Question

I have layout like this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:background="@drawable/bgr">
    <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            >
        <TextView android:layout_width="60dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:id="@+id/label"
                  style="@style/ConnectionPoint.Label"
                  android:text="Title"
                />
        <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:id="@+id/code"
                  style="@style/ConnectionPoint.Code"
                  android:text="CODE"
                />
        <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:id="@+id/name"
                  android:layout_toRightOf="@id/label"
                  android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/code"
                  style="@style/ConnectionPoint.Name"
                  android:text="Some text"
                />
    </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

And the styles:

<style name="ConnectionPoint.Text" parent="android:TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:layout_alignParentBottom">true</item>
</style>
<style name="ConnectionPoint.Label" parent="ConnectionPoint.Text">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/from_to</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginLeft">5dp</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginRight">10dp</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">16dp</item>
</style>
<style name="ConnectionPoint.Name" parent="ConnectionPoint.Text">
    <item name="android:textSize">26dp</item>
    <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
    <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
    <item name="android:ellipsize">end</item>
</style>
<style name="ConnectionPoint.Code" parent="ConnectionPoint.Text">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/iata</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">18dp</item>
    <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
    <item name="android:layout_alignParentRight">true</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginRight">5dp</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginLeft">5dp</item>
</style>

But in the result TextViews are not properly aligned:

I want them to be aligned by bottom and can’t understand why RelativeLayout can’t do this. What should I do to make RelativeLayout align TextViews?

Answer 1

Unfortunately the only working solution is not to use LinearLayout instead of nested RelativeLayout
