I have a relativeLayout inside a linearLayout . relativeLayout contains buttons on the left,

  • 0

I have a relativeLayout inside a linearLayout. relativeLayout contains buttons on the left, and a terminal&edittext on the right. I want only part of this relativeLayout to be scrollable, the buttons on the left. However If I try to do this the whole thing becomes scrollable. If I separate the buttons on the left from the terminal on the right, into two different relativeLayouts, the buttons become scrollable but the terminal and edittext now appear below the buttons instead of to the right of them.
Current screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PHxc8.png

How do i jsut make the buttons scroll while keeping the terminal where it is? Why do the relative commands to be below/to the right of buttons not work if I separate them into two different relativeLayouts?
