Question

I Want to create an android activity which will have few vertical stripes, here is my code:

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:background="#CCCCCC" >
</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="250dp"
    android:background="#FFFFFF" >
</LinearLayout>

As you can see the upper stripe is 50 dp and the bottom stripe is 250 dp. the problem is that I am seeing only one stripe, here is what I see:

I see only one stripe.

How should I do this right?
Thanks

I think your parent LinearLayout‘s orientation attribute is horizontal. If you make its orientation (android:orientation) set to vertical the problem should be fixed.

Please post your whole layout file.
