Trying to add a text field to a small layout?

I'm trying to insert a text field or button into a small layout bar but for some reason its not showing.

<?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="match_parent"
    android:background="#d1cbcb">


    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:background="#767eca">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text = "Ankosh"
            android:textColor="#ffffff"
            android:textSize="20sp"></TextView>
</RelativeLayout>
   </LinearLayout>

Change layout_height to wrap_content and if you want textview height 50dp then use that inside TextView

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="#767eca">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:text = "Ankosh"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:textSize="20sp"></TextView>

You have to change the height of the inner relative layout or mark it as wrap_content

<?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="match_parent"
    android:background="#d1cbcb">


    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#767eca">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text = "Ankosh"
            android:textColor="#ffffff"
            android:textSize="20sp"></TextView>
</RelativeLayout>
   </LinearLayout>
