Hi Mark, I understand that I am doing something wrong.
All I want is to make the first textview take as much space as needed without wrapping and the second text view to wrap and display. I am not able to do this simple thing with Linear Layout. I tried giving 0px for both adn tried different combination of wrap_content, but I am not able to achieve what I want.
