How to use "full" of wrap_content, created by other views

Question

Currently im working on a fine ui. Now i came to this:

Im stucking on the "profile_layout" on the left side with the muffin inside. For the two bars on the right side im using wrap_content.

But now im stucking to let the profile_layout use the full height of the "wrap_content" from the two bars.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Here's my code:

<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/top_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        <android.support.v7.widget.CardView

            >

Change your cardview enclosing the muffin- layout_height to match_parent. Comment if that doesnt fix it

EDIT: Ok so after some more thinking i figured out that Relative Layout is causing the problem here. Here you can completely delete the relative layout or replace it with a linear layout. At the end to fix your problem the cardview must have height as match_parent and its immediate parent(enclosing tag) must be anything but a Relative Layout with height as wrap_content

did you edit the correct cardview? the one with the muffin imageview in it? – Shreyans Mar 19 '16 at 00:28
Yes, the cardview stretches to the whole screen. – Mar 19 '16 at 00:30

just deleted the relativelayout now and set the cardview height to match_parent, and it works, thank you very much! :D – Mar 19 '16 at 00:57
check this question- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18303410/match-parent-property-for-children-in-a-relativelayout it has another solution in case you absolutely have to have relative layout as the parent – Shreyans Mar 19 '16 at 00:59

You must use LinearLayouts like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:background="@drawable/card_background_selector"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <!-- You may give a definite value too -->

    <ImageView
        android:padding="@dimen/icon_padding_large"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:layout_weight="3"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/appIcon" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:padding="@dimen/icon_padding_large"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_weight="7"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <TextView
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="New Text"
            android:id="@+id/appName" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
            android:text="Small Text"
            android:id="@+id/appDeveloper" />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Replace the LinearLayout with a RelativeLayout, and align the top & bottom of the first child to the second. And of course, set the second child toRightOf the fist one. Then, android:layout_centerVertical="true" the CardView of the first child.

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/top_bar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="8dp">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@null">

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@null"

            android:id="@+id/column_1"
            android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/column_2"
            android:layout_alignTop="@+id/column_2"
            >

            <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
                android:id="@+id/profile_layout"
                android:layout_width="100dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_margin="4dp"
                card_view:cardBackgroundColor="#ffffff"
                card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
                card_view:cardElevation="2dp"
