Try using a relative layout linear from my understanding won't let you lay objects on top of each other. Or an absolute layout but those aren't too good when it comes to scaling up/down for different screen sizes.

I tried this <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <CheckBox android:id="@+id/CheckBox01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:clickable="true" android:text="Chains"></CheckBox> <View android:id="@+id/divider" android:background="@drawable/ black_white_gradient" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="1dp" /> <ListView android:id="@+id/ListView01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> </LinearLayout> with this lView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.ListView01); //lView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list); // Set option as Multiple Choice. So that user can able to select more the one option from list lView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_single_choice, lv_items)); lView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE); lView.setItemChecked(0, true); but it didn't work. I can't seem to get a checkbox on top of a listview properly. I also would like for the words to be to the left of the checkbox. Any help on this would be much appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
