Question

I have this layout:

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

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/solution_title"    
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Label1"
    />  

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/solution_description"    
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Label2"
    />  

    <ListView
    android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@+id/label"
        android:textSize="20px" >        
    </ListView>

</LinearLayout>

I am combining two TextView elements with a ListView. For some reason, the TextView items render next to each other instead of one below the other. Why does that happen? And how do I make them line up one below the other?

Thanks!

Answer 1

in the LinearLayout you need to specify the orientation as follow:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:orientation="vertical" >
