RelativeLayout in Android

Question

I have this XMl in my main...

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingTop="4px" >

    <include
        android:id="@+id/search"
        layout="@layout/search" />



    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/wordList"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/search"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" >

    </ListView>

</RelativeLayout>

Use

android:layout_below="@id/search"

The + is not needed there.

In fact, not only is it not needed, but it is required to be absent. – jmgrosen Jun 02 '12 at 20:43

Another assumption: The included layout may have height="match_parent" so that the ListView doesnt have any space left...
