Makes sense Andrei. Thanks for the reply. So I made the change you suggested and it still has not changed the layout. Any other suggestions? Here is my current xml code after these suggested changes: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/#0000FF" android:padding="10px" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:id="@+id/title" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_above="@id/guide" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="BirdTracker Main Menu" /> <Button android:id="@id/guide" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@id/title" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="Field Guide " /> <Button android:id="@+id/takepic" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@id/guide" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="Take Picture" /> </RelativeLayout> _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrei Bucur Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 1:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [android-beginners] Re: RelativeView I guess that your title has no relative position to anyone so the dependence tree cannot be parsed. Align the TextView below the parent and see if it works. On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 9:30 PM, tinyang <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks for the reply Mark! I did make the changes you suggested, but it has not changed the layout. I also corrected an id line that should have had a +.

In your layout_below, remove the + sign. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 In Print!
