So I have a xml layout file with a relativelayout that has a few buttons (8 of them housed in a linear layout). Anchored at the top of this layout is a textview. The text in this textview is changed when you click on of the buttons which is what I set up programmatically, but when the text changes it rearranges the whole layout and thats too much for the user to have going on. I know it is because my textview is set to wrap_content but thats the best way I can account for the multiple screens.
Is there any way the layout can be set so that when the textview changes the amount of text it won't change the rest of the layout AND will still be dynamic enough to fit all the screen sizes for android users?
Here's my layout and thanks so much for any help!!!!
