hi

what i'm trying to achieve is #1 but what i get is #2

it seems linear layout stacks with height of it's first element and shrinks second's element height to that.

the xml for those is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_weight="5" /> android:text="Aaa aaaaa aaa aaaaa, aaaaaaa aaa aaa a, aaa aa aaaaaaa aaa aa. Aaa aaaaa aaa aaaaa, aaaaaaa aaa aaa a, aaa aa aaaaaaa aaa aa. Aaa aaaaa aaa aaaaa, aaaaaaa aaa aaa a, aaa aa aaaaaaa aaa aa. Aaa aaaaa aaa aaaaa, aaaaaaa aaa aaa a, aaa aa aaaaaaa aaa aa. Aaa aaaaa aaa aaaaa, aaaaaaa aaa aaa a, aaa aa aaaaaaa aaa aa. Aaa aaaaa aaa aaaaa, aaaaaaa aaa aaa a, aaa aa aaaaaaa aaa aa." />
