Question

I have layout which contains a header, content in the scrollview and a footer. The position of the header and footer should be fixed, but when I start the app, the footer isn’t visible, I can only scroll to bottom of the content and that’s it. How can I make it so that I can still scroll down to bottom of the content, but that my footer is allways visible?

Answer 1

You should use a layout_weight for the ScrollView so that it does not take all the remaining space:

    <ScrollView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1">
