Android List Below Toggle Buttons -

i have list intended below toggle buttons. list grabs data server , parses them. xml follows:

<?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="wrap_content"     android:orientation="horizontal" >      <togglebutton         android:id="@+id/toggle_button1"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_weight="1"         android:textoff="apps"         android:texton="apps" />      <togglebutton         android:id="@+id/toggle_button2"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_torightof="@id/toggle_button1"         android:layout_weight="1"         android:textoff="vms"         android:texton="vms" />      <togglebutton         android:id="@+id/toggle_button3"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_torightof="@id/toggle_button2"         android:layout_weight="1"         android:textoff="groups"         android:texton="groups" />      <listview         android:id="@+id/mylist"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_below="@id/toggle_button1" /> </relativelayout> 

code actual fragment:

public class problemfragment extends sherlocklistfragment {     private separatedlistadapter list;      public void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate)     {         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         this.getsherlockactivity().setcontentview(r.layout.problem_layout);          list = new separatedlistadapter(this.getsherlockactivity(), new layout(r.layout.separated_list_adapter_two_text, r.id.two_text_title, r.id.two_text_desc));         togglebutton b1 = (togglebutton) this.getsherlockactivity().findviewbyid(r.id.toggle_button1);         togglebutton b2 = (togglebutton) this.getsherlockactivity().findviewbyid(r.id.toggle_button2);         togglebutton b3 = (togglebutton) this.getsherlockactivity().findviewbyid(r.id.toggle_button3);          setlistadapter(list);         refresh();     }      public void refresh()     {         list = new separatedlistadapter(this.getsherlockactivity(), new layout(r.layout.separated_list_adapter_two_text, r.id.two_text_title, r.id.two_text_desc));         refreshstats();     }      public void refreshstats()     {         //omitted parsing code          list.addsection(new string("hello world!!"));         setlistadapter(list);     } } 

however, when use setlistadapter(list), buttons overwritten. visible before app retrieves data , parses it, overwritten after call setlistadapter. how can fix this?

first, remove

 android:orientation="horizontal" 

from root layout. relativelayout doesn't have orientation property. also, weight child elements of linearlayout , when use should assign width of each child view 0dp horizontal orientation , height="0dp" vertical orientation.

then wrap togglebuttons in linearlayout, vertical or horizontal orientation, , give property

android:layout_alignparenttop="true" 

then give listview property

android:layout_below="@id/idoflinearlayout" 

so may like

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <relativelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent" >     <linearlayout          android:id="@+id/togglell"          android:layout_width="match_parent"          android:layout_height="wrap_content"          android:layout_alignparenttop="true">     <togglebutton         android:id="@+id/toggle_button1"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textoff="apps"         android:texton="apps" />      <togglebutton         android:id="@+id/toggle_button2"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textoff="vms"         android:texton="vms" />      <togglebutton         android:id="@+id/toggle_button3"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textoff="groups"         android:texton="groups" />     </linearlayout>     <listview         android:id="@+id/mylist"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_below="@id/togglell" /> </relativelayout> 

i removed relativelayout properties togglebuttons since wrapped in linearlayout. , had circular view error there assigning second togglebutton right of may have been copy/paste error. hope helps.

note default orientation linearlayout horizontal leaving property out give effect.
