Hi all I have to add 2 Buttons below editfield. I had tried it using relativelayout. But it is not added exactly below mention position.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Here I want to add these two buttons exactly below "des" editfield. Thanks in advance
Currently it displays like . But I want these two buttons exactly below last editfield with equal size.

You have just add on your relative layout:
layout_gravity on right and width make on wrap_content. like this
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/des" android:layout_gravity="right"
android:padding="10dip">
<Button
android:id="#+id/submit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="Submit" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/cancel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/submit"
android:text="Cancel" />
</RelativeLayout>
Output looks like:

Ist think you are doing wrong is that : ScrollView never contains Relative Layout as a direct child. it use LinearLayout as a direct child .
use this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dip" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.35"
android:text="User Name"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.55" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.35"
android:text="Description"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/des"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.55" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/des"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="10dip" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/submit"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Submit" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/cancel"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Cancel" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

Try this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_weight="0.35"

android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.55" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.35"
android:text="Description"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/des"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.55" />
</LinearLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/des"
android:padding="10dip">
<Button
android:id="#+id/cancel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="Cancel" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/submit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

Try this:
One more thing when you want to do stuff like this, try to see in graphical layout and move elements in that to position you want. Most of time it will work as expected and you can get idea of place too.

In your case its not possible because you are trying to place a button relative to EditText which is placed inside a LinearLayout, you can place the button relative to linearlayout but not its ChildViews.
Try to bring all the Views inside a single relative layout and place all the Views relative to each other.

Hope this will solve your problem

android:layout_below="#id/des" That des is present in LinearLayout, IF you want to give that way, Same RelativeLyout should be given within the layout that des is present and Their parent should be relative layout, to use parementers such as below or above(i.e., with relative to other widget)

Thank you in advance

Not sure whether your looking for this alignment but i just gave a shot..... whenever you wish to fix layout at the bottom of screen make sure you use weight property i.e if you want fix button at the bottom of screen then put android:layout_height = "0dp" and layout_weight="1" for other major layout in the xml and to button which has to be fixed at the bottom use android:layout_height="wrap_content" and layout_weight = "0" that's all is the trick (sorry if i have made it hard to understand... just simply saying play with weight and height property)

Yes, you can use use multiple layouts in single XML using the <include>.
Here is a example for that:
<?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:background="#color/app_background"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<include layout="#layout/actionbar_main" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_rest_pic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight=".35"
android:src="#drawable/upload_image" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The actionbar_main.xml file is in different XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#drawable/navbar_txt"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ibtn_action_back"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:background="#null"
android:src="#drawable/navbar_back" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ibtn_action_settings"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/ibtn_action_back"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:background="#null"
android:src="#drawable/nacbar_setting" />
<View
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>

Two textviews one on left and one on the right side

I trying to make two textviews on same line. One on the left and one on the right. Tried with RelativeLayout with android:layout_alignParentRight="true" and android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" but seems not to work. How can I do this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/restaurants_buttons">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ColPhoto"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView android:id="#+id/ColName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:text=""
/>
<View
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="1dip"
android:background="#CCCCCC" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/ColPrice"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text=""
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/ColWeight"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text=""
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I try to align ColPrice and ColWeight. Also if it's possible with LinearLayout.

Try to wrap those TextViews in a LinearLayout.
Like this:
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ColPhoto"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/ColName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:text=""
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<View
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="1dip"
android:background="#CCCCCC" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/ColPrice"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"

layout within layout android

I want to have several layouts inside a layout so that I can better organize the UI. What I want is the layout to be horizontal. I need the layout to be split in half horizontally down the middle and the 4 buttons and text box to be on one side and copied on the other side as well so it can keep track of two totals. I only have one set of buttons right now because I cant get the layouts right.

Give weight for two horizontal layouts.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_weight="1.0">

You can create left and right layouts as separate layouts and inflate it in the main layout. This will simplify the layout design.
And try to start the design with android:layout_width="fill_parent" instead of android:layout_width="250.0dip"
Once you get the layout you want, then try to adjust the width as you need.

LinearLayout not rendering

I want to create a login screen. I want to have the heading at the top, leave some white space and then have the user name and passwords each in one line. Then, I want to leave some more white space at the bottom.
Currently, I haven't tried to put the password TextView and EditTect in a single line because there is some error with the LinearLayout corresponding to the user name due to which it is not rendering. Could you please help me figure out? My XML file is below -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="#string/welcome_message"
android:textSize="20sp" />
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0sp"
android:layout_weight="4" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0sp"
android:layout_weight="4"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="User Name" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0sp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Password" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0sp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0sp"
android:layout_weight="4" />

Take a look if this what are you looking for:

use layout margin and padding settings to leaving space for views.
i recommend using relative layout

I think you can use relativelayout at first level, like the following:
<relativelayout>
<imageview align to parent top, left, bottom>
<linearlayout align to parent to, right, right to image view>
<textview1/>
<textview2/>
</linearlayout>
<textview align to parent bottom, right, righto to image view, below linearlayout>
</relativelayout>

This should work. But it will be better if you use RelativeLayout

Place button below editfield in relative layout - android

android:layout_below="#id/des" That des is present in LinearLayout, IF you want to give that way, Same RelativeLyout should be given within the layout that des is present and Their parent should be relative layout, to use parementers such as below or above(i.e., with relative to other widget)
