Layout File - Positioning Item to Right of Another Item (Android)

Question

I'm trying to position one item in a RelativeLayout to the right of another. In the example below I want the "," to be placed to the right of the description field. However the problem is it puts the comma on the first line next to the name field. Can anyone help?

<RelativeLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="10sp">
    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/description"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@id/name" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/descriptioncomma"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text=", "
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/description" />

Answer 1

Try this code, it should work: Button used layout_toRightOf attribute with id of Textview widget.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="10sp">
    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/name" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/description" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@id/name" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/descriptioncomma" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text=","
        android:layout_below="@id/name"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/description" />
</RelativeLayout>

In Both TextView you add text and than check it.

OK

Here it will help full : Button used layout_toRightOf attribute with id of Textview widget.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:padding="5dp">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:text="TextView"
            android:textSize="18sp"
            android:padding="10dp"/>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@id/textView"
            android:text="Button" />
    </RelativeLayout>
