In this revised layout, we:
•
Switched to four columns in our table, with columns #1 and #3 as
stretchable
•
Put the name and address labels and fields on the same row
•
Put the type, notes, and Save button on the same row, with the
notes and Save button stacked via a LinearLayout
•
Made the notes three lines instead of two, since we have the room
•
Fixed the maximum width of the EditText widgets to 140 scaled
pixels (sp), so they do not automatically grow outlandishly large if
we type a lot
•
Added a bit of padding in places to make the placement of the
labels and fields look a bit better
