Question

I’d like to right align this gridview so that it’s flush against the right side of the screen, but it seems to always immediately follow whichever textview I set it to the right of. Not only that, but all of the textviews are displayed on top of each other.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:text="@string/time_left"
              android:textSize="30sp"
              android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
              android:id="@+id/time_left_label"/>
    <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:id="@+id/time_left"
              android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
              android:layout_below="@id/time_left_label"/>
    <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:text="@string/progress"
              android:textSize="30sp"
              android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
              android:layout_below="@id/time_left"
              android:id="@+id/progress_label" />
    <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:id="@+id/progress"
              android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
              android:layout_below="@id/progress_label"/>
    <GridView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:id="@+id/main_grid"
              android:numColumns="2"
              android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
              android:layout_toRightOf="@id/time_left_label"
              android:stretchMode="none" />
</RelativeLayout>

How exactly do you want it aligned? You mention what it does, but not what you want.

it seems to…follow whichever textview I set it to the right of

Welll, you’re using layout_alignParentRight and layout_toRightOf.

the textviews are displayed on top of each other.

Placing your TextViews underneath each other won’t stack them. You can use a LinearLayout with its orientation set to vertical or you could use layout_below to place them under each other.
