    android:layout_weight=".2" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
     </LinearLayout>

  </LinearLayout>

Just wrap your scrollable layouts into ScrollViews like in this code:

 <ScrollView
     android:layout_width="0dp"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:layout_weight=".2">
     <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center_vertical">
     </LinearLayout>
 <ScrollView>

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="0dp"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"
     android:layout_weight=".6" android:gravity="center_vertical">
 </LinearLayout>

<ScrollView
     android:layout_width="0dp"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:layout_weight=".2">
     <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center_vertical">
     </LinearLayout>
 <ScrollView>

Here, I used layout_width attribute value for all of the elements as 0dp because of using layout_weight. And also if you would like to position elements in your layouts by center_vertcial you should use android:gravity attribute instead of android:layout_gravity. The last one tells the system how to position layouts on their ScrollViews.
