TextView in list is disabled

Question

I have a custom ListView with an image and 2 TextViews on top of each other next to the image view. The lower text element contains a description of the name, but it is truncated by the list.

this is what i have in my "row.xml":

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:gravity="left|center" android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/icon" android:layout_height="50px" android:layout_width="50px" android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" android:scaleType="fitXY" android:layout_gravity="center"></ImageView> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_marginLeft="5dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" android:layout_weight="1"> <TextView android:id="@+id/TextView01" android:text="hi" android:textColor="#336600" android:textSize="16dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="fill_parent"></TextView> <TextView android:text="hi" android:id="@+id/TextView02" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" android:textSize="14dip" android:gravity="top" android:lines="20" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:singleLine="false"></TextView> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> 

How can I get the rest of the text?

Try changing the two android:layout_height="fill_parent" values android:layout_height="fill_parent" to LinearLayouts to android:layout_height="wrap_content" . fill_parent not a big deal in this situation.
