The activity itself uses a table layout, in order to avoid the fill_parent width for the RatingBar (which messes up the number of starts) I placed a LinearLayout inside the TableLayout, and placed the ratingBar inside that. The alignment and all is fine now, however the RatingBar no longer responds to being pressed (I have an OnRatingBarChangeListener). It was working fine from outside the Linear Layout, is there something I have to adjust to get to the rating bar now?
Setting rating bar
ratingBar = (RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.ratingRatingBar);
Setting the Listener
ratingBar.setOnRatingBarChangeListener(changeRating);
The Listener itself (probably fine)
private OnRatingBarChangeListener changeRating = new OnRatingBarChangeListener()//function that updates the rating
{
@Override
public void onRatingChanged(RatingBar ratingBar, float rating,
boolean fromUser) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int currentRating = (int) ratingBar.getRating();//gets the rating on the bar
dataSource.open();
dataSource.updateRating((int) currentMovie.getId(), currentRating);//updates the entries rating with the new one
dataSource.close();
}
};
And the xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/TableLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

I found my issue, a silly one
prevents the user from interacting with it, just a setting I had on without realizing.
