Thanks Romain, although I'd be interested in any tips on how to get around that? Would I have to implement my own custom ListView sub- class, or where should I start?
What I also don't quite understand is why I get the same result even if I embed a second inner RelativeLayout inside the outer one and set "wrap_content" on that one as well. Even if it only encloses those two small TextViews (for which wrap_content does work) it still grows to fill the parent. It's as if "wrap_content" is overruled by the ListView for _all_ ViewGroups found in the entire hierarchy of the list item? What am I missing here?
