Thanks for your reply. I tried that, but it didn't work. I then tried several other arrangements and finally ended up with something much closer to what I want. Then I tried deleting the weight specifications - and it kept on working! What I ended up with was: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/controls" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <TextView android:id="@+id/comment_label" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/comment_label"/> <EditText android:id="@+id/comment" android:layout_alignTop="@id/comment_label" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/comment_label" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"/> <CheckBox android:id="@+id/close" android:layout_below="@id/comment" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="30sp" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="@string/edit_close"/> </RelativeLayout> <ScrollView android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_above="@id/controls" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <TextView android:id="@+id/comments" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text=""/> </ScrollView> </RelativeLayout> It isn't *exactly* what I wanted (which was for the "id/comments" TextView to shrink when there was less text), but it's now as close as makes no difference. Thanks for your help - the layout is much better now. -- Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
