Question

I am trying to create an app that has a scroll view filled with buttons and an image view on the bottom. The only problem is that I can’t get the image view to stay directly on the bottom. I tried setting layout_gravity and gravity to the bottom but the image is off of the screen. I do not want to use weight because there are custom buttons and it would distort them. I have tried both relative layout and frame layout with no avail (I might not be using them correctly). With this set up, the bottom is visible at the top but not at the bottom.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

You could use the relativeLayout to surround your imagevire and scrollview. Then specify the attributes in XML: alignparentbottom=”true” and above=”your_imageview” for the scrollview and alignparentbottom=”true” and below=”your_scrollview” for the imageview.
