Try removing the weight from the EditText and making the height of the TextView 0dip. The LinearLayout takes the unused space it has and distributes it out to the children with weight assigned. Each child with a weight gets a size based on its own weight dived by the total weight requested.

I have an EditText and a TextView in a LinearLayout, like this: <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <EditText android:id="@+id/status" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:gravity="top" android:paddingLeft="3dip" android:paddingRight="3dip" android:layout_weight="1"/> <TextView android:id="@+id/timeline" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:gravity="top" android:paddingLeft="3dip" android:paddingRight="3dip" android:scrollbars="vertical" /> </LinearLayout> I want the EditExt to be one line, the TextView to fill up the rest of the screen. Ideally, the EditText would still grow with the number of lines the user types. I've tried android:height, android:maxHeight, android:singleLine, but nothing seems to work. I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple..... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
