Question

I wanted to create a LinearLayout for my Android App with text and tables in it.
The TextView is displayed but the TableLayout is hidden or something like that.

I can’t figure out, what the problem is.

Here’s some code of my layout:

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/ListWrapper"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_gravity="top"
    android:background="@color/listBackground" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/aboutScreenMainText"
        android:text="@string/helpPage.mainText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="18dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_gravity="top"
        android:textColor="#000" />

    <TableLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TableRow
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="50dp">
            <TextView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="@string/helpPage.addNoteText" />
            <View
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="1dp"
                android:background="@color/mainTextColor">
             </View>
        </TableRow>   
    </TableLayout>

</LinearLayout>

The problem’s solution was so easy 😉
The Layout’s orientation was “horizontal” and not “vertical”.
