Why do my EditTexts not display at all?

Question

With this xml:

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:padding="5dp">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="25"
            android:text="@string/id"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/editTextID"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:background="@drawable/greyframe"
                android:layout_weight="25"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="25"
            android:text="@string/pack_size"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/editTextPackSize"
                android:background="@drawable/greyframe"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="25" />
    </LinearLayout>

...the EditTexts do not even display. Why? This is a followup to my question here, which has grown so long that I can no longer add to it.

UPDATE

    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

UPDATE 2

This is how that layout looks at design-time in Droidio:

It's not Yosemite, but neither is it Tonopah, Nevada.

UPDATE 3

Based on what I read here, I changed the "dp"s to "dip"s.

Answer 1

I believe the layout width of your LinearLayout container must be definite for weight to recalculate width of child containers. Try changing its width from "wrap_content" to "fill_parent".

Answer 2

Here I demonstrate you that no, it isn't so.
Just that I used 1 for weights instead of 25, for shortness (1 char saved for 4 Views = 4 chars saved).
Multiply it for 10 rows, 40 chars saved, which is 80 bytes in UTF-8.
Small optimizations...

Try this, B. Clay:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="5dp"
    >
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="@string/id"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
    />
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editTextID"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="@string/pack_size"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
    />
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editTextPackSize"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
    />
</LinearLayout>

I got this result:

I just removed the android:background="@drawable/greyframe", since I haven't got that resource.
Note that the trial has been done on an emulated 2.8" ldpi (240*320) screen.

Answer 3

The width of your views is set to 0dp. Try changing those to "match_parent".
