I am assuming the whole thing is being wrapped in a LinearLayout for my comments below. > the scrollview pushes the linear layout under it off the screen. That's because you told it to via android:layout_height="fill_parent". > The > only way I can get this to work is if I explicitly set the scrollview > height in pixels to be less than the total height of the screen, but > hardcoding a height isn't going to work on different devices. How can > I do this? Set the ScrollView's android:layout_height="0px" and its android:layout_weight="1". Android will allocate 0px initially to the ScrollView, then however many pixels the LinearLayout needs. It then divides the extra pixels between those widgets with weights; if the only weight is on the ScrollView, it will "absorb" all those pixels. Or, use a RelativeLayout to wrap the whole thing, anchoring the LinearLayout to the bottom via android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" and anchoring the ScrollView to the top (android:layout_alignParentTop="true") and to the top of the LinearLayout (android:layout_above="@id/whatever"). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Training: http://commonsware.com/training.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
