TextView below Image not showing up in Android

I am trying to put a text below an image but they are not showing up in android layout.
Here is the screenshot:
I dont' see any text below image.
And my code: inside a relative layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/layout_footer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"

android:background="#color/panelcolor" >
<ImageView

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingRight="60dp"

Not sure what is wrong?

Assuming you follow Googles Design guidelines
(Tabs with icons and text Height - 72dp;
Icon - 24 x 24dp)
Change 'match_parent' to 'wrap_content' for the ImageViews

The problem is you have put android:layout_height="match_parent" for image views and android:layout_height="wrap_content" for text views. Either use wrap_content for image view or use use a LinearLayout with android:weight property. Using LinearLayout would also solve your problem of alignment if it occurs!

Try setting android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" instead of android:layout_below="#+id/homeicon".
This aligns the text at the bottom of the parent. You might also need to set android:layout_alignLeft="" and align it to the corresponding imageView.
This method will only work, if there is enough padding below the image. This is because the text will now overlap the image.
EDIT:
Another way would be, to set the relative layout to a fixed height you know (like 60dp) and set the imageView to a fixed height (like 40dp). Then the TextView will also show up below the ImageView.

set Two text box in list view one with fix size and other with dynamic size

hi I am creating ListView with the two TextView in android.
The one contain the fix size and the other will occupied the remaining space of the screen.
The first which is fix size will display on the right side of the screen and other TextView will display data on the left of the screen.
How Can i do this?

isn't that ok?
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="480dp" />
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" />

Create a LinearLayout with horizontal orientation, and match_parent width.
Put both TextViews in it. For the first on, use android:layout_width and specify the value in dp if you want the buttons physical size to be the same on every screen, or in sp if you want it to scale according to screen resolution.
For the second TextView, use android:layout_width="match_parent".

Try this code...
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="70dp" //Set the dimension
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text2" />
</LinearLayout>

Try this :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:text="dfafa"/>
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:text="dfafa"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/tv1"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Aligning an image to the right of RelativeLayout without streatching

I have a relative layout that has a background image. I set the height and width to wrap_content. Everything works fine. I want to place an image at the topRight corner of the relative layout. So I use alignParentRight = true. The problem that the relative layout now stretches horizontally to fill the screen.
I have done so much reading and I came across this "circular dependency pitfall"
From the RelativeLayout doc:
Class Overview
A Layout where the positions of the children can be described in
relation to each other or to the parent.
Note that you cannot have a circular dependency between the size of
the RelativeLayout and the position of its children. For example, you
cannot have a RelativeLayout whose height is set to WRAP_CONTENT and a
child set to ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM
Here is my XML sample
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:background="#drawable/popup_b"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ibCloseDialog"
android:background="#null"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/close" />
</RelativeLayout>
And that's exactly what I am facing. Is there any recommendation or a way to achieve what I want? I want the the Relativelayout to be as big as the background image and the image at the top right corner of that.
Thank you so much

Have you tried setting gravity to right?
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:background="#drawable/popup_b"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ibCloseDialog"
android:background="#null"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/close" />
</RelativeLayout>

I have already faced these problem and i have been solved this way.
try this may help u.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/backGroundimage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/backGroundimage" >
</ImageView>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ibCloseDialog"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/backGroundimage"
android:background="#drawable/ibCloseDialog" >
</ImageView>
</RelativeLayout>

<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:background="#drawable/popup_b"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ibCloseDialog"
android:background="#null"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/close" />
Try using this code.
Here I height and width of RelativeLayout is set to fill_parent.

Picture is too big to see all views

I have a PizzaOverview.
XML:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:text="" android:id="#+id/pizza_tv" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:textSize="15pt"></TextView>
<ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/pizza_iv" android:src="#drawable/icon" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"></ImageView>
<RatingBar android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/pizza_rb" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"></RatingBar>
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="" android:id="#+id/pizza_date" android:gravity="center|center_horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"></TextView>
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/relativeLayout2" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Button android:text="close" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/pizza_bt" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent"></Button>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
If the picture is too big the date is invisible.

add scroll view to your layout or fix the size of imageview
add the scroll view to your layout
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:text="" android:id="#+id/pizza_tv" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:textSize="15pt"></TextView>
<ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/pizza_iv" android:src="#drawable/icon" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"></ImageView>
<RatingBar android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/pizza_rb" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"></RatingBar>
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="" android:id="#+id/pizza_date" android:gravity="center|center_horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"></TextView>
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/relativeLayout2" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Button android:text="close" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/pizza_bt" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent"></Button>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

Ensure that the images you supply to the activity are the correct resolution and size.
Also make sure that you have separate layouts for separate screen size categories.
Read this section of the android documentation for more details on layouts and managing different screen sizes. It tells you the basics you'll need.

