Screen Design Problem

[Hardik Trivedi]

Hi,

I am designing a layout in android.Where I need one frame and button.The problem I can not make out this.
I tried LinearLayout-->FrameLayout-->Button

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<FrameLayout
		android:id="@+id/frame"
		android:layout_width="320dip"
		android:layout_height="375dip"
		android:background="#FF4682B4"
>
</FrameLayout>
<Button
		android:id="@+id/b1"
		android:text="Clear"
		android:layout_width="wrap_content"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
</Button>
</LinearLayout>

Exception is coming.

You need to provide layout_width and layout_height on the LinearLayout too...

[Ankit Garg]

Also to be able to view the button, you'll have to set the orientation of your linear layout to vertical...

Not sure why you need two container Layouts(LinearLayout and FrameLayout). You are unnecessarily adding extra level in the view hierarchy.
