi]

I created 4 labels on my first card inside a horizontal arrangement. I converted the labels to Materia Icons then used percentage to fill the width. Yet some of the icons were not showing, while others were longer than the other.

Secondly, I created a card. I thought that if I create 5 other cards inside the card and make then height of 20% each, that the sum would be 100% and that would automatically fill in the card for me. I therefore found out that the cards were now bigger in height than the parent card. Is it possible that 100% would be bigger than the size?

Please I need reply or help to these questions. Thank you

Can u post some screenshots, what you have tried and what u want to achieve.

Material icon will not be shown when their height, width is not set properly

I made those 4 labeled icons above 25% each as shown in the 2nd picture. Yet it appears to go off the screen

Don’t set width of material icon label to 25%

Just keep height, width to Automatic.

You can control Material icon size by changing label font size.

And set horizontal arrangement (where u placed material icons) alignment to center for both vertical and horizontal alignment.

Designer doesn’t reflect the real look as on device it self, so try it with companion or as apk

@The_K_Studio

Don’t set width of material icon label to 25%

I don’t see any issue doing this
