Question

I am trying to make a simple android application. I ma using the android version 2.3.3. I have used the following code for displaying a EditText box in my xml file:

<?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:background="#FFFFFF"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/ll1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/username"
            android:textColor="#000000" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/username"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="text"
            android:text="" >

            <requestFocus />
        </EditText>
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/ll2"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/password"
            android:textColor="#000000" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/password"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="textPassword" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/ll3"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <CheckBox
            android:id="@+id/remember_me"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/remember_me"
            android:textColor="#000000" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/ll4"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <Button

            android:id="@+id/signInButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/signIn" >
        </Button>
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/ll5"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/forgot_password"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/forgot_password"
            android:textColor="#000000" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/ll6"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/createAccountButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/create_account" >
        </Button>
    </LinearLayout>
