I was following this video but my layout ended up differently.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:id="@+id/itemImage"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:layout_margin="12dp"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:text="New Text"
android:id="@+id/itemText"/>
</LinearLayout>
which is as the video has it, but my layout puts the image nearly in the center of the screen I'll try to grab a screenshot
