Hey Geoff,
thanks for the response!
I couldn't get it to work exactly right with just your instructions,
it was basically just drawing the email field right on top of the
button bar, but after some more experimenting I got it to work with
adding a scrollview around the linearlayout and putting this in it:
<ScrollView
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_above="@+id/buttonBarLayout">
now it works! Thanks for putting me in the right direction.
