I have a simple layout with a name on the top, and a button which I want to be at the bottom of the screen, or beyond that in case I add more items.
So I am using a ScrollView with a LinearLayout as follows:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/white"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
tools:context=".ItemDetailActivity" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<!-- Name -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/top_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/name_label"
style="@style/Header_Label_TextView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/name" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/name_value"
style="@style/Value_Label_TextView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/name_label" />
</RelativeLayout>
<!-- button -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/ButtonLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/add_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10sp"
android:onClick="editItem"
android:text="@string/button_edit" />
</RelativeLayout>
<requestFocus />
</LinearLayout>
This is what I get:
How do I make it so that the button appears at the bottom of the screen or beyond. Upon searching online, most answers were to set the `android:fillViewport="true", but that is not helping. What am I doing wrong?
Change your Button layout like this:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/ButtonLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="bottom" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/add_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10sp"
android:onClick="editItem"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:text="@string/button_edit" />
</RelativeLayout>
