hello, I created a simple app with 2 checkboxes a button and a text field. And I see all of these widgets on top of each other on the upper left hand corner of the screen when I run the app. In the design tab of android studio, these widgets are spaced one on top of the other. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help in advance. Here is the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context="com.example.me.a01_05_01.MainActivity"> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Hello World!" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent" app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> <CheckBox android:id="@+id/checkBox" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="CheckBox" tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="32dp" tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="47dp" /> <CheckBox android:id="@+id/checkBox2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="CheckBox" tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="32dp" tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="99dp" /> <Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Button" tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="48dp" tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="416dp" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="TextView" tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="57dp" tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="292dp" /> </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
