android layout below,xml - Android Layout Below and Above - Stack Overflow

Define a LinearLayout with height="wrap_content" and width="fill_parent".

You can overcome your problem with two ways. Either add android:layout_below="@id/TextViewExample" in your Textviews or use android:layout_marginTop="10dip"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:background="@android:color/black" >

android:id="@+id/firsttext"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:background="@android:color/white"

android:text="first"

android:layout_marginTop="10dip"

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

android:id="@+id/secondtext"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_below="@id/firsttext"

android:background="@android:color/white"

android:text="second"

android:layout_below="@id/firstText"

android:layout_marginTop="20dip"

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

android:id="@+id/thirdtext"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_below="@id/secondtext"

android:background="@android:color/white"

android:text="third"

android:layout_marginTop="30dip"
