Question

I’ve got following view hierarchy:

I want ScrollView with nested RelativeLayout to be between relativeHeader and relativeFooter, because now it’s overlapped by footer. But when I try to add android:layout_above=”@id/relativeFooter” I got error that there is no such view. There’s probably something funny in what I’m doing. And all that ‘nested relativelayouts’ stuff. But how can I acomplish my goal?
Here’s xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"

Answer 1

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@id/relativeFooter"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:background="#716D69"
    >

Remove the “+” from the android:id="@id/relativeFooter" like above and do this

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollContent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@id/relativeHeader"
    android:layout_above="@+id/relativeFooter"
    android:paddingBottom="5dp">
