title: EditText field is too large or overwritten
body: <p>How can I format a header, a list, and an EditText so that the EditText is a fixed single line and always visible?
  Here is my layout with only one list entry - EditText fills the rest of the screen which looks bad.

  <p>Here is the layout with several list entries - the soft keyboard hides the text being typed. I was typing in Wayne.

  <p>I have tried a various Linear and Relative layouts.  Here is my current Layout:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:orientation="vertical" &gt;
  
  &lt;TextView
      android:id="@+id/select_child_header"
      style="@style/headerStyle"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
      android:background="@color/start_blue"
      android:text="Which child did you take a picture of?" /&gt;
  
  &lt;fragment
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/modchild_fragment"
      android:name="com.chex.control.ChildList"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_below="@id/select_child_header"
      android:focusable="true"
      android:focusableInTouchMode="true" &gt;
  &lt;/fragment&gt;
  
  &lt;EditText
      android:id="@+id/new_child"
      style="@style/editTextStyle"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
         android:layout_below="@id/modchild_fragment" 
      android:hint="new child name"
      android:inputType="text"
      android:singleLine="true" /&gt;
  
  &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I appreciate any advice on how to format this screen.</p>
