Question

I’m using file main.xml to design UI in Android. I don’t know why the last TextView (id: ImageDescription) doesn’t work. If I delete ImageView tag, the last TextView will work again.
Here is my screenshot. the first in when no ImageView tag, and the second when has ImageView

As you see, when has image, I cannot see line Image descriptor: a cartoon tiger.
Here is my main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/imageTitle"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/test_image_title"/>

     <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/imageDate"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/test_image_date"/>


     <ImageView
         android:id="@+id/imageDisplay"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:contentDescription="@string/test_contentDescription"
         android:src="@drawable/test_image"/>

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <TextView 
            android:id="@+id/imageDescription"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/test_image_description"/>
    </ScrollView>         

</LinearLayout>

thanks for help me 🙂

You are adding your imageDescription textview below imageview and that too your scrollview has both with and hight as fill_parent, once try this

 <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/imageDate"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/test_image_date"/>


    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <TextView 
            android:id="@+id/imageDescription"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/test_image_description"/>
    </ScrollView> 

     <ImageView
         android:id="@+id/imageDisplay"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:contentDescription="@string/test_contentDescription"
         android:src="@drawable/test_image"/>

I think image is too big, if it’s the case try by specifying layout:weight parameter for both image and text view in proper percentage.
