Can't display data in TextView (ListView)?

Question

Android

We have a ListView, and we also have this layout for the ListView elements (row.xml):

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   
2. <LinearLayout xmlns:android=" schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   
3.           android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
   
4.           android:layout_width="match_parent"
   
5.           android:layout_gravity="top">
   
6. <ImageView android:id="@+id/itemicon" 
   
7.            android:src="@drawable/icon"
   
8.        android:layout_marginLeft="4dp" 
   
9.        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
   
10.        android:layout_height="30dp" 
    
11.        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    
12.        android:layout_width="30dp">
    
13. </ImageView>
    
14. <TextView  
    
15.           android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    
16.           android:id="@+id/label"
    
17.       android:textSize="25dp" 
    
18.       android:layout_marginTop="6dp" 
    
19.       android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    
20.       android:textColor="#000000">
    
21. </TextView>
    
22. <TextView   
    
23.           android:id="@+id/labeldesc"
    
24.       android:textSize="14dp" 
    
25.       android:layout_marginTop="2dp" 
    
26.       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    
27.       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    
28.       android:textColor="#000000">
    
29. </TextView>
    
30. </LinearLayout>
    

Using the SimpleCursorAdapter, we insert data into this Layout. By trial and error, it was possible to establish that the data in " id / label" is displayed perfectly, but when trying to display data in " id / labelesc" absolutely nothing is displayed. I understand in advance that the rake is somewhere very close, however, I personally have not yet been able to find the reason. At first I thought that the reason was somewhere in the code, but after rearranging the values, I see that the reason is in Layout or somewhere close, because any data set is normally displayed in id / label, while it does not want to be displayed in the second TextView at all.
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the (maybe) stupid questions...

Answer 1

The TextView (label) takes up the remaining width of the LinearLayout after the ImageView, so the second TextView (labeldesc) just doesn't fit.
If you change the label's layout_width to wrap_content, then the text in the labeldesc will be visible (unless the text in the label takes up the full width).

Answer 2

If you want @+id/label to occupy the entire free area before @+id/labeldesc then add to the label android:layout_weight="0.9"
