TextView must be declared relative to the parent. If you say that A (guide) is under B (title) and B is above A all you have is a circular dependency. You must use a fixed View for the TextBox, which is the parent. Use these type of attributes for it instead of layout_above (align_ParentTop is the best choice if you'd ask me): android:layout_alignParentBottom If true, makes the bottom edge of this view match the bottom edge of the parent. android:layout_alignParentLeft If true, makes the left edge of this view match the left edge of the parent. android:layout_alignParentRight If true, makes the right edge of this view match the right edge of the parent. android:layout_alignParentTop If true, makes the top edge of this view match the top edge of the parent.
Also, listen to what Mark says about ID's and take a look at the layout examples in the APIDemos.
