Alert in activity_main.xml page in android

Question

I have an alert dialog in activity_main.xml page.

I have tried quite a few combinations and am unable to resolve the alert.

This is beginning to make me believe my structure as a whole is not correct.

This seems like there should be an easy fix.

What am I missing ?

Alert:

Consider adding android:layout_alignStart="@+id/button1" to 
better support right-to-left layouts

In this line of my xml page :

android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/button1"

My xml code below.

Thanks in advance.

    </RelativeLayout>

</ScrollView>

Answer 1

The problem is layout_alignStart is supported from Android 4.2 (API level 17). The alert is just a warning, layout_alignLeft works just fine but if it bothers you then you can add it to your code but keep layout_alignLeft for compatibility.

You can read about it here .

Dialogs come on top of the UI. See documentation here : http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html
