TextView inside LinearLayout stretches the LinearLayout and fill_parent fix causes weight flip?

Try adding a child view to the bottom layout.

Combined child view weights should add up to 1..... Eg. .3, .3, .4 = 1, or 100%.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
