<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:isScrollContainer="true"
>

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/et_name"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"

        android:visibility="visible"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:nextFocusDown="@+id/mark"/>

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/et_age"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:inputType="numberDecimal"

        android:visibility="visible"
        android:maxLength="3"
        android:maxLines="1"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_save"
        android:text="@string/save"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:onClick="onButtonClick"
