Hi @all. I currently try to design a "simple" layout with android. What it should do:
At the top and bottom of the screen should be a bar with a little content. LinearLayout, horizontal. Between the bars is the space for the content. This content should be devided into a "large" upper region and a linear layout with (right aligned) buttons at the bottom. If there is not too much content the content area should be display centered in the available space. If there are more elements in the content, the area should grow until it fills the complete space between top and bottom bars. The Buttons below the content should always be visible. The area for the content should be scrollable in this case. I tried something like this: RelativeLayout LinearLayout TopBar (AlignParentTop) Button1 Button2 ... LinearLayout BottomBar (AlignParentBottom) ButtomA ButtonB ... This works fine. Then i tried to add an additional element FrameLayout (Above Bottombar, Below TopBar) This FrameLayout fills the remaining space. Fine. Now i need a layout like this: RelativeLayout (wrap_content Width/Height) ScrollView LinearLayout CONTENT (sometimes small, sometimes really large) LinearLayout ButtonBar (horizontal) ButtonX ButtonY ... If i attach the buttonbar to the bottom of the relative layout the relative layout grows and does no longer wrap around the content. Instead it's height fills the complete available space. If i put the buttonBar into the upper Relative layout i can fit it between Content and bottomBar. But if the contentn grows the buttonBar slides down outside the screen. Is it possible that such a simple layout is not managable with Android? I am working for hours on this and always something does not work :-( HELP PLEASE!!!
