You can't setText in an ImageView.. that's just for TextViews
What you can do instead is wrap an ImageView and a TextView inside a FrameLayout, then do your setText on the TextView. Make sure you define the ImageView first, so it's below the TextView's z-order.

Add image to text view like this:
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/protection_unprotected"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingRight="5dp"
android:text="#string/protection_unprotected"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
android:drawableRight="#drawable/protection_unprotected"

For your Facebook and Twitter buttons you can add
android:background = "#null"
inside ImageButton tags for the unwanted background in buttons.

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#a8a8a8"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/headerLinearLay"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/avatarImageView"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"></ImageView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/usernameTextView"
android:text="TextView"
android:paddingLeft="4dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/avatarImageView"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"></TextView>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

ListView pushes button out of screen

I'm trying to get the ListView to remain the same size even if it overflows. However, once the ListView overflows, it pushes the buttons below off the screen. How do I prevent it from pushing other elements that are below it?
As you can see from the above images, the second shows that the buttons get pushed off the screen once the ListView overflows.

You can use a relative layout for this. Modify the below according to your needs
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical" >

android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginRight="11dp"
android:layout_marginTop="11dp"
android:text="Create New Group" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_marginTop="23dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>

I added this line : android:layout_weight="1" to the LinearLayout where EditText exist (my problem source) and the problem is gone !
look at the code where I commented <!-- HERE!!! -->
LOL I know i'm very late to answer this Q ,, sorry ,, but for anyone who is still struggling !

i had my problem with the highlighted EditText in the pic ,,, it expands with the entered text and pushes the DONE Button down !
I know my solution may look so silly but I took a whole day to solve this !
Hope it helps ^_^ GL

Initialize your Text View first
TextView iskat = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtiskate);
String iskate=WorkCat.Kategori(Workid);
iskat.setText(iskate);

First you need to initialize your textview then after you can use it. Try below code.
TextView iskat = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtiskate);
String iskate=WorkCat.Kategori(Workid);
iskat.setText(iskate);

'iskate' should be instance of a 'TextView' like iskate=(TextView)(TextView)findViewById(id of the layout in xml here);
in your case its a string how is this possible this will show compile time error.

Phone keypad hides part of the layout

I've got an issue with the keyboard overlapping my layout. When Android brings up the keyboard, it overlaps some of my layout and hides them.
Is there any way to stop it from doing this?
Example images:
Here is my xml layout code:

Yes, you can set soft input mode properties for activity in manifest, select application tab in manifest, select your activity, set property softInputMode to adjustPan|adjustResize.
or set directly in manifest.xml by inserting following line between tag
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize|adjustPan"

AutoCompleteTextView drop-down appears above the edit field instead of beneath

I have an AutoCompleteTextView, which drop-down appears above the view instead of below. Can someone help me and explain the reason of this? Can it be fixed without changing the layout too much?
Here is the part of my layout which includes mentioned AutoCompleteTextView:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:orientation="horizontal" >

I've seen a suggestion to add android:dropDownHeight="100dp" to AutoCompleteTextView declaration, but that didn't help.

Try adding dropDownVerticalOffset attribute to AutoCompleteTextView in your xml:
...
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="#+id/NewSearch"
android:layout_width="190dip"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
...
android:dropDownVerticalOffset="50dp"
...
/>
...
