Issue with Relative/Table Layout

Question

I want the TextView to be always on the top of each EditText, on all of device's screens. First, I've tried to do something with RelativeLayout, but it's not working. Now, I'm trying with TableLayout. I would like your opinion for the best layout for this use!

Here is my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:stretchColumns="2"
     android:background="@drawable/back" >

     <TextView  android:id="@+id/mathimatika"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
          android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
          android:text="Mathimatika Kateuthinsis"
          android:textColor="#09074c"
          android:textSize="14px"
          android:gravity="center" />

     <TableRow>
         <TextView
              android:layout_column="1"
              android:text="Profwrika a"
              android:padding="13dip" 
              android:textColor="#09074c"
              android:textSize="10px"/>
        <TextView
             android:text="Profwrika b"
             android:gravity="center"
             android:textColor="#09074c"
             android:textSize="10px" />

        <TextView
             android:text="grapta"
             android:gravity="right"
             android:padding="13dip" 
             android:textColor="#09074c"
             android:textSize="10px" />
    </TableRow>
    <RelativeLayout>
          <EditText 
              android:id="@+id/input11" 
              android:layout_width="60px"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
              android:textSize="18sp"
              android:numeric="decimal|signed" 
              android:layout_below="@id/vathmos1"
              android:layout_marginLeft="13dip" />

         <EditText 
              android:id="@+id/input21" 
              android:layout_width="60px"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
              android:textSize="18sp"
              android:numeric="decimal|signed"       
              android:layout_toRightOf="@id/input11"
              android:layout_below="@id/vathmos1"
              android:layout_marginLeft="25px" />

        <EditText 
              android:id="@+id/input31" 
              android:layout_width="60px"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
              android:textSize="18sp"
              android:numeric="decimal|signed" 
              android:layout_toRightOf="@id/input21"
              android:layout_below="@id/vathmos1"
              android:layout_marginLeft="25px" />

    </RelativeLayout>
</TableLayout>

Well, you can do it with a RelativeLayout, I dont understand why you say you cant do it. But if you want to use it with a TableLayout, then you need to have two TableRow, one with the TextViews and the other with the EditText. Thus, the children of the TableLayout will be the TableRows.

However, I would recommend that you use a RelativeLayout, its cheaper because it doesnt have to calculate stuff and its only one level in the stack.

You can define your three EditText first, then the three TextViews that are above the each EditText, and if you want them to be centered, then you can align both the left and the right side to the EditTexts. I hope this helps, let me know what you think
