title: Putting a background on the linear layout and takes almost 3/4 of the screen
body: <p>I have tried all kinds of help from other posts (setting widths to 0dp etc.) but nothing seems to work.</p>
  
  <p>I have 2 layouts and the first one still seems to dominate. If I put background colors on the textviews, they are behaving themselves and end correctly. However put a background on the linear layout and it is almost 3/4 of the screen!?</p>
