my daily listview is messed up!

my daily listview code is:

daily_list_item.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#f25019"
        tools:text="100"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/circleImageView"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/iconImageView"
        />
</RelativeLayout>

I have taken a screenshot of what happens, let me know if you want it.

Where is your padding/layout elements for your relative layout? On top of that, where is your relative layout that all this is supposed to be in?

Well I thought maybe you didn't have your relative layout at all, meaning the layout would just break since it wouldn't have, y'know, a layout. But I see now that it was included. My next suggestion is to post your screenshot and explain what's happening instead of letting us figure out both the problem and the solution.
