It's pritty hard to explain what I like to have. In my Layout I got a horizontal LinearLayout.
Now I'd like to know if its possible to create a thin border around it. For example take a look at the ListView, there it also haves those thin borders, I exactly like to have that in my LinearLayout.
I hope you understood me, if you need more information write a comment below.
Thx in advance

Additional Information:
If you take a look at the screenshot you see there those redlines, exactly there i'd like to have those thin borders, like in my Listview up there! Under the screenshot you also find the code of the layout.
Code

What I understood from your question is that it actually might require setting the background of your layout.
This can be done by creating your own border.xml. Here is somewhat similar question answering what you need.
if all you need is to create a border then take a parentView , set background by border color ,set pading by border thikness , then add child inside with foreground as its background .

I have a LinearLayout with a custom button and then another LinearLayout with two TextViews, which is always partly cut off on the edge of the screen. I have tried tons of different combinations of fill_parents, match_parents, and wrap_contents, as well as trying to add layout_weights, but nothing solved it, nor did any answer to any similar questions on this site. Here is my XML code, thanks for any help!
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<com.goldtrimdevelopment.sites.google.com.interesthub.SquareButton
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/list_article_like_button"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="#drawable/custom_like_button"
android:contentDescription="#string/like_button"
android:padding="5dip" />
</com.goldtrimdevelopment.sites.google.com.interesthub.SquareButton>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/article_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/article_link"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textSize="12sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I figured from your xml file that you want the layout to be a custom button and to its right 2 textviews which are vertically linear, while the buttons and the textviews are horizontall linear. Try the following values in your layout. I think it must solve the issue.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" or "wrap content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
and the next linear layout as
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
and for both textviews set
android:layout_width="150dp"
try it and let me know.
I've added an image to my xml file. This is the code that I am using:
<?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="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/topbar_logo2x"
android:scaleType="fitStart" />
<TabHost
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0.5dip"
android:background="#000" />
<TabWidget
android:id="#android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="0dip"
android:layout_marginRight="0dip" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
</LinearLayout>
I want my TabHost to be exactly on top of my image. When I checked up some answers in StackOverflow, I got an answer that stated to use
android:scaleType="fitStart"
I want to use both android:scaleType="fitStart" and android:scaleType="fitEnd" on the same ImageView and that is not possible as Sndroid will allow only one declaration of scaleType. How will I be able to attain the same with change in code ? Is there some other command that will help me?
Seems to me the larger black line must come from the image (topbar_logo2x) or the way it is scaled into the ImageView. Try using scaleType="fitXY" to see if the above black line vanishes. If not, then post the image for us to look.
Seems to me the View below LinearLayout causes the smaller black line. Remove it.
I've searched for an answer for this all over but the solutions offered did not solve my problem.
I have a layout where I display some views (a few buttons and a background). To this i've added a custom control i've made extending linear layout. This control is displayed above the layout quite nicely.
What I wish to do is add an additional ImageView which is larger than this control but it will be in front of it.
edited: Sorry, I hope this will clear things up.
I have one large layout (Relative) for my activity, I would like to stack on this layout two additional views\layout so the final version will be the picture attached:
This is my layout - which stacks the imageview right on the menubar, and not over the others. Trying to put the FrameLayout elsewhere still didn't give me the wanted result.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/background">
<RelativeLayout android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="450dip">
<com.myproject.controls.SearchControl
android:id="#+id/scSearch"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<ExpandableListView android:id="#+id/lstItems"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/scSearch"
android:layout_marginLeft="26dip"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.myproject.controls.MenubarMain
android:id="#+id/mbMenuBarMain"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="bottom"
/>
<ImageView android:src="#drawable/myicon"
android:layout_width="200dip"
android:layout_height="200dip"
/>
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Not sure it this will work or not cause I'm typing this up at work. But moral of the story here is get used to using RelativeLayout. You have much more control over your layout.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/background">
<com.myproject.controls.MenubarMain
android:id="#+id/mbMenuBarMain"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
</com.myproject.controls.MenubarMain>
<com.myproject.controls.SearchControl
android:id="#+id/scSearch"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
</com.myproject.controls.SearchControl>
<ExpandableListView android:id="#+id/lstItems"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/scSearch"
android:layout_above="#id/mbMenuBarMain"
android:layout_paddingLeft="26dp"/>
<ImageView android:src="#drawable/myicon"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/mbMenuBarMain"
android:layout_alignRight="#id/mbMenuBarMain"/>
</RelativeLayout>
I would like to make the following layout, see picture below, where the place of the EditText views stay correct positioned w.r.t. the arrows.
The layout below I've made with a RelativeLayout making use of margins, but this doesn't work when someone installs this app on a 540x960 resolution phone like the HTC sensations.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Use a combination of LinearLayout and RelativeLayout. With LinearLayout you can create spaces on the screen that will be exactly alike on all devices. Let your top level container be a LinearLayout. For instance, to create the second row in the image you reffered to, do something like this:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true">
</TextView>
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true">
</TextView>
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I am trying to assign relative widths to columns in a ListView that is in a TabHost, using layout_weight as suggested here:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TabWidget android:id="#android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<FrameLayout android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/triplist"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="4px">
<TableRow>
<ListView android:id="#+id/triplistview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<Button android:id="#+id/newtripbutton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Add Trip"/>
</TableRow>
[other tabs ...]
My row definition has 4 columns that I would like to size as follows:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="1.0"
android:padding="4px">
<TextView android:id="#+id/rowtripdate"
android:layout_weight=".2"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="date"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/rowodostart"
android:layout_weight=".2"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/rowodoend"
android:layout_weight=".2"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/rowcomment"
android:layout_weight=".4"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
Unfortunately, it seems to want to fit all the columns into the space that the button occupies, as opposed to the width of the screen. Or maybe there is another constraint that I do not understand. I'd appreciate your help.

I think I forgot this property for the TableLayout element:
android:stretchColumns="0"
It appears to be working now.
I don't see anything obviously wrong in what you are showing there. To get a better picture of what is going on, you might try out the heirarchy viewer. It comes with the SDK. It will visualize for you how much space each of the "hidden" layers is taking, so you can figure out which one decided to only be that big.
