Question

This is my .xml file where I have used two scrollview,in Input Edittext and onether in output TextView. What is wrong here…It is not working in android device.

Another problem is that when I turn my device it only shows the input text area. The output text area goes down.I want to see the half screen of input and half screen of output area.

How to fix it??

Thanks

Try setting layout_weight=1 and layout_height=0dp for the two scroll views instead of their
contents.
