Android layout : Align a TextView and a Spinner

alignment, android, android-layout, spinner, textview

Solution

I guess you want the Spinner to the right of the TextView? Check the following code:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/labelSpinner1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:text="@string/textSpinner1" />

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/spinner_days"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignBaseline="@id/labelSpinner1"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/labelSpinner1"
    android:drawSelectorOnTop="true" />

Your problem was that the spinner filled the whole view (`android:layout_width="fill_parent"`) while you forced the TextView to be right of the Spinner (so outside of the screen --> invisible for you)

Problem

I would like to align a textview (saying : "Day :") with a Spinner where the user can choose the day of the week he wants (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) when I try to align them : ``` <TextView android:id="@+id/labelSpinner1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/textSpinner1" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/spinner_days" android:layout_alignParentTop="true"/> <Spinner android:id="@+id/spinner_days" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/labelSpinner1" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"/> ``` the result I get is that I only see the Spinner, and the TextView isn't showing (or is underneath the Spinner) Thank you for your help!
