Question

I am implementing listview with 2 textviews , and for reference used Basic Layout and Formatting

Instead of stock names which are short i am using long text, so when i use a long text, it overlaps with the second .

So how to get it right, so that the 2 textviews don’t overlap each other.

You can used following code to solve your problem:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:weightSum="1">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/ticker_symbol"

         android:text="sdasd sadas"
         android:layout_weight=".5"/>
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/ticker_price"
         android:text="dfsd"
         android:layout_weight=".5"
         android:gravity="right" />
</LinearLayout>
