I wanted to create a layout like the CyanogenMod call log in that there is a list item and a call button on the left which gets focus separately (screenshot). Instead, I get this mess.

Here's my code:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:paddingLeft="4dip"
    >

    <DontPressWithParentImageView android:id="@+id/play_icon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:paddingLeft="14dip"
        android:paddingRight="14dip"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:src="@drawable/sym_play"
        android:background="@drawable/play_background"
        />

    <View android:id="@+id/divider"
        android:layout_width="1px"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5dip"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/play_icon"
        android:layout_marginLeft="2dip"
        android:background="@drawable/divider_vertical_dark"
        />

    <TextView android:id="@+id/file_info"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="-10dip"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
        android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        />

    <TextView android:id="@+id/file_title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_above="@id/file_info"
        android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="-10dip"
        android:layout_marginLeft="4dip"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        />
</RelativeLayout>

For reference, the code I started with is here and here, and the source to DontPressWithParentImageView is here (but as you can see from my screenshot, that part is working).

What am I doing wrong?
