Question

I have a RelativeLayout with one child as <include another.xml>

like this root.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/root"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:orientation="horizontal">
<include layout="@layout/another.xml"/>
</RelativeLayout>

My question is does Android honour the android:layout_alignParentRight="true" at the
top level of my another.xml?

My another.xml is like this:

<RelativelLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/control_panel"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:orientation="vertical">
</RelativeLayout>

Basically, I want all the views in my another.xml to be right aligned to my root.
I have tried above, but the views in my another.xml is left aligned to my root.

Thank you.

No. You have to do something like this and Orientation is for LinearLayout only

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/root"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >


    <RelativelLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true" >
    <include layout="@layout/another.xml" />
    </RelativelLayout>

</RelativeLayout><RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>
