Hey man, What you are doing wrong is: you declare that the id of image view is imageView1

android:id="@+id/imageView1"

and then, you say in the android:layout_below (wich show to the app below what you want to put the View) that you want it below the want it below the own. So you just need to change it to another thing, or just delete it.

Hope I helped you!

Hi there,

If you change this line:

android:layout_below="@+id/imageView1"!

to this:

android:layout_below="@id/captionField"

then you'll be done. This makes the ImageView line up underneath the EditText which is called captionField.

I hope that makes sense.

Steve.
