Question

I am trying to display two texts in a layout such that they are displayed one after the other but the following code is pasting the strings right above each other. What should I do. I tried to exchange fill_parent & wrap_content between the two textviews but it is worthless

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<TextView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="false"
    android:layout_centerVertical="false"
    android:text="@string/hello_world"
    tools:context=".StartingPoint" />
 <TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="false"
    android:layout_centerVertical="false"
    android:text="@string/testing"
    tools:context=".StartingPoint" />

Answer 1

You have to put the property below in the second TextView and set on the below property the id of the first TextView

change your two TextView by this two:

<TextView
android:id="@+id/TextView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="false"
android:layout_centerVertical="false"
android:text="@string/hello_world"
tools:context=".StartingPoint" />

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/TextView1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="false"
android:layout_centerVertical="false"
android:text="@string/testing"
tools:context=".StartingPoint" />

But you need to read the documentation at android developers first, because that is very basic.

Hope to help 🙂
