RelativeLayout and layout_below/above positioning.

Hello,

I am trying to experiment with Layouts in android, and tried to take a look at what this looked like : http://code.google.com/android/devel/ui/xml.html

I copied the code to my page, and tried to run it, after having removed the @drawable tags (because I didn't create any drawable object). I just get a screen with every object overlapped one on the other..

I also commented the restoreValues method, because I don't have any such method

What am I missing ?

Thanks,
Manojo

This is for m3 version, you are possibly using m5 release of the SDK.
Use the following code:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 
<!-- Demonstrates using a relative layout to create a form -->
 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
 
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 
                android:background="@drawable/blue"
 
                android:padding="10px">
 
    <TextView android:id="@+id/label" 
 
              android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
 
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
 
              android:text="Type here:"/>
 
    <EditText android:id="@+id/entry" 
 
              android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
 
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
 
              android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"
 
              android:layout_below="@id/label"/>
 
    <Button android:id="@+id/ok" 
 
            android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
 
            android:layout_below="@id/entry"
 
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
 
            android:layout_marginLeft="10px"
 
            android:text="OK" />
 
    <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 
            android:layout_toLeft="@id/ok"
 
            android:layout_alignTop="@id/ok"
 
            android:text="Cancel" />
 
</RelativeLayout>
Parsed in 0.033 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

since m5 the ID tag is changed to ANDROID:ID
