EditText going down screen

Android studio screenshotI have an EditText which I set the width to 0dp but made the weight 1 so that it still spans across the screen and the height is wrap_content but for some reason, it just comes up as a line going right down the screen with no width. Could you please help me to get this right?

Your problem is in
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"/>
it should be
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
</LinearLayout>

#Zid
First of all the parent RelativeLayout is not useful in your design
Second of all you was closing your second LinearLayout there only thats why it was giving you issue.
so please check following design code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Enter two numbers below and perform an operation to see the output" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="enter first number" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

cant force the edittext width to span along the screen

in the below layout file, i created a scrollView and it encompasses a tableLayout. the first row in the tablelayout is an Edittext. and despite i set the Edittext view parameters
to be as follows:
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
it never spans along the screen from the left to right!!
please let me know how to make the Edittext spans along the screen from left to right?

android:layout_toEndOf="#id/tv_label_x1"
android:text="x1value" />
</RelativeLayout>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

I found it. I should have wrapped the Edittext view inside a Relativelayout for an example, as follows:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rl_et"
android:layout_weight="1">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et0"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>
but I still do not know why it does not work without wrapping the Edittext inside a host layout??!!

stretchColumns attribute of TableLayout may help.

Dynamically adjust position of Button in Android Studio

I have a Button in Linear Layout when I see in the Design view of Activity xml ,it looks like it is perfectly positioned but when I see in GenyMotoin avd it is farly placed from what I expected.
How to dynamically adjust the position of button on different screen sizes?
My xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.xxx.MainScreen"
android:background="#b6b6b6">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="263dp"
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:textSize="50dp" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="264dp">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Next Act"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_marginTop="100dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Use Linear Layout for the outermost layout.

It's not clear what your trying to achieve but If you want to position your views at the center on all devices. Try to use RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#b6b6b6"
android:padding="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:weightSum="2"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.offtogeek.motivatemyself.MainScreen">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:gravity="left"
android:textSize="50dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Next Quote" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

two textviews in two layouts

I want to have two relative layouts side-by-side vertically and put one text view in each layout. I want each layout to take up half of the screen (hence I used android:layout_weight="50". Here is the xml code for the main activity:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="helloworld3.myapplication.MainActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/view1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="50"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="helloworld3.myapplication.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World 1!" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="50"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_below="#id/view1"
tools:context="helloworld3.myapplication.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World 2!" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
But the result displays only the first text view "Hello world 1!" and it does not display the second one, Hello world 2! Can anyone help?

Just add weight sum in parent layout and change its from Relative to Linear
layout . Also In Child layout like two relative one add layout height to
0dp below is updated code
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:weightSum="100">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/view1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="50"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World 1!" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_below="#id/view1"
android:layout_weight="50"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World 2!" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

If you want 2 TextViews one of top of another, taking 1/2 the screen each, just use a LinearLayout with vertical orientation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Text 1"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Text 2"/>
</LinearLayout>
If you do not want the TextViews to be 1/2 the height, you can wrap them in a FrameLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text 1" />
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text 2" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Why don't you just use a horizontal linearlayout and adjust the weight to .5 for each textview and set the gravity of the textview to where you want it

Your RelativeLayout's are both set to match_parent for layout_width and layout_height
You need to set one of these to 0dp for layout_weight to have any effect. The parent should probably be changed to a LinearLayout as well. By the way layout_weight value shouldn't matter as long as they are both equal: see below
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="helloworld3.myapplication.MainActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/view1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="helloworld3.myapplication.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World 1!" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_below="#id/view1"
tools:context="helloworld3.myapplication.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World 2!" />
</RelativeLayout>

if you want to divide the screen half-half. you dont have to set layout_weight to 50. just set layout_height(as you want to vertically divide the screen) to 0dp, then android will do what you want without considering the RelativeLayout's height. so it could be like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="demo.drawable.propertyanimationdemo.HalfLayoutActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#android:color/holo_orange_light"></RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_dark"></RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

use linear layout (Horizontal)
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:weightSum="2"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0sp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Demo 1"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0sp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Demo 2"/></LinearLayout>

First off all i would suggest you to use Linear Layout for this purpose. the linear layout can easily divide the screen based on the weights given to it.
Below is a sample that will suit your problem.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
tools:context="helloworld3.myapplication.MainActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView11"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="view 1"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView12"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="view 2"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Apply this to your own layout and you will get what you want. do tell if it worked for you. Do accept the answer as correct answer.

LinearLayout Beneath LinearLayout full width?

I have an ImageView and a TextView that are the only items in my Android UI. Currently the TextView is in the same LinearLayout as the ImageView, so the text sometimes runs to 2 lines. I want to get the text on its own line, with the full width of the parent element so it will be the whole width of the screen. So far everything I've tried moves the ImageView outside the window or makes it very small.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:weightSum="4"
android:gravity="center"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:baselineAligned="false">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/activity_main_imageview_gototags"
android:src="#drawable/img_main_gototags"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:onClick="imageViewGoToTagsOnClickOnClick"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/activity_main_textview_tagline"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/activity_main_textview_tagline"
android:textColor="#color/dark_blue"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

May be this is what you want
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.5" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<ImageView

android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.5" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/activity_main_textview_tagline"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="1"
android:singleLine="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="lfhjdhkjfhkjdhkjfhkdhkjfhdkshfkhskahdfkjdhkhkjfhdk"
android:textColor="#android:color/holo_blue_bright"
android:textSize="30sp" />
</LinearLayout>
I hope it helps.let me know if it did not.

Don't give the parent(LinearLayout) of your ImageView a width of 0dp make it match_parent instead and the same for your TextView also there's a property on text views android:maxLines that corresponds to how many lines at max can it go to, set it to 1 and if you need truncation you can also use android:ellipsize on the text view.
