ImageButtons not appear on the layout

Question

I have 2 layouts: activity_main and activity_car_service ; I created some mipmaps from where I got my images buttons source

When running the app the activity_main contains all my buttons but when pressing an imageButton to open the activity_car_service can not see any of them...

activity_car_service is declared in manifest, still not see any imageButton

Here is activity_car_service

        </LinearLayout>

    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Here is how I call it:

public class CarServiceSubMenu extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_car_service);
    }
}

Manifest:

<activity android:name="utils.CarServiceSubMenu">
    android:label = "lala"/>
</activity>

MainActivity:

public void openCarServiceSubMenu(View view)
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CarServiceSubMenu.class);
    startActivity(intent);
}

activity_main which is working:

What can be the problem ? I spent so much time to try out different things ...

Please help!

Answer 1

Your ImageButtons have width=match_parent while its parent have width=wrap_content.

Their size is 0.

Change the first LLayout with to match_parent too so you can see then.

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"

Also,your layout will cover the button, try to use below=button (since you are using RelativeLayout as parent and height=wrap_content

The RelativeLayout can be used for adding constraint like below/onTopof/toRightof other views in the layout, you are overlaping your layout with other views and cant see a thing.

实际上问题是我使用了app：srcCompat，但是我的活动不是AppCompatActivity...。
