I am having a weird issue that I am not sure how to fix. I have a RelativeLayout inside a ScrollView and this scrollView has it's height set to fill_parent. So does the RelativeLayout. Still, the contents are not filling the entire screen and it's going only to the wrap_content of the last layout inside this RelativeLayout.

Here is my code:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.pontai"
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/relativeLayout2"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" >

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/relativeLayout3"
                android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
                android:layout_alignRight="@+id/relativeLayout5"
                android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
                android:orientation="horizontal" >

                <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/textView1"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_gravity="center"
                    android:text="How much points you have here:"
                    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />

                <TextView

                android:visibility="invisible" />
        </RelativeLayout>
    </ScrollView>

</RelativeLayout>

Anyone have ideas of how I can make the RelativeLayout2 to have the same height as the ScrollView, meaning, I want it to reach the bottom of the screen?

Thanks and regards, Felipe

I have faced this problem before. Just Use android:fillViewport="true" in your scrollview and it will fill up the screen.

 <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
         android:fillViewport="true" >
