Question

I’m trying to make a screen with a TextView at the top, the ListView in the middle and a Button at the bottom. I’d like it to be so that the TextView always is the top at the screen and the button always is the bottom, and then the ListView is in between. When the ListView exceeds the “space in the middle” I’d like the scroll-function to be only between the TextView and Button. With my attempt it just expands beyond the TextView and Button.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@drawable/paper" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tvLOL"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:text="Standardvarer"
    android:textSize="40dp" />

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignTop="@+id/tvLOL"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/bNyVare"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/bNyVare"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:text="Tilføj ny vare"
    android:textSize="30dp" />

</RelativeLayout>

See if this helps(the LinearLayout wrapping the ListView should be removed(and move the layout_above/below to the ListView) if you only use it to wrap the ListView and nothing else):

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@drawable/paper" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tvLOL"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:text="Standardvarer"
    android:textSize="40dp" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/bNyVare"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:text="Tilføj ny vare"
    android:textSize="30dp" />

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@id/tvLOL"
    android:layout_above="@id/bNyVare"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>
