How to avoid overlap view in relative layout in android?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and tried pretty much everything suggested here and in other similar threads.

The one additional thing that did it for me was to add:

android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/youroverlappeditem"

so the overlapping item will only run up to the overlapped item.

layout_toLeftOf was not enough on its own

and of course ellipsize="end" was needed as appropriate.

Mine was for a recyclerview with a relative layout.

Answer 2

Use layout_toStartOf in the first item with second item +id under double quotes

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/email"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/selectaccount"
        android:text="very long text which used to overlap over radio button"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/selectaccount"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

note this argument in textview

android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/selectaccount"

An XML is read from top to bottom

so this is how the Layout is rendered in Android

• android:layout_toStartOf="@id/item means that item is defined above this line
• android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/item means that item will appear later somewhere below this line

If you are using this kind of design than you should use linear Layout. and use Table Rows in it to display this kind of view.

and also use weight so that your view doesn't et overlap on other views. try like this:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
<TableRow 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:weightSum="10">
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:textSize="30sp"
        android:text="test"
        android:layout_weight="5" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@id/textView1"
        android:textSize="20sp" 
        android:text="test"
        android:layout_weight="5"/>
</TableRow>

</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

Hope it Helps!!
