Question

If you edit in Contacts,

• the Save & Cancel button always stays in top and placed above the
  Virtual Keyboard.
• the form elements are scrollable

I want to achieve the same behavior. I have very long form to enter and I want to make the User anytime Save/Cancel.

Please help.

Answer 1

you can do it by adding a footer view in your layout.example :

I achieve the same using this layout :

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


    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#ffffff">
        <RelativeLayout 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="50dp">
            <Button "></Button>
        </RelativeLayout>

        <ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1">
            <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#ffffff">
                 <RelativeLayout android:gravity="bottom"
                    android:paddingTop="40dp" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
                    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:background="#ffffff"
                    android:paddingBottom="55dp">

                    <Button ></Button>

                    <Button ></Button>

                    <Button></Button>


                    <Button></Button>


                </RelativeLayout>
            </LinearLayout>

        </ScrollView>
<!--for bottom bar -->
        <RelativeLayout android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/linearLayout2" android:background="#ffffff">
            <Button ></Button>
            <Button ></Button>
            <Button ></Button>
        </RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>
