Three children on RelativeLayout does not get place to be shown

I am trying to show four direct children on a Relative Layout where first one is a EdiText (in 'gone' visibility) and second one is LinearLayout with a TextView and ImageView and third is a ListView and fourth is another LinearLayout.
ListView gets over all children. I am posting below the code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The ListView will go over other elements because you've not given it any relative positions. In a relative layout, every element will be default appear at (0,0) (ie the top left corner of the view) unless it's given a layout_below, layout_alignBottom etc parameter to determine where it's drawn.
So in this case, you 'resumably want the ListView to have android:layout_below="#id/LinearLayout1 and the bottomview similarly android:layout_below="#id/listMessages.

Here is the xml as per your requirement.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Why aren't my TextViews getting centered?

I'm trying to emulate a dock for a launcher with 3 text views evenly spaced out across said dock... For some reason I can't get my text views to center align with in there parent linear layouts, can someone please explain to me what is my issue here?
Here is my layout in XML:

Try this out, I think you have too many inner layouts.. you can use layout_weight to achieve this.

Change your outer layout to RelativeLayout and position yout ScrollView at the parent center. Position other elements in relation to one in center
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TextView1"
android:layout_width="151dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:textSize="15pt" />
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView10"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#000000" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView10"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#000000"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textSize="13sp"
android:textStyle="italic" />
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

Put the TextView inside of a RelativeLayout, and put that RelativeLayout inside of the ScrollView.
Then, set android:layout_centerInParent="true" within the TextView

No scrolling in scrollview

i have a problem with my scrollview...
my xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ScrollView android:id="#+id/scrollView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout [...]>
<TextView [...]></TextView>

</TableRow>
<TableRow [...]>
<AutoCompleteTextView [...]></AutoCompleteTextView>
<AutoCompleteTextView [...]></AutoCompleteTextView>
<Spinner [...]></Spinner>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
When i try to scroll in my App it wont work... what did i do wrong?
i deleted the properties from the elements. if you need them to solve the problem i can add them.
i did it to get a better overview.
thanks,
prexx

Try adding the ScrollView as the parent. Swich place with LinearLayout.
And dont forget to add the following on your ScrollView instead of the LinearLayout:
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
And layout_widht and layout_height of the ScrollView should be set to "fill_parent"
This is my code which uses ScrollView in a calendar I made, could help you:

Try adding android:fillViewport="true" to your scrollView.
The height of your scrollView should probably be either match_parent or fill_parent aswell.

If the ScrollView content doesn't take up the whole space, it will behave as a normal layout, i.e. non-scrollable.
If you still need the ScrollView to fill the entire screen (but still not scroll since there is not enough content) you could do as Nicholas Magnussen mentioned and add android:fillViewport="true"

Please change to android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
to fill parent.
Thank you

Set the height and width in the xml layout file to what they should be when they are visible but initially, in code, get a reference to them and make them invisible. Then, when needed, you can make them visible (in code).

Maybe better try with RelativeLayout. This seems to be too nested and too much complicated than it suppose to be.

You can give setVisibility() property to button and textview in layout.
