1,650 PointsGraphical Layout Element Alignment
Yes I am a really big NOOB,
I started a blank layout and drag-n-droped my textField passwordField and a Button into the layout. However the layout would only let me drop these elements into the top left corner and won't allow me to align them anywhere else. I don't know XML enough to even search google for the answer. Is there a fix action I can implement on my graphical editor or do I need to resolve this in the XML? If that's a case please point me to a resource cheat sheet.

1,650 PointsWell I figured this out I think but it may have created another issue.
So I'm working on the "Self Destruct Messaging App" and created a LoginActivity and two "xml" files were created. 1) activity_login.xml and 2) fragment_login.xml. I found that I could edit in the graphical editor with the fragment but not in the activity as Ben was demonstrating. grrrrrrr!
So after I did everything Ben demonstrated but doing so instead in the fragment_login.xml everything worked.
Well that is until I wrote the "OnClickLIstener" code for the "signupText".... Arg my brain is melting.
