I'm working on an Android application, and admittedly I'm a bit of a newbie. I'm working on a very simple input of some information, and found something very odd. Whenever I run the application in a virtual device, Android Studio flips the position of the input labels (TextView objects), and the inputs themselves (PlainText objects).
It's best to see what I mean here:
In the GIF above, I'm clicking the Play button on the emulator; after that, the positions flip. Strange right? Is there something I have defined in the XML layout that's causing this? Or something I'm doing wrong?
For example, here's the raw XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".ui.currentjob.CurrentJobFragment">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/someTitle"
android:textStyle="bold|italic"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Some Title"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<!-- Input 1 -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/input1"
android:layout_width="146dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/labelInput1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:text="Input 1"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<!-- Input 2 -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/input2"
android:layout_width="154dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/labelInput2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:text="Input 2"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

I figured it out about 1 minute after posting this. The problem was that
Rearrange codewas checked under theActions on Savesetting. See the image below:
