I’m going to switch this to use a Table instead of a ListView, but

  • 0

I’m going to switch this to use a Table instead of a ListView, but my concern is that these items are not relative as they should be given the provided XML.

Is there something about the RelativeLayout being inside of Linear that’s causing an issue?

enter image description here

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

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

    <ViewSwitcher
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/dashboardViewSwitcher" android:layout_gravity="center">
        <RelativeLayout
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content">
            <include
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    layout="@layout/loading" />
        </RelativeLayout>
        <RelativeLayout
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <TextView
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="@string/dashboardActivity_Header"
                    android:id="@+id/dashboardActivityHeader"/>
            <ListView
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:id="@+id/dashboardActivityList"/>

            <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                      android:text="@string/dashboardNews_Header"
                      android:id="@+id/dasboardNewsHeader"/>
            <ListView
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:id="@+id/dashboardNewsList"/>
        </RelativeLayout>
    </ViewSwitcher>
</LinearLayout>

    You should declare what the components are relative to in the layout using android:layout_below, android:layout_toLeftOf, etc.

    For example: 

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <TextView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="@string/dashboardActivity_Header"
                android:id="@+id/dashboardActivityHeader"/>
        <ListView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_below="@id/dashboardActivityHeader"
                android:id="@+id/dashboardActivityList"/>

       </RelativeLayout>
