copied!<p>I agree with sokie on the use of <code>wrap_content</code>. I tend to use <code>LinearLayout</code> a lot since it provides a consistent layout on various display sizes. One way of implementation is as follows. By replacing your inner <code>RelativeLayout</code> to <code>LinearLayout</code>, your text view containing the name will always be displayed and the message text view will display the maximum possibles lines (or can be limited by specifying the <code>maxLines</code>) with the available remaining/space. If you would like to display the whole status message, then you can achieve this by changing the parent <code>LinearLayout</code> height parameter to <code>wrap_content</code>.</p> <pre><code><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="56dp" android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/icon" android:layout_width="22dp" android:layout_height="50dp" android:layout_marginLeft="4dp" android:layout_marginRight="15dp" > </ImageView> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"> <TextView android:id="@+id/uNameTxt" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/customMsg" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:maxLines="4" android:textStyle="italic" /> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> </code></pre>
