Question

I have designed the screen using this relative layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<AutoCompleteTextView
    android:id="@+id/EditText01"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignRight="@+id/EditText01"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_notification_clear_all" />

<AutoCompleteTextView
    android:id="@+id/EditText02"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/EditText01" />

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/imageButton2"
    android:layout_width="24dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_alignTop="@+id/EditText02"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_notification_clear_all" />

What changes should i do so that the image is right aligned to the auto-complete text box.??
Thanks in advance..

android:layout_alignRight="@+id/EditText01" means that your button wants his right edge aligned with the EditTexts right edge. What you actually want is that the buttons left edge is aligned with the EditTexts right edge. That is android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/EditText01"

Edit – that’s what you want I guess

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_notification_clear_all" />

<AutoCompleteTextView
    android:id="@+id/EditText01"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/imageButton1" />

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/imageButton2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/EditText01"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_notification_clear_all" />

<AutoCompleteTextView
    android:id="@+id/EditText02"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignRight="@+id/EditText01"
    android:layout_below="@+id/EditText01"
 />
