Widget ListView loading view

I'm trying to display a dynamic list on a widget and so far i've been able to display my 3 headers (which are simply textview inside a linearlayout) but for my items (2 textview in one linearlayout inside another linear layout) the view displays Loading... instead of the content (a task label).
I've already bumped getViewTypeCount to 2 in my RemoteViewsFactory to match the number of views returned by the getViewAt.
I can't figure out what is wrong inside this layout that would cause a problem:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingTop="3dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
style="#style/SelectableItemBackground"
android:id="#+id/widget_item"
>
<LinearLayout
android:paddingLeft="22dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="•"
android:paddingRight="6dp"
android:textSize="17dp"
android:textColor="#color/colorText" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/widget_item_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="17dp"
android:textColor="#color/colorText" />
</LinearLayout>
Thank you for reading :)

To anyone reading this, i have been able to solve it by suppressing the style attribute

What is the right way to use two scrollviews in a single activity?

This is my current design in my main activity.
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtSubestacion"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="Subestacion"
android:textSize="18sp" />
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spSubestacion"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtClasificacion"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="350dp"
android:paddingTop="30dp"
android:paddingBottom="10dp">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearEventos"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" />
</ScrollView>

android:text="Actualizar Registros" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
I have a second scrollview inside the first one because this one is filled with multiple labels created from code. These labels can take up a lot of space, so a scrollview is suitable for proper navigation.
The first scrollview that contains everything is so that when changing the screen in landscape mode, you can continue browsing and access all the controls that are displayed.
The problem is that when changing the screen in landscape mode, only the first scrollview works, which allows you to see all the controls correctly. However, the second scrollview showing the records cannot be moved, and therefore the records are cut.
Is there a way to freeze the first scrollview when the user wants to slide the records and allow the second scrollview to be moved?
Or is it that I should create my design differently?
Note: Everything works correctly with the screen in portrait mode. All the controls are accessible at first instance and the second scrollview can be slid correctly allowing to see the records.
I've tried working with the layout_weight property but it didn't work for me or I just didn't know how to use it.

Use this:
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<!-- Other Layout or scrollView-->
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
Android site: NestedScroll

Text size in the app too small

Edit: Thanks to everybody that helped. I found a text size library that fixes this problem.
Since I upgraded to Android Studio 3.0.1,
the text size in my app is on some devices way too small.
What can I do about that?
I put my layout file below
Thanks
And here is my layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/listlayout2"
android:weightSum="1"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/headerImageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="140dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:visibility="gone"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/example" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/listlayout"
android:padding="16sp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<ImageView
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="20sp"
android:layout_height="20sp"
android:id="#+id/itemicon"
android:contentDescription="icon"
android:src="#drawable/settings"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:layout_marginStart="0dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:text="Testtext"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginStart="14sp"
android:layout_marginLeft="14sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1.2dp"
app:srcCompat="#color/example"
android:id="#+id/divider"
android:layout_weight="0.03"
android:visibility="gone"/>
</LinearLayout>
It is used in a custom navigation drawer item.

You need to enter code here to set text appearance it displays as per system need
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge

Just use:
android:textSize="30sp"
to change the text size and adapt it to your wanted size.
You can also go for dp instead of sp

If you define your textSize in dp that won't change your text size throughout the application.
Edit: change sp to dp

How can i remove unnecessary top padding in cardview?

I managed to implement Cardviews in my app, but the cardview show an unnecessary padding in the top.
What i want to achieve is to get a header image like this :
Here's my cardview Layout file :
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="#+id/programCardview"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/programHeader"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="160dp"
android:src="#drawable/createdprogramviewcard"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="16dp"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/programTitle"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="Programme d'endurance"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textAlignment="center"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/objectif"
android:layout_below="#+id/programTitle"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="Objectif : " />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/programObjectif"
android:layout_below="#+id/programTitle"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="6 séances"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/objectif"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/programWorkouts"
android:layout_below="#+id/programTitle"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:textAlignment="textEnd"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="6 séances" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
This is the code of the RecyclerView :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="16dp">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerViewPrograms"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
I manage to change the attribute cardUseCompatPadding but that not affect the internal form of the cardview, it's just there to separate them.
Thanks in advance.

I found a solution for my problem by changing the height of the imageView to 130dp. Apparently since i made the with of the image to match_parent, i had to find the exact height that will suit the image inside the cardview without giving it some extra padding.

The situation is due to two reasons, the first is that the height property of the CardView is in match_parent or in a larger size than the components occupy and at the same time the gravity property of the layout is in center.
To fix it just set the gravity of the LinearLayout to center | fill or just to fill.

I used these below attributes and it works for me.
card_view:cardElevation="0dp"
card_view:cardMaxElevation="0dp"
Or you can just use MaterialCardView instead of legacy CardView

Android: Custom Listview item - force on one line

I have a custom cell for my listview which has TEXT NUMBER - which works fine, however when the TEXT goes over one line, the right hand number goes over more than one line too which looks silly. Is there a property to fix this from happening?
My XML is:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtOption"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="7"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtCount"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingLeft="25dp"
android:paddingRight="15dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:text="[21]"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>

Seems like your layout_weight for views is not kicking-in. For that, I think you are missing to define android:weightSum="10" within your LinearLayout definition. Moreover, you need to set android:layout_width="0dp" to both of your TextView.
