You must supply layout_width attribute exception

Question

I have a layout which has title on the top 2 buttons at the bottom and some text views and Edit text in between. I am willing to put these EditText and Text views in scroll view so that I can scroll and EditText does not hide behind keyboard.

Here is my XML file, I am sorry its bit lengthy, but pls, look into this and let me know what is wrong int this. I always get
java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #73: You must supply a layout_width attribute. I have tried changing width and height lot of ways but i always get this error.

Answer 1

Sachin's answer is a solution for your problem specifically. I just want to add my two cent's worth by saying that, in Eclipse, by switching from the XML view to the Graphical Layout tab, Eclipse tried to parse the XML, found problems with it and suggested quick fixes, which worked like magic. Did not need to start the app in emulator just to see the stacktrace as it exploded.

Answer 2

Your ScrollView has android.layout_width instead of android:layout_width ... similarly layout_height

Observe the dot instead of the colon

That could be your problem
