Android ScrollView and buttons at bottom of the screen
Just created and tested it. Looks like you want.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/buttons"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Custom Button1"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Custom Button2"/>
</LinearLayout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="@id/buttons">
<!--Scrollable content here-->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="test text"
android:textSize="40dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
scrollview cannot fit the screen because you put it on a linear layout, so linear layout fit in the screen,
just try to make scrollview as root elemen on xml layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<!-- Here you can put some XML stuff and BOOM! your screen fit to scrollview -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hallo Welt"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Go next page"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
This worked for me. Give the scroll view a weight of 1. Put all the other widgets following the scroll view in a layout. The scroll view will grow enough to not block the rest.
