Question

I have a linearlayout in which i have one image view, one textview, two edittext and button.

When i run my application in emulator or in my device the height of the edittexts seems bigger in size rather they should be single line edittext boxes.

My layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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="@android:color/white">
    <TextView android:id="@+id/item_blank" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:padding="2dp" 
        android:textSize="14dp" 
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
        android:background="@android:color/white" 
        android:text=" "/>
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/test_image" 
        android:src="@drawable/logo_infraline_energy"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_gravity="center"/>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/item_title" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:padding="2dp" 
        android:textSize="14dp" 
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
        android:background="@android:color/white" 
        android:text="Please put in your valid credentials to get access."/>
    <EditText android:id="@+id/userName" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress" 
        android:layout_weight="1" 
        android:height="30dp"
        android:hint="Email Address" />
    <EditText android:id="@+id/password" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:hint="Password"
        android:height="30dp" 
        android:password="true" />
    <Button android:id="@+id/loginButton" 
        android:text="Login"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:onClick="login" />
</LinearLayout>

Remove the Line:

android:layout_weight=”1″

from both EditTexts and your EditTexts will be single lined. Cheers.
