LinearLayout doesn't show view

I'm using a LinearLayout that doesn't show every view.

This is the xml-code:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="160dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    tools:context="de.schumann_connection.yahtzee.DescriptionColumnFragment">

    <View
        android:layout_width="1dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="#FF000000" />

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        tools:context="de.schumann_connection.yahtzee.DescriptionColumnFragment">

        <View
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:background="#FF000000" />
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="43dp"
            android:text=""/>
        <View
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:background="#FF000000" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <View
        android:layout_width="1dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="#FF000000" />
</LinearLayout>

There are much more controls contained but this is enough to demonstrate the problem.

This should draw a black rectangle. But the right vertical line is missing. Why?

You have set view background color as transparency "android:background="#FF000000"" replace the color code "android:background="#FF0000""

Just add weight to the inner LinearLayout android:layout_width="0dp" and android:layout_weight="1"

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="160dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>

<View
    android:layout_width="1dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#FF000000" />

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    >

    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        android:background="#FF000000" />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="43dp"
        android:text="Hola"/>
    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        android:background="#FF000000" />
</LinearLayout>

<View
    android:layout_width="1dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#FF000000" />

I don't think "view" is even an object.

It looks like you would rather have a relative view, or maybe a textView or imageView.

In any case, the reason it's not showing up is because that thing doesn't exist.

THis is the wrong way to do what you're trying to do. You want a text view with a black background around it? Just add padding to your TextView on all sides and set the background color.
