Remove android:layout_weight="0.01" android:orientation="horizontal" this two properties from your RelativeLayout and then check.

android:layout_weight doesn't work in a RelativeLayout, it's for LinearLayout. So make your EditTexts and Spinner's android:layout_width="wrap_content".

Linear layout you can assign orientation but in relative layouts its overlap one another so you need to make id for each and make layout_below in each views

layout_weight does not work in a RelativeLayout, it's for LinearLayouts. So your EditTexts and Spinners are all 0dp wide and thus not visible.
