Thank you for your helpful post.
I have been trying to create a custom ListView layout for a long time now, but always struggled with simple problems. Thanks to you, I now redesigned my layout and now everything works well – THANK YOU!

To those with problems with lines not appearing, I had to change the way I was inflating the layout in my Adapter.

from: myView = layoutInflater.inflate(resID, null);
to: myView = layoutInflater.inflate(resID, parent, false);

I tried adding an android:id=”@+id/title” to the “My Application” line and then it stops displaying Text…

Why is that if there is no ID it works but adding an ID breaks it? that doesn’t make sense

Like @Uberto says. The Second line doesn’t show either on Android 1.6 :( Also, I’ve been using TableLayout for this and the scrolling looks rendering it on a list smoother than using RelativeLayout.

Thanks for the post!

It doesn’t work here either, only the second line is visible. Android 1.6 on emulator.

sorry the dosn’t show, but the idea is to do a main relative layout with another one inside to allow the two first elements to take all the allowed space, then with a fixed padding right let the space for the thired element. The question is: is it still more performant to have two nested relative layouts rather than one linear layout?