You could place your image with the rating bar and the text below it in a RelativeLayout. Give a marginBottom to your RelativeLayout equal to the height of your Button. Then place your text, give it an id and add android:layout_alignParentBottom="true". Set the height of the image to fill_parent and add attribute android:layout:below="id_of_text".

You can as the other answer states make the screen scrollable. But if your content is dynamic (and depending on device it is arguable to say you content will ALWAYS by dynamic) you should make sure the that ImageView has it's bounds set correctly.
In the source code you have:
<ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/pizza_iv" android:src="#drawable/icon" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"></ImageView>
You should instead have:
<ImageView android:layout_height="0dp"
android:weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/pizza_iv"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:scaleType="centerInside"/>
The extra attribute of weight will make your view fill any available space along the orientation set in the bounding LinearLayout. This is dependant on the weight of other views along that orientation (as the other views have no weight value in this case it will fill all space up until the edge of your fixed views).
The extra attribute of scaleType="centerInside" will make your image sit in the center of the bound's you have suggested (which are the width of the screen and all available space vertically) without ever growing large enough to overlap the bounding container.
When using ImageView you should keep in mind that the ImageView is a bounding container for an Image. It can be as large or as small as possible but is only a mechanism for telling the UI where to place an image. The scaleType attribute is what you use to say how you want the image placing within this bounding countainer. Using "wrap_content" on an ImageView isn't effective and can lead to trouble later in the design (especially when considering different devices).

Android - Two ImageViews side-by-side

I am trying to create an Activity for an Android app with two imageViews aligned side-by-side. my current layout config is as follows:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="15dip" android:paddingBottom="15dip"
android:background="#drawable/dark_bg">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/numberDays"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:src="#drawable/counter_01" />
<ImageView android:src="#drawable/counter_days"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:id="#+id/daysText"></ImageView>
</LinearLayout>
The first image will be a square (lets say 100x100) and the second image will be rectangular (300x100) - and I want them to be aligned next to each other but always be scaled to fit within the width of the device - is this possible just with layout config?
The current config just shows the first image the entire width (and almost height) of the screen and the second image is not shown at all. I have tried changing wrap_content with fill_parent and hardocding widths but that has just resulted in the both images being shown but the first image on top of the second image (both anchored left).
Thanks
UPDATED AGAIN:
I have updated my layout to look like this now including the ScrollView as recommended but no joy:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:gravity="top"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<!-- Header for activity - this has the countdown in it -->
<ScrollView android:id="#+id/ScrollView01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:background="#drawable/dark_bg" android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/numberDays"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:src="#drawable/counter_01" />
<ImageView android:src="#drawable/counter_days"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:id="#+id/daysText"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<!-- main body for the rest of the info -->
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/light_bg">
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Using the layout_weight as suggested has given both the images the right ratios and appear to be scaled perfectly, however, I am still having the problem whereby they are both anchored to the far left of the screen, so the first image is actually overlaid on top of the second image, rather than having them side by side.
Below is a screenshot of the Eclipse display:

try using layout_weight for both of the ImageView components. So something like:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="15dip"
android:paddingBottom="15dip"
android:background="#drawable/dark_bg">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/numberDays"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:src="#drawable/counter_01" />
<ImageView android:src="#drawable/counter_days"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:id="#+id/daysText"></ImageView>
</LinearLayout>
i added android:layout_weight="1" to each of them. Read up on layout_weight for LinearLayout definitions, it's very useful!

You can try creating a horizontal ScrollView with a layout_width of a pixel value greater than the two ImageViews combined, rather than fill_parent. Then place your LinearLayout inside of it.
