What am i missing in this layout - android

I want to implement a layout like this for each row of a listview
So i created a container like this
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:clickable="false"
android:focusable="false"
>
<!--List items goes here -->
</LinearLayout>
In the getView() method of my custom adapter, I inflate this xml for each box in the image above
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="500dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:padding="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/list_item_background"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/cnbc_default_image"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/supportImageView"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:visibility="gone"
android:src="#drawable/video_play_icon"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:layout_above="#+id/title"/>
<TextView
android:id="#id/title"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/description"
style="#style/large_news_title_text_style"/>
<TextView android:id="#id/description"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:maxLines="2"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:textSize="13sp"
style="#style/large_news_title_text_style"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>
and then finally add the inflated view to the linearlayout instance using
row.addView(inflatedView);
However, the end result is first box stretching across X axis. If i inspect my layout using HierachyViewer, i do see 3 RelativeLayouts inside a LinearLayout, but the first one is occupying all the space.
The thumbnail image android:id="#+id/thumbnail", seems to be taking up match_parent attribute of the LinearLayout and not its immediate container RelativeLayout.
Clarification
The list view is from ListFragment.
When adding the box layout to the list view row container i use this method call
ViewGroup container = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_view_row_land, parent, false);
View rowItem = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_view_row_item,null);
container.addView(rowItem);
Solved:
The problem is solved if i modify the layout of the box to
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="500dp"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:padding="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/list_item_background"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/cnbc_default_image"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/supportImageView"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:visibility="gone"
android:src="#drawable/video_play_icon"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:layout_above="#+id/title"/>
<TextView
android:id="#id/title"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/description"
style="#style/large_news_title_text_style"/>
<TextView android:id="#id/description"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:maxLines="2"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:textSize="13sp"
style="#style/large_news_title_text_style"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I still don't understand why. So any explanation of why putting a LinearLayout around solves the issue will be helpful.

android relativelayout: the last viewgroup won't get over the header?

I want the last viewgroup with ID chats to overlap the previous viewgroups and occupy the whole screen of my phone. With the XML code below I presume it will get what I want. But the codes does not. Please help.
Below is the xml codes.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:text="hello world"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
this is the preview screenshot.
enter image description here
The "chats" LinearLayout does fill the whole screen, but the "bar" LinearLayout appears on top of it (even though it's defined earlier inside the RelativeLayout) because of its android:elevation attribute.
To make this stop, either remove the elevation attr from the "bar" view, or add a (larger) elevation attr to the "chats" view.

Layout not showing under listview within ScrollView

I have a layout with 1 layout inside of it which is all inside a ScrollView. I am trying to get the whole screen to scroll with the content inside of the listview then the textviews underneath that listview. I get the whole listview to populate and show correctly but the bottom layout with all the textviews do not show up.

Do not put ListView inside ScrollView. ListView is a widget that is already scrollable. See NestedScrollView from Support library.
If you set the ListView height to wrap_content the height will have the height to comport all items. That way, the below content will be pushed away.
However Android don't have a great support for nested scrolls, it's considered a bad practice. This way, your ListView will not have the native scroll feature, and will need some hack to work as expected.
A better workaround is use the NestedScrollView, so you scroll may work (maybe you will need put your ListView inside another parent to control the height)
change ListView's layout_height to wrap_content

Android TextView height does not wrap around content

In my fragment, I have a couple of TextViews inside a LinearLayout. I set the text dynamically in onViewCreated().
The height is set in the XML-Layout by android:layout_height="wrap_content".
However, the heights do not adjust to the content. They always stay same height.
Here is the XML:
<ScrollView 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="#color/my_white_color">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/my_white_color"
android:padding="10dp">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/seminarImageView"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:background="#color/gray3"
android:padding="1dp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/titelTextView"
android:textColor="#color/blue_heading"
android:textSize="24sp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/teaserTextView"
android:textColor="#color/blue1"
android:textSize="18sp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/bodyTextView"
android:textColor="#color/blue1"
android:textSize="15sp" />
</LinearLayout>
Any suggestions?
Try to call requestLayout() after setting the text.
I'm not sure, but onViewCreated() can be called after view is laid out.

Swiperefreshlayout with fragment not scrolling up

I have a layout with some preferences. It works correctly in portrait, but not in landscape. I want this layout to refresh with a swiperefreshlayout, and does work. But as i i say in the title, it doesnt scroll up.
Ive been playing with a normal LinearLayout, with a RelativeLayout, using the swiperefreshlayout as the root view, playing with weights, ... but nothing. It either doesnt scroll up, or doesnt show the preferences correctly (only the 1st title). Dont know what else to try.
I should also say, i want this screen to keep a linearlayout at the bottom, fixed there. So, only the preferences would scroll.
Heres what i have right now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Thanks in advance.
According to the documentation,
[SwipeRefreshLayout] should be made the parent of the view that will be
refreshed as a result of the gesture and can only support one direct
child.
This clause is violated in your layout.

Make layout clickable

In my app I have several fragments with different ListViews, but for all them I want to use the same empty view, so I created a separate layout with the empty view and added it to the other layouts using
<include
android:id="#+id/empty"
layout="#layout/empty_view"/>
Everything works as expected but now I'm trying to make that view clickable so I can reload ListView when the user taps on the empty view, however I can't make it work. Any idea on how to do it?
This is what I have tried so far:
(empty_view.xml)
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:clickable="true"
android:gravity="center">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="center"
android:src="#drawable/error_icon"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#929292"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:text="#string/empty_list_error"/>
</LinearLayout>
fragment_list.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true">
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner_filter"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:visibility="gone"/>
<include
android:id="#+id/empty"
layout="#layout/empty_view"/>
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/loading_indicator"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:indeterminate="true"
style="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ProgressBar.Large"/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/list_header"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/primary_color"
android:padding="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_below="#id/spinner_filter"
android:visibility="gone">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="5"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/white_90pct"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:text="#string/subject_indicator"/>
<View
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="15dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="#color/light_color"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:gravity="end"
android:textColor="#color/white_90pct"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:text="#string/grade_indicator"/>
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/semesters_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/list_header"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Java class (onCreateView)
LinearLayout emptyView = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.empty);
emptyView.setOnClickListener(this);
I also tried adding the next attributes to the xml but still not working:
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
Since you have already specified the linearlayout to be clickable, you just need to specify the method for the onClick event.
So add you your linearLayouts xml, the onClick attribute as below: (focusable may be needed too)
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="layoutClicked"
android:focusable="true"
android:gravity="center">
Then in your code have the method to go with it
public void layoutClicked(View v)
{
// Your code here
}
Try emptyView.setOnTouchListener()
Are you including empty_view into another view that blocks descendant focusability?
Since your edit
Your ListView is on top of the empty_view and blocking clickability.
Since your empty view fills its parent, make sure your include tag for your empty view is the last in the other layout so it will be top-most in the z-order.
