Thanks, i just copied and pasted it in a new layout and it somehow worked. It was a rendering problem that maybe occured because i by mistake changed a configuration. Thank you for your time :)

Hi Enrique,

If you download the project files, you can take the file you need from there. The download link is here.

Thank you Steve, i first tried by copying and pasting it in a new layout and it somehow worked. But if that failed, i was about to use the link you gave me. Thank you for your time :)

Create a new Layout same as the one that was in activity_main (usually its RelativeLayout or LinearLayout) then open the xml and copy all paste it in the activity_main.

Thanks Mazen, i tried that and it actually worked! I just had to reference everything again to the new layout. I was starting to become desperate because i couldn't see my progress reflected. Thanks for your time and the help.
