Strange layout of my textview

On my view I want a small piece of space reserved for a title. Beneath that there must be a textview filling the remaining space. This is how my layout looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10sp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10sp">

    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/text_titel"
        style="@style/DetailTextTitel" 
        android:textSize="14sp"
        android:layout_weight="0.1"/>

    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/text1"
        style="@style/DetailTextText" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="0dip"
        android:textSize="10sp"
        android:autoLink="web"
        android:layout_weight="1.9"/>

</LinearLayout>

However this makes my "text1" Textview center in the middle of the screen with a very small width. My app contains a lot of different layouts (text and image, or 2 images and a small text, one big image) which can be viewed and all work fine except this one. Can someone spot the problem in my layout?

EDIT This are the defined styles for DetailTextTitel and DetailTextText:

<style name="DetailTextTitel">
        <item name="android:paddingTop">10sp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#28465a</item>
        <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
    </style>

    <style name="DetailTextText">
        <item name="android:textColor">#28465a</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">10sp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
    </style>

EDIT also added a screenshot:

Found the problem. Turns out I was inflating the wrong layout -_-.. Thats what happens when your app contains 50+ different layouts.

However thanks for the support.

You are missing these attributes for textview with id text_titel

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>    
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="10sp"
android:layout_marginRight="10sp">

<TextView 
    android:id="@+id/text_titel"
    android:textSize="14sp"
    android:paddingTop="20dp"
    android:text="DetailTextTitel"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="#28465a"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:layout_weight="0.1"/>

<TextView 
    android:id="@+id/text1"

    android:text="DetailTextText"
    android:textSize="10sp"
    android:textColor="#28465a"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:layout_weight="1.9"/>

 </LinearLayout>

Not sure this will fix your problem (with Android layouts it's always been a bit of trial and error for me). However why don't you try:

  • Assigning height as 0dp to the upper text view
  • Checking that the referenced styles do not contain properties that will mess with the representation of the views referencing them
  • Uploading a screenshot

Edit

  • Try removing the height definition from the styles (if they apply to this layout only! - otherwise create new styles)
  • Try either removing the width definition from the styles (same pre-condition) or from the text views
