        android:text="@string/distance"
        android:textSize="12sp" />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/location_spinner"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/label_distance"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/label_distance"
        />

Try this layout

    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/get_address_button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:onClick="getAddress"
        android:text="getAddress" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/text_parent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/get_address_button" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/label_address"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_marginTop="21dp"
            android:text="Address 
        this is line 1
        this is line 2
        this is line 3
        "
            android:textSize="12sp" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/address"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/label_address"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"

            android:textIsSelectable="true"

    </LinearLayout>

    <ProgressBar

        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:indeterminate="true"
        android:visibility="gone" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/label_distance"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/get_address_button"
        android:layout_marginTop="21dp"
        android:text="Distance"
        android:textSize="12sp" />

    <Spinner

Answer 2

I m not sure where you want to position it,but if you want to position your 2nd text to the left/right/bottom/top then you can do something like this

1) take reference of your second Text View and and use yourTextView.setGravity(GRAVITY.LEFT/RIGHT/TOP/BOTTOM)

Answer 3

Do it with RelativeLayout, and the atribute android:below="@+id/idofyourmultilineedittext" hope it helps
