I am new to Android, Im trying to set an
android:layout_weight="1"
on editView .
first of all, its quite odd, because I cant see it on the properties window.
and when I set it on the code, it does not do anything
this is my code :
<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=".StatusActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
android:layout_marginTop="19dp"
android:text="TextView" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_alignRight="@+id/editText1"
android:layout_marginRight="19dp"
android:text="TextView" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/editText1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="59dp"
android:text="Button" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="28dp"
android:ems="10"
android:layout_weight="1" />
why does the layout_weight doesnt show in the properites window ? and how come does it doesnt do anything when I place it on the code?

Assigning weight to layout is only eligible for Linear Layout
. Rest of the layouts will ignore this.

You will only use layout-weight for Linear layout.
And other thing is you put an weightsum is equal to some value to Linear layout and distribute equally weight to the views by using layout-weight.
