two or more nested RelativeLayout

Question

I want to ask, working with two or more nested RelativeLayout. First code looks like picture 1, When I add android:layout_alignParentRight="true" in second RelativeLayout, this looks like picture 2. I want to align text right to second RelativeLayout. Where is my fault?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/background"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/testRL">
        <RelativeLayout
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
                android:id="@+id/testRotateLL"
                android:background="@drawable/picture_border_offer_first_page">
                <TextView
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:text="7000TL"
                        android:textSize="15sp"
                        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                        android:id="@+id/amountLayoutTV" />
        </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Picture 1:

And I add android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/background"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/testRL">
    <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:id="@+id/testRotateLL"
            android:background="@drawable/picture_border_offer_first_page">
            <TextView
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:text="7000TL"
                    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                    android:textSize="15sp"
                    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                    android:id="@+id/amountLayoutTV" />
    </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Picture 2:

try to add to `TextView` `android:layout_alignParentTop="true"` — Sherif elKhatib, Oct 12 '11 at 11:38
worst-case scenario: Add `ImageView` before `TextView` instead of `android:background="@drawable/picture_border_offer_first_page"`. They will overlay — Sherif elKhatib, Oct 12 '11 at 11:39
@second. maybe, I can do it adding an imageview, but this is not my questions answer... (I will try) — atasoyh, Oct 12 '11 at 11:46
I think the problem is in the first `RelativeLayout`. It's `layout_width` should be `fill_parent`! — Sherif elKhatib, Oct 12 '11 at 12:04
I had the same problem with a nested layout, took me several hours to find what causes it. Had to do with LinearLayouts and avoiding aligning with parent... there is a flaw somewhere in Android code I believe — Yulia Rogovaya, Dec 08 '12 at 12:07

This question is unanswered. when I updated ADT version, this problem solved. There was a bug, I think.

I suggest you to check version of ADT sometimes...

also another tip, don't always update your ADT version! because newer versions come with newer bugs! you should always test the adt on another eclipse IDE. – meh Mar 19 '13 at 15:42

In the first RelativeLayout you have:

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

You probably want:

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
