        android:layout_height="0dp" />
</LinearLayout>

It is basically a timer with hours, a ":" and then minutes. For some reason though, the edittext both, when the app launches, are all the way at the top of the layout, only halfway visible. I need to scroll the 00 down to have them on the same hight as the colon.

a.) why can I scroll those? I dont want to scroll them! b.) Even if they are scrollable (which I assume I can disable...) why are they always so far up, that they overlap half the layout and therfore are only halfway visible?

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks!
