This RelativeLayout layout or its LinearLayout parent is useless
android, android-layout, layout
Solution
You either ignore it or right click your project. Click `Build Path->Configure Build Path...`. Under `Android Lint Preferences` look for `UselessParent` and set it's severity to ignore or click `Ignore All`.
EDIT:
I take that last part back. I think `Ignore All` will wipe all Lint warnings and errors.
Problem
I'm developing an Android 3.1. and above application. On one activity I generate its layout dynamically. I'm using formdetail.xml as contentview: ``` @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.formdetail); Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); if (extras != null) { currentFormId = extras.getString("FormId"); } } ``` formdetail.xml : ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/detailLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <Button android:id="@+id/downloadFormsButton" android:enabled="false" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="10dp" android:text="@string/download_forms_button" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/formErrorMsg" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="10dp" android:textSize="16dp" > </TextView> </RelativeLayout> </LinearLayout> ``` `downloadFormsButton` and `formErrorMsg` must be always in form. But using that xml I get this warning: `This RelativeLayout layout or its LinearLayout parent is useless` I need linearLayout to add TableLayouts programmatically. How can I solve this warning?
