You do not have any layout rules to force the two widgets not to overlap. Move your ListView after the TableLayout the RelativeLayout definition in the XML, and add to it: android:layout_above="..." where ... is "@id/whatever_you_decide_to_call_your_table_layout", because you're going to need to give your TableLayout an android:id value. That will force it to stay above the TableLayout. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Beginning Android 2_ from Apress Now Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
