I need to hold my every view in one layout, so that i can move them all at once… But when i tried to put them all in a layout which should be in another main layout, they cannot be seen. What am i doing wrong?

I found out that the layout called leftLayout cannot be seen. I made different colours of layouts and it showed me the main one, called menu. I tried visibility true but it didn’t work as well.

My design page is like this:

enter image description here

It should appear like this, but i see only white window when i compile…

Here’s my Xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/menu"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/leftLayout"
    android:addStatesFromChildren="true"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_marginLeft="70dp"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/leftMenu"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:text="Left Menu"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:textColor="#000000" />

 <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
        android:enabled="true" >
    </ListView>

</RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Solved! I figured out that i was just doing mistake in java codes, while setting margin. So here the code’s allright.

    In relative layout you always need specify the location of each child with respect to the parent or the between the children. Since you have specified the layout all the layouts will be copied one over the other. You can use child alignment options like “ABOVE”, “BELOW” w.r.t to other layouts.
    The below code looked like what you wanted,

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:id="@+id/menu" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:background="#FFFFFF" 
    android:orientation="vertical" > 

<RelativeLayout 
    android:id="@+id/leftLayout" 
    android:addStatesFromChildren="true" 
    android:layout_width="100dp" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_alignleft="@+id/menu" > 

<TextView 
    android:id="@+id/leftMenu" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:enabled="true" 
    android:text="Left Menu" 
    android:layout_weight="0"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" 
    android:textColor="#000000" /> 

<ListView 
    android:id="@+id/list"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:enabled="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_below="@+id/leftMenu" > 
</ListView> 

</RelativeLayout>
