Question

I am having some battles with a scrollview and a framelayout. Despite trying numerous things no matter what I do the scrollview seems to fill the parent and stick some of my content behind the framelayout.
What I want is the framelayout across the bottom and the scrollview to fill the top section. Can anyone point out the silly mistake I am making here?
I tried what was suggested here Layout issue on Android with FrameLayout and ScrollView but that didn’t do it.

Do this:

change the root RelativeLayout to LinearLayout.

set the ScrollView android:layout_height=”0dp”

add to ScrollView android:layout_weight=”1″ <– this will make your scrollview fill the remaining space and will push the framelayout at the bottom.
