What I'm trying to achieve is this: A label with "Band" in it, and next to it a textbox in which to type the band's name, then underneath the "Band" label a label "Members", and next to it a textbox to type the members. Then underneath all of this, a save button and a cancel button.
Undortunately, all my attempts to use a linearlayout have caused the buttons to disappear.... Thanks for the advice on the hierarchyviewer though. I'm now able to see whats happening, but it still makes no difference. I can't make it display the way I want it to On 5 Sep, 22:30, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > Carl wrote: > > I'm trying to show a simple layout where I can call this activity and > > fill in some values, then hit the save or cancel button.
