title: Relative Layout(with 2 textviews inside of it) inside a Linear Layout works - but i dont know why
body: <p>I have been struggling to get this to work all day and finally got it to work by setting some margins(see code) but i do not know why it works</p>
  
  <pre><code>    //should this be a try/catch?
      Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Kefa.ttc");
  
      LinearLayout sampleLinearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
      LinearLayout.LayoutParams layout = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,  LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
      sampleLinearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
      sampleLinearLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
      sampleLinearLayout.setLayoutParams(layout);
  
      TextView menuItemTitle = new TextView(this);
      menuItemTitle.setId(2);
      menuItemTitle.setText("All You Can Eat\t\t   $13.99");
      menuItemTitle.setTextSize(35);
      menuItemTitle.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
      menuItemTitle.setTypeface(tf);
      menuItemTitle.setTextColor(Color.argb(255, 77, 30, 16));
  
      RelativeLayout.LayoutParams menuItemTitleParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
      menuItemTitleParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
  
      //****why does setting the TOP margin work??****
      menuItemTitleParams.setMargins(0, 50, 0, 0);
      menuItemTitle.setLayoutParams(menuItemTitleParams);
  
      TextView menuItemDesc = new TextView(this);
      menuItemDesc.setText("All you can ribs, chicken, pork and sides you can stomach to eat\n\tAlso includes dessert!");
      menuItemDesc.setTextSize(15);
      menuItemDesc.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
      menuItemDesc.setTextColor(Color.argb(255, 77, 30, 16));
      menuItemDesc.setLayoutParams(menuItemTitleParams);
  
      RelativeLayout.LayoutParams menuItemDescParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
      menuItemDescParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
  
      //If i comment out the line of code below, the margin above still places the text
      //below the title.
      menuItemDescParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, menuItemTitle.getId());
  
      //##menuItemTitle.setLayoutParams(menuItemDescParams);
      menuItemDesc.setLayoutParams(menuItemDescParams);
  
  
      RelativeLayout relativeLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
      relativeLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
      RelativeLayout.LayoutParams subMenuLayoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,  LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
      subMenuLayoutParams.setMargins(400, 0, 400, 0);
      relativeLayout.setLayoutParams(subMenuLayoutParams);
  
      relativeLayout.addView(menuItemTitle);
      relativeLayout.addView(menuItemDesc);
  
      sampleLinearLayout.addView(relativeLayout);
  
      setContentView(sampleLinearLayout);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If i don't set the margins for the TOP of the menuItemTitle TextView the menuItemDesc Textview text lays right on top of the menuTitle text on the screen. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Why isnt my menuItemDescParams rule for BELOW not sufficent here?</li>
  <li>If we didn't care about #1(which i do), why is expanding the TOP of the menuItemTitle margin move the menuItemDesc below the menuItemTitle textview?? If i comment out the line of code for BELOW, setting the margin still takes effect. Come to think of it i guess #1 is pretty important</li>
