    <p>I'm new to Android and I'm trying to place a textview in a specific area of the screen using Android. Currently, the textview covers the whole screen. I need it to be restricted to a particular central section. See the screenshot below (I need the textview's frame to be the white square):</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/1KFU4.png" alt="The TextViewFrame I Require"></p> <p>Here is the code I am currently using:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:baselineAligned="false" android:background="@drawable/help" android:gravity="left" android:layout_weight="1"&gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbars = "vertical" android:layout_weight="0.60" android:textSize="14sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:id="@+id/text"/&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've tried a few things I can't get it to work, can anyone point out where I'm going wrong?</p> <p>It seems I should be using LinearLayout in order to set my views to a certain percentage of the screen, but I'm not sure if this is the correct approach?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: Though the answer I've marked as correct is essentially the right thing to do, if you are going to create specific layouts such as this you will need to create different layout files for each different screen size (generally small, medium, large and x-large). These will be placed in the res folder in your project.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
