Textview is too low in layout

Question

I'm using a TextView in my layout, in an Android Project. I want the TextView to start under the logo, on top of the page. How ever, it starts in the middle of the page. I coded the exact same as all my other pages, where the TextView starts on the right place. I don't know what I can do differently. Does anyone know why this is, or/and how I can fix this? This is an image of my lay-out, currently with the text in the middle of the screen, while I want it to be on top.

This is my XML code:

<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="match_parent"
    android:baselineAligned="false"
    android:measureWithLargestChild="false"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context="com.example.rodekruis.Nieuws" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
        android:src="@drawable/rkz_logo"
        android:layout_gravity="left" 
        android:layout_marginLeft="1dp"/>

     <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
        android:layout_width="40dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="40dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:layout_gravity="right" 
        android:src="@drawable/informatiebutton" />
 </FrameLayout>

     <ScrollView
         android:id="@+id/scrollview"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="364dp" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="244dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/title_activity_nieuws"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
        android:textColor="@color/black"
        android:autoLink="web" />

</ScrollView>

     <LinearLayout

        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button11"

            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="Facebook" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button12"
            style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"

            android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="Youtube" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button13"
            style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/button5"
            android:layout_below="@+id/button8"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="Twitter" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button14"
            style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"

            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="LinkedIn" />

    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

        TextView textView =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
        textView.setClickable(true);

        String text = getResources().getString(R.string.title_activity_nieuws);
        text += "<a href='https://www.rkz.nl/nieuws_agenda_nieuws'> Naar het nieuwsoverzicht </a>";
        textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));


    }

    @Override

        startActivity(intent);
    }

Answer 1

Changing android:layout_gravity="center" to android:layout_gravity="top" from the TextView should fix it.

From what I can tell, your scrollview is 364p, and the TextView is positioning itself centrally in this. Did you mean to use android:gravity="center", which will centre the contents of the TextView rather than the TextView itself?

Answer 2

change this line in your textview:

android:layout_gravity="center"

to

android:layout_gravity="top"
