Why the TextView in XML layout is not appearing - android

The problem is with the textview which has the id editTextLabelID as shown below in the code.
I am trying to have a layout designed as follows: label:editText
What I have in the xml layout is, a Relativelayout with green background. And inside it, there is a textview which should be my label and next to it horizontally, there should be an edittext
the problem is, according to the below code, I receive the the below result shown in the image. And the edittext, although it precedes the textview in the xml layout, however it shadows it. how to place both of the textview and edittext horizontally right after each other?

you are missing these 3 lines in your edit text
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/editTextLabelID"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
if you don't put it to match parent, it will be very small
the ems value is not a good use here usually

// try this way,hope this will help you...

in your code, you have many non-usefull layouts, simply you can do it like this :
<TextView
android:id="#+id/addLocationActivityTitleID"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="#dimen/titlesTextSize"
android:text="#string/addLocationActivityTitle"
android:textColor="#color/titleColor"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#00ff00">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/editTextLabelID"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="#dimen/labelsTextSizes"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:textColor="#color/contentsColor"/>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTextID"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/editTextLabelID"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/editTextLabelID"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/editTextLabelID"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="text"/>

Set 1 textview and 2 buttons independently in a Relativelayout

I have this XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:maxLines="2"
android:scrollbars="vertical"

</TextView>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btnBrowser"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/icon_browser"
android:contentDescription="Open Browser"

</ImageButton>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnNewThread"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="NewThread"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/btnBrowser">
</Button>
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/upperBar">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
And looks like this:
The problem is that, when the TextView is too long, it overlaps the buttons. I'd like to have those elements independently that the text is long. What should I add to my code?
Thank you.

Add following code android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/btnBrowser" for the text view.

how to reduce distance between both text in listview?

Hi I'm newly entered in this project. How to reduce listview text view distance please...
xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/thumb"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="3dip"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/thumb"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/thumb"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginTop="1000dip"
android:textColor="#ffffff"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/detail"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/thumb"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:textColor="#ffffff" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/imgArrow"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>

You have given android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" to the below text.so it will set itself to the bottom of the layout.Either remove this and give marginTop to the this text or give marginTop to the above text.Here is only problem,look at it.
Use this XML as the list_item of your listview and make changes wherever needed
<?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:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb"/>

</LinearLayout>
i dont know whether this is the only reqirement of yours though i have tried to shorten the distance between them.Try it n Hope this will help you.

Android: Keyboard overlaps with the EditText (with printscreens)

I have an EditText (that the user can type numbers in),
so when the user clicks on the EditText text box a keyboard with numbers is opened.
as you can see the keyboard hides a small part of the text box.
But when I press a key, for example, 0, it looks ok.
Is there anything I can do (besides putting the EditText higher) so it will looks like it does in the second picture?

I have tried your XML and yes you are right the problem occur.
To solve the problem I have written this line in my MainActivity.java hope this help to you,And put the layout XML in ScrollView.
Activity
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.temp);
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
final EditText time = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.timeET);
time.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
time.requestLayout();
MyActivity.this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_UNSPECIFIED);
return false;
}
});
final EditText date = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.dateET);
date.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
time.requestLayout();
MyActivity.this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_UNSPECIFIED);
return false;
}
});
}
And The XML is Like,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

put the entire view inside a ScrollView and set the android:windowSoftInputMode = adjustPan it will do the trick.
you just need to add this piece of 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" >
Your linear layout here....
</ScrollView>
I have tested it on my HTC Desire and its working fine for me hope it will work for you too.

Set android:windowSoftInputMode on the Activity to "adjustPan":
The activity's main window is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window are automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing.
Beware of one potential bug when using this technique with a fullscreen activity.

You can give some hints to the system on how to handle this via android:windowSoftInputMode element on the declared activity in the AndroidManifest. Try the "adjustResize" value.
android:windowSoftInputMode

This is a much simpler fix than the accepted answer. The key is the <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">adjustUnspecified</item> line. Add it to your styles.xml:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="#android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:alertDialogTheme">#style/iconPopUpDialogTheme</item>
</style>
<style name="DialogAppTheme" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="android:dialogTheme">#style/iconPopUpDialogTheme</item>
</style>
<style name="PopUpDialogTheme">
<item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">adjustUnspecified</item>
</style>

try changing linear layout to scroll view...so that if keyboard comes above editt text user can scroll and type...

How to make this Layout

what ever I try it always ends up so the second checkbox in a row doesn't show, and I don't know how to put admob wedget on the bottom of the screen
This is what I'm aiming for, thanks ahead of time:

Try this...the trick is to use relative layout for the outermost layout and nest some linear layouts to get the check boxes to align

Android Emulator Force closes when loading Custom Layout

I created a custom layout where I have a couple of LinearLayout in a ScrollView. Problem is when I set my layout in setContentView() to my custom layout (when the application starts), the emulator gives an error and force closes! I don't know why. I have tried with another custom layout or set it to main and it seems to work fine.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Yes, I meant to say the app is crashing. Here is the xml code for the custom layout: (too many spinners!)

The problem is that you're specifying a view without including a required attribute (layout_width).
<View android:layout_height="5dp"/>
It's up to you to define the expected behavior for width, but here's one example that will fix your problem:
<View android:layout_height="5dp" layout_width="fill_parent" />
The Android developer documentation indicates these fields are required (source: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html).
