No matter what I place in TextView layout_width it occurs the same way.
<Text view android:id"@+id/dob" android:width="0dp" android:height="30dp" android:textColour="#000000" android:text="Enter D.O.B DD/MM/YYYY" />
If more code is needed then I'll be more than happy to provide it.
I'm mixing practical and theory as I'm only learning java.
Thanks in advance.
