Thanks TreKing, Now that I have seen how to use the layout_weight parameter properly I was able to insert a decent row of buttons both at the top and at the bottom of the list view. However my concern now is in the top row. When the button labeled "SCHEDULE DATE HERE" has text which is too long it runs under the other two buttons which is not what I want. Instead when its text grows I would like the text to wrap like in the buttons in the bottom row (the buttons in the bottom row will not overlap even when their text property is a very long string). In the top row I need the first button on the left and the other two on the right.
How can I fix this? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"> <!-- Header --> <TextView android:text="@string/schedule_title" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:gravity="center"></TextView> <!-- List Divider --> <View android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="1dip" android:background="?android:attr/listDivider" /> <!-- top row --> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/dateButton" android:text="SCHEDULE DATE HERE" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/prevButton" android:text="[Prev]"/> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/nextButton" android:text="[Next]"/> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout> <!-- schedule list --> <ListView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/listview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"></ListView> <!-- bottom row of buttons --> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/showScheduleButton" android:text="@string/schedule_showAlarmGroups" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/alarmsOnOffButton" android:text="@string/schedule_alarmsOn" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/> </RelativeLayout> </LinearLayout> Regards, John Goche -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
