Question

I am trying to use a scrollview in a framelayout.
The scrollview should be displayed just in the downer half of the display.

At the moment the positioning is right:

As you can see, the right areas are scollable or not.
But the problem is, that the upper part can’t be clicked anymore, cause the scrollview is over this part.

To display the scrollview in the downer half, I put some padding on it:

scrollviwe = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.linlayout);
scrollview.setPadding(0, 175, 0, 0);

So I didn’t find any way to get this displayed with the padding option.

I think, there is no way to get around setting a margin for the scrollview,
but how do I so?

Here is the complete, but shortened XML code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   android:orientation="vertical" >
    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/framelayout"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="top|left" >
         <ImageView
         android:id="@+id/coverimg"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_gravity="top|left"
         android:maxHeight="100dp"
         android:minHeight="130dp"
         android:minWidth="130dp"
         android:src="@drawable/cover_img" />
</FrameLayout>
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/linlayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/linlayout2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
    <Button
    android:id="@+id/teilen"
    style="ButtonStyle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/btn_blue"
    android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
    android:padding="4dp"
    android:text="Teilen"
    android:layout_margin="4dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" />
    <Button
    android:id="@+id/kaufen"
    style="ButtonStyle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/btn_blue"
    android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
    android:padding="4dp"
    android:text="Kaufen"
    android:layout_margin="4dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"/>
    <Button
    android:id="@+id/youtube"
    style="ButtonStyle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/btn_blue"
    android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
    android:padding="4dp"
    android:text="YouTube"
    android:layout_margin="4dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:text="Zuletzt gehört:" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</FrameLayout>

Have you tried looking into using a RelativeLayout? If I understand your goals correctly, it might be easier to manage all the different views on the screen, as you can align views relative to each other or the borders of the screen. It can also be used in a similar fashion to FrameLayouts to overlay views on top of one another.
