Question

My layout consists of a ScrollView which holds everything. At some point I need to show a View at the bottom of the screen on top (above) of ScrollView (so ScrollView goes behind the View) so I could scroll the screen up and down while this View still be sticked to a device’s screen bottom. Please advice guys how to do such a layout. Thank you.

If you want the scrollview to go behind the view, this can be done like this:

(partial code copy from this SO question)

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout1">

        <ScrollView android:id="@+id/scrollView"  
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        </ScrollView>

        <View android:id="@+id/bottomView" 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:visibility="gone">>
        </View>
</RelativeLayout>

The scrollview will now expand beyond the View element.
