Circular dependencies cannot exist in RelativeLayout, android?
android, android-layout, android-relativelayout
Solution
The problem is caused because there is a circular reference in the layout parameters.
For example, when view B is layout_below view A, view A can't reference view B anymore in it's below, alignRight etc. This can also exist between multiple views: A references B references C. In that scenario C can't reference A because of a circular dependency.
You Used :-
bottomLinearLayout is below scrollView1 And then you said that scrollView1 is above bottomLinearLayout
It dosen't work like that. Use one
Problem
I have the following layout: I need to keep the button at the bottom of screen and it should be visible to the user. The rest of the layout should scroll. ``` <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context="com.vfc.sargroup.SalesOrderActivity$PlaceholderFragment" > <ScrollView android:id="@+id/scrollView1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_above="@+id/bottomLinearLayout" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Select Distributor Name" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /> <Spinner android:id="@+id/spinner1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Payment Collection" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /> <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" > </EditText> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Product Category" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /> <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" > <requestFocus /> </EditText> <TableLayout android:id="@+id/salesTableLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="20dp" android:layout_marginRight="20dp" android:stretchColumns="*" > </TableLayout> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Total QTY" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /> <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" > <requestFocus /> </EditText> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Total Price" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /> <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" > <requestFocus /> </EditText> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Remark" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /> <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" > </EditText> </LinearLayout> </ScrollView> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/bottomLinearLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_below="@+id/scrollView1" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:orientation="vertical" > <Button android:id="@+id/button1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Submit" /> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout> ``` I just need to do scroll my view and keep the button appeared on the screen at the bottom. The problem is with ``` android:layout_above="@+id/bottomLinearLayout" ``` I get the error ``` Circular dependencies cannot exist in RelativeLayout ``` What is wrong with my layout?
