I have tried a Relative layout containing 3 Linear layouts. I'd like to get a thin top layout, a thin bottom layout and a middle layout that takes the available space in between. Here is the XML of my layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:id="@+id/LinearLayout_top" android:layout_marginLeft="20dip" android:layout_marginRight="20dip"> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/LinearLayout_mid" android:layout_below="@id/ LinearLayout_top" X android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_above="@id/ LinearLayout_bottom"> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:id="@+id/ LinearLayout_bottom" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_marginLeft="20dip" android:layout_marginRight="20dip"> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout> My problem is that I get an error with the layout_above property as shown below Description Resource Path Location Type ERROR Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'layout_above' with value '@id/LinearLayout_bottom'). main.xml openmokast-control-android/res/layout line 28 Android AAPT Problem Any help would be appreciated...
