I have a LinearLayhout that contains a listView and below it an ImageButton.
When I add items to the list, the imageButton is moving lower and lower, which is what I want but when there are many elements in the list so that is the list is big enough to fill the screen, I can scroll down to the bottom of the list, but no further, meaning I can’t see the imageButton anymore.

Code:

<LinearLayout  
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:id="@+id/add_interest_layout_root"
     android:orientation="vertical"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:background="@color/back" 
     android:layout_height="match_parent">

     <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" 
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:divider="@drawable/downa"
           android:footerDividersEnabled="false"
           android:cacheColorHint="@android:color/transparent"
           android:layout_gravity="center"
           android:layout_marginTop="6dp" 
           android:layout_height="wrap_content">
     </ListView>
<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
    android:gravity="center">
    <LinearLayout 
        android:orientation="vertical" 
        android:gravity="center_horizontal" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:id="@+id/LinearLayout16">
        <ImageButton          
              android:src="@drawable/add" 
              android:id="@+id/btn_interest_more" 
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
              android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
              android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" 
              android:background="@android:color/transparent"></ImageButton>
        <TextView 
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
              android:textColor="@android:color/white" 
              android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" 
              android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
              android:id="@+id/TextView08"                
              android:text="be more\nspecific"   
              android:gravity="center"></TextView>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

What am I doing wrong? I want to be able to see the ImageButton even when I scroll down.

    You should do something like this. Mind you this is a pseudo code so you better fill the correct attributes.

    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:id="@+id/add_interest_layout_root"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:background="@color/back" android:layout_height="match_parent">

      <LinearLayout android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_width="match_parent" android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
          android:gravity="center" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
          <!-- LinearLayout elements same as above -->
      </LinearLayout>

      <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" 
          android:layout_above="@+id/linearLayout2"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:divider="@drawable/downa"
          android:footerDividersEnabled="false"
          android:cacheColorHint="@android:color/transparent"
          android:layout_gravity="center"
          android:layout_marginTop="6dp" android:layout_height="match_parent">
      </ListView>

</RelativeLayout>
