title: Invisible text in EditText on MapActivity
body: <p>I have a problem with an android application I am developing. </p>
  
  <p>I have an <code>Activity</code> with an <code>EditText</code> at the top of the screen, and a map taking over the rest of the space. The problem is that the <code>EditText</code> don't show any of the text I put in it. You can focus the <code>EditText</code> and type more text or even select the text that the app put in the <code>EditText</code> and copy it. When you paste it in another application, you can see that it is the text that suppose to be in the <code>EditText</code>. So I know that the text is there, but I really don't understand why the text isn't shown. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried changing the background color of the <code>EditText</code> (which worked, but text still is invisible) and changing the text color (which changed nothing). Here is my XML file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:focusable="true"
      android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
      android:orientation="vertical" &gt;
  
  &lt;EditText
      android:id="@+id/status"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="@string/findingSatellites"
      android:inputType="text"
      android:ems="10" /&gt;
  
      &lt;com.google.android.maps.MapView
          android:id="@+id/bigMap"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:apiKey="someapikey"
          android:clickable="true" &gt;
      &lt;/com.google.android.maps.MapView&gt;
  
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The map is shown correctly. Can you help me? </p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong><br>
  I have tried to comment out the map from the XML file (and code) and now the text inside the <code>EditText</code> is rendered. I also tried to comment out my MapOverlay, but the text is still now shown. I tried replacing the <code>EditText</code> with a <code>TextView</code> with the same result. How come no text is rendered when there is a map in the <code>Activity</code>?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE2:</strong><br>
  I have modified my xml according to your suggestions. This is what I have now:</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="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:focusable="true"
      android:focusableInTouchMode="true" &gt;
  
      &lt;RelativeLayout 
          android:id="@+id/statusLayout"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
          android:layout_alignParentTop="true" &gt;
  
          &lt;EditText
              android:id="@+id/status"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:ems="10"
              android:inputType="text"
              android:text="@string/findingSatellites" /&gt;
      &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;
  
      &lt;RelativeLayout
          android:id="@+id/mapLayout"
          android:layout_below="@id/statusLayout"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" &gt;
  
          &lt;com.google.android.maps.MapView
              android:id="@+id/bigMap"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:apiKey="0ZGxti1I-qNSsMmsOCqnbPsnNG7Sl4U2aHvDc-Q"
              android:clickable="true" /&gt;
  
      &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;
  
  &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It still doesn't render any text.</p>
  
  <p>Here is a picture of what is happening:</p>
