How would it be easier? the main problem that I was having is that the layout in landscape was just big enough to hide that last field under the button bar but not big enough to scroll. so even if i created a new layout for landscape mode vs portrait i would still have this problem. I just needed to figure out how to have it stick to the top of the button bar and not overlap basically.
