Ohk, Things go fine, and i am able to design a layout like this-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/widget101" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/widget110" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" <TextView android:id="@+id/widget112" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="TextView" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" </TextView> <Button android:id="@+id/widget111" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Button" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/widget113" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Button" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" </Button> </RelativeLayout> <ListView android:id="@+id/widget114" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/tweetList" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" </ListView> </RelativeLayout> Things stay fine until i assign the adapter to the list i have created- public class MainActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ String[] data={"1","2","3"}; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); ListView tweetList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.tweetList); tweetList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.id.tweetList,data)); } } as soon as i add the last line, problems start. whats wrong? here is the structure which i want- http://lh6.ggpht.com/_o9EYB0b5APY/S8s-coQE-KI/AAAAAAAACrA/KJUl5ANBi88/desired%20layout.jpg Please assist! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
