android - RelativeLayout does not expand with the heights of view elements -

i have relative layout set wrap_content in height. has 2 textview , 2 edittext. however, relativelayout not match height of edittexts.

dashed rectangle region highlighted android studio preview tool borders of relativelayout.

the actual problem when run app bottom edittext kind of goes below relative layout , bottom part disappears. thereby, user can't see bottom line , don't know there textfield.

android studio preview:

problem , result on emulator:

xml file:

edit: another solution has worked:

textview must aligned baseline of edittext , not reverse way!

<relativelayout     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content">      <textview         android:id="@+id/fromdatepickertextview"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_alignparentleft="true"         android:layout_alignparentstart="true"         android:layout_alignbaseline="@+id/fromdate"         android:text="@string/fromtextview"         android:textsize="15sp" />      <edittext         android:id="@+id/fromdate"         android:layout_width="130dp"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_marginleft="28dp"         android:layout_marginstart="28dp"         android:layout_toendof="@+id/fromdatepickertextview"         android:layout_torightof="@+id/fromdatepickertextview"         android:ems="10"         android:focusableintouchmode="false"         android:inputtype="date" />      <textview         android:id="@+id/todatepickertextview"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_alignend="@+id/fromdatepickertextview"         android:layout_alignright="@+id/fromdatepickertextview"         android:layout_alignbaseline="@+id/todate"         android:layout_margintop="32dp"         android:text="@string/totextview"         android:textsize="15sp" />      <edittext         android:id="@+id/todate"         android:layout_width="130dp"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_marginleft="28dp"         android:layout_marginstart="28dp"         android:layout_margintop="10dp"         android:layout_toendof="@+id/todatepickertextview"         android:layout_torightof="@+id/todatepickertextview"         android:layout_below="@+id/fromdate"         android:ems="10"         android:focusableintouchmode="false"         android:inputtype="date" />  </relativelayout> 

you should use linear layout instead of relative layout.

check out below code have done modification , applied linear layout. can modify margin , height , width.

<linearlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:orientation="vertical"     android:paddingbottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"     android:paddingleft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"     android:paddingright="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"     android:paddingtop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">      <android.support.v4.widget.space         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="0dp"         android:layout_weight="5" />      <relativelayout         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content">          <textview             android:id="@+id/numberofdaystextview"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:layout_centerhorizontal="true"             android:text="0"             android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancelarge"             android:textsize="58sp" />          <textview             android:id="@+id/daystext"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:layout_below="@+id/numberofdaystextview"             android:layout_centerhorizontal="true"             android:layout_margintop="10dp"             android:text="day"             android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancelarge"             android:textsize="15sp" />      </relativelayout>      <android.support.v4.widget.space         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="0dp"         android:layout_weight="3" />      <linearlayout         android:orientation="vertical"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content">          <linearlayout             android:orientation="horizontal"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content">             <textview                 android:id="@+id/fromdatepickertextview"                 android:layout_width="30dp"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                  android:text="to"                 android:textsize="15sp" />              <edittext                 android:id="@+id/fromdate"                 android:layout_width="130dp"                 android:layout_height="45dp"                  android:layout_marginleft="28dp"                 android:layout_marginstart="28dp"                  android:ems="10"                 android:focusableintouchmode="false"                 android:inputtype="date" />         </linearlayout>          <linearlayout             android:orientation="horizontal"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content">             <textview                 android:id="@+id/todatepickertextview"                 android:layout_width="30dp"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                  android:layout_margintop="32dp"                 android:text="feom"                 android:textsize="15sp" />              <edittext                 android:id="@+id/todate"                 android:layout_width="130dp"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                  android:layout_marginleft="28dp"                 android:layout_marginstart="28dp"                 android:layout_margintop="22dp"                  android:ems="10"                 android:focusableintouchmode="false"                 android:inputtype="date" />         </linearlayout>     </linearlayout>        <relativelayout         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content">          <button             android:id="@+id/calculatedaysbutton"             android:layout_width="160dp"             android:layout_height="40dp"             android:layout_centerhorizontal="true"             android:layout_marginbottom="15dp"             android:layout_margintop="40dp"             android:background="@drawable/button_bg"             android:text="@string/calculatebuttontext"             android:textcolor="@android:color/white" />      </relativelayout>  </linearlayout> 

hope solves problem.
