<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:orientation="vertical"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent"     >     <TextView         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="@string/hello"         />     <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:singleLine="true"         android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:id="@+id/editText1">             <requestFocus></requestFocus>         </EditText> </LinearLayout>
