That did it! I had it as Relative and had it working in the emulator at one time but it didn't on devices so I switched some things around and when I stripped those out I forgot to switch back the layout. Going back to relative then addind in the layout_toLeftOf="right view" did the trick along with the scrollHorizontally="false".
So many options to this. Not a fan of the Android GUI, bit at least Eclipse's Graphical Layout preview helps see things. Thanks!
