I want to center the two textViews vertically,
but I want them to be aligned to one line at their bottom.
Now they are alined to the same bottom,
but they are at the bottom of their parent layout.
How can I do this?
I have thought to wrap their current layout parent ("parent1") with another layout
("parent2")
and make "parent1" be in the center of "parent2".
Is there another way without adding elements?
If your problem is that both views are aligned at the bottom of their parent you can use this.
Both views are still aligned to the same bottom and centered on the screen.
Your layout looks like a part of a bigger XML (weight=0.17), that is why I have used fill_parent on layout_width.

I am building an app for android that dynamically updates a table layout with table rows. The way I do this, is by having a fixed table row layout that I populate with content and then insert it to the table layout and it displays like seen below.
The problem I'm having is that when I add a row that contains content that is longer in the middle part and creates multiple lines on one of the text views, it somehow shortens the width of the layout that contains the two text views of the other rows (middle part), specifically those that have single lines, for example the first and second row in the image below.
You can find the code below. If you need any more code or examples, please tell me.

I really can't figure out how to solve this or what may be causing it... Please help!
Thank you in advance! :)
Note: The pink/red rectangles is the "Show layout bonds" tool from the developer options in android.
EDIT: I replaced the TableLayout with a Vertical LinearLayout and it works just fine. I guess I was overcomplicating it... :P
When the keypad appears when the user clicks on an EditText, parts of the layout is covered by the keypad. So I tried using ScrollView so the user can scroll down and see the rest of the layout. But its not scrolling. I can't seem to get my scroll view working. The I have searched on stackoverflow for the solution for 3 hours and couldn't find it.

I have also tried adding "adjustResize" to the manifest file but it didn't do anything.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
Your ScrollView layout height should be wrap_content. Right now it's match_parent which means be as tall as my parent, not; be as tall as the content within me.
Hello stackoverflow members. i am trying to achieve this:http://imgur.com/dqwOAOf
But for some reason the two texts cant take these positions like this http://imgur.com/lyYg8Ei
Could anyone explain what i am doing wrong?
and please forgive my artistic talents.
i have added the whole xml file.
The idea is that the two textviews timer and typegekookt are displayed in the center of backgroundtypegekookt evenly spaced out.

Instead of using the ImageView android:id="#+id/backgroundtypegekookt", use a RelativeLayout (or a LinearLayout) with that background (android:background="#drawable/timerwijzer"), and put your TextViews in it
This is what I mean:

I also fixed the deprecated fill_parent to match_parent and #+id (anticipated reference) to #id (reference), where needed.
Also see my comments in the layout avout the 2 last views.
How do i align the arrows to be right above/below the numbers? Does each arrow need to have it's own linear layout? Is there a way to set this without setting a static amount of padding? I would like this to be generic enough to be used and show up properly on different devices...
I'm relatively new to android development - especially the UI portion of it... so any help would be appreciated!

You can nest another LinearLayout (with orientation:vertical) inside your LinearLayout (with orientation:horizontal).

</LinearLayout>
Note that nesting too many layouts inside a layout is discouraged. Reference:
http://developer.android.com/training/improving-layouts/optimizing-layout.html
But having 2 layout hierarchy is totally fine.
You need to nest two vertical LinearLayouts inside of your horizontal LinearLayout. Here's one where I do the same thing but I have empty Views on each side and one in the middle. You can take those out if you don't want them and obviously change your ids, backgrounds, and such
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/mpImage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="10dp">

android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight=".5"/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/mpLL"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="4"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/mpUpBtn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
style="#style/UpArrow"
android:onClick="cycleUp"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/mpTV"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="breakfast"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textSize="40sp"
android:textColor="#drawable/black"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/mpDownBtn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:onClick="cycleDown"
style="#style/DownArrow"/>
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight=".5"/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/catLL"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="4"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageButton

style="#style/UpArrow"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:onClick="cycleUp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/catTV"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Beef"
android:gravity="center"

You will notice I have also used weight and a 0dp for the width of the nested LinearLayouts and for the View to give them the separation I wanted and to look right on different screen sizes. You can change those depending on your needs.
You can have nested layouts. Be careful not to have too many, however two should be fine. Here is an example of what I think you are looking for. The arrows and text should be aligned thanks to RelativeLayout.

I'm attempting to split the UI for my horizontal layout into two halves each with it's own realative layout so I am able to center text and graphics within the two left and right halves of the screen. The problem is when I attmept to do so - the go button still ends up in the middle of the screen instead of centered on the right hand of the screen.
(If I can figure out how to center correctly I'm sure I'll be able to apply the same technique to the other elements to achieve the result I desire.

Instead of Relative layout, I would recommend using LinearLayout.
<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:orientation="horizontal"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#00dd00"
android:gravity="center"
>
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#dd0000"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
>
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
In the inner LinearLayout you can either use android:gravity="center" to have its children centered vertically and horizontally. Or use use android:gravity="center_horizontal" to center in only horizontal way.
EDIT: Added the textview, which was discussed in the comments.
To have the textView appear underneath the button, you must change the orientation of the LinearLayout from horizontal to vertical. Please see the developer site .
The inner LinearLayout thus looks like this.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#dd0000"
android:gravity="center"
>
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="text here"
/>
</LinearLayout>
How can I use android:layout_below="#+id/go_button" in a linear layout?
You can't. These relationships only work in relative layout where you place views in relation to each other or the parent view. In linear layout items are stacked either vertically or horizontally.
Set android:gravity="center" in
<Button
android:id="#+id/go_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/apn_app_go_button" />
Maybe its work.
