textview not showing up in linearLayout

Question

Why is that that the textview with the id of textView1 and textView2 are not showing up but everything else is showing.

I tried adding the

android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/bus_data"
android:layout_below="@+id/bus_data"

but still it is not showing up. I dont know what is wrong with the xml

Here is the xml code:

<RelativeLayout 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:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

Both TextView seem to reference bus_data as the id of the View they need to align below and to the left to.

However they reference it by adding a new id (+id).

They should probably only reference the existing id without attempting to create a new one.

See also: this SO thread for more info on the android:id attribute.

These TextView are in a Linearlayout. You only have below and left in RelartiveLayout. Please give your parent linearLayout the below an and Left parameters

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:id="@+id/search_result_data_box"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/bus_data"
    android:layout_below="@+id/bus_data"
    android:background="@drawable/search_item_selector_stlye">

I see that bus_data is in LinearLayout too, so what you are planing to do does not work. Try other Methods or post a picture what kind of layout you want to achieve
