No label views point to this text field with an android:labelFor="@+id/@+id/" attribute

Question

I have an EditText in my xml and I get this warning

No label views point to this text field with an android:labelFor="@+id/@+id/et_password" attribute

I have searched in SO and I found these posts but unfortunately I don't find any answer that explains the reason of getting this warning.

1- Meaning of "No label views point to this text field" warning message

2- EditText warning in android app development

Here is my xml code:

<LinearLayout
       android:id="@+id/ll_password"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

       <TextView
           android:id="@+id/tv_password"
           android:layout_width="0dp"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:layout_weight="0.3"
           android:text="@string/tv_password" />

       <EditText
           android:id="@+id/et_password"
           android:layout_width="0dp"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:layout_weight="0.7"
           android:background="@color/background"
           android:gravity="start|center_vertical"
           android:inputType="textPassword"
           android:singleLine="true" />
</LinearLayout>

I don't know why I'm getting this warning. What I have done so far:

1- I tried changing my EditText id

2- Removing TextView in my layout

But warning still remain. I just wondered because I have the same LinearLayout for my username without any warning.

Am I doing wrong? And what's the reason I'm getting this warning?

Answer 1

Three chance in my point of view

1) It might be you have done something wrong with the id of the components.Use id like follows.

android:id="@+id/editText1"

2 ) You should not have plus sign in the labelFor id. It should be: android:labelFor="@id/editText1" The plus sign is only used once to generate the id.

3) This error will show in the XML if you simply drag a Multiline Text into a layout.
