I want to have some layout a bit like this

[text tabel][edittext]

i cant find an attribute like html esque label. It seems to be the case that i need to use 

[TextView][EditText]

but i cant get them to go on the same line this is my xml file.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">"
<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/boat_1"/>
<EditText
    android:id="@+id/entry"
    android:hint="@string/IRC"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"/>
<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/boat_2"/>
<EditText
    android:id="@+id/entry"
    android:hint="@string/IRC"
    android:minWidth="100dip"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/close"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:text="@string/title_close" />

TextInputLayout is the answer. Just use the correct version from the android material library: https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/material/textfield/TextInputLayout

The android:hint param will display the label in the text area, and when you click on it label will be moved above the text field.

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="@string/points">

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/points_gs_input"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
