what is happening to me is pretty tricky...I have this xml file as a layout for the adapter of a list view object:\[code\]<?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:background="@color/exBackGround" androidrientation="vertical" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@color/exBackGround" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/imgIcon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@color/exBackGround" android:src="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12552839/@drawable/ic_launcher" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/lblFolderName" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@color/exBackGround" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:text="Medium Text" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" android:textColor="@color/exForeGround" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/lblNumber" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@color/exBackGround" android:gravity="center_vertical" androidaddingRight="5dp" android:text="100" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" android:textColor="@color/exForeGround" /> </LinearLayout> <FrameLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="1dp" android:background="@color/exGradEnd" > </FrameLayout></LinearLayout>\[/code\]I can't understand why, this layout results in what it is expecetd to do, plus a black line at the top that I can't understand where it cames from. Unfortunately, as a new user, I can0t post the image, sorry.
