   </RelativeLayout>

please refer my layout file and give me solution for this.

Answer 1

Your layout did not include any code that would display the down arrow followed by the string "Order Info" or the down arrow followed by the string "Customer Info". I assume that is intentional.

It seems that you started this with a linear layout and changed it to a relative layout. Here is what I would do: 1 - Remove android:orientation="vertical" from relative layout. 2 - Add id to both the linear layouts 3 - Add code to place second linear layout below first to second linear layout. android:layout_below="@id/linear_layout1"

Here is the complete layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/linear_layout1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/payment_method1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingLeft="5dp"
        android:text="payment_method"
        android:textSize="15dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/payment_method"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingLeft="75dp"
        android:text="payment_method"
        android:textColor="#10bcc9"
        android:textSize="15dip"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/subtotal1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
