The problem is that once the TextView gets really big, none of the controls in the RelativeLayout are visible. Yes there is more than just a checkbox now - requirements change :-( I suspect the problem might be that Android can only layout "top down". Once the TextView has been sized, it won't be shrunk to allow the RelativeLayout to fit. At least I just haven't been able to get a working "flexy-size" view anywhere other than as the last view. Maybe there's some magic in the layouts somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it.
