How to set gridview column width in android?

Question

I use gridview in android and I want to set the first column width, but I could not. while I am trying to find the answer to the problem, I came face to face with a comment, as you can see below. My question is, is the description below really true?

All columns in the GridView are the same size. On Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 9:25 pm, Solid wrote:

I'm having trouble controlling the size of the columns in my grid view. The first column is only 3-4 characters, and the remaining 4 columns are 5-8 characters. For some reason, all columns are the same width, leaving a huge amount of space after the first column and wrapping text inside others. Is there a way I can set the width of individual columns as a grid? In an ideal world, gridview will work as an html table where smaller columns are reduced to, if necessary, data and large columns are expanded. Any ideas to be helpful.
