    copied!<p>I have a button that's below a <code>ScrollView</code>, the button is set to align to the parents bottom. The scroll view is set to <code>wrap_content</code> for its height. Once the <code>ScrollView</code> is filled with content it appears beneath the button. How can I set it to not go behind the button, for the <code>ScrollView</code>to end when the button begins?</p> <p>I've tried placing <code>android:layout_below</code> in the bottom button, and when that didn't work I tried <code>layout_above</code> in the <code>ScrollView</code> for above the button. That last one caused my app to crash on start, no idea why. The first one once the <code>ScrollView</code> is longer than the screen it causes the button to be placed underneath with no way to access it.</p> <p>Here's my XML file.</p> <pre><code>&lt;RelativeLayout 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="@color/light_blue" android:padding="5dp" tools:context=".MainActivity" &gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/editText_query" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="@string/queryPromt" android:imeOptions="actionNext" android:inputType="text" android:textColor="#000" /&gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/editText_tag" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/editText_query" android:layout_marginTop="10dp" android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/saveButton" android:hint="@string/tagPrompt" android:imeOptions="actionDone" android:inputType="text" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@id/saveButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_below="@id/editText_query" android:text="@string/save" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/textView_taggedSearches" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignRight="@id/saveButton" android:layout_below="@id/saveButton" android:layout_marginTop="10dp" android:background="#666" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:text="@string/taggedSearches" android:textColor="#FFF" android:textSize="18sp" /&gt; &lt;ScrollView android:id="@+id/scrollView_query" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@id/textView_taggedSearches" android:padding="5dp" &gt; &lt;TableLayout android:id="@+id/tableLayout_query" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="5dp" android:stretchColumns="*" &gt; &lt;/TableLayout&gt; &lt;/ScrollView&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/button_clearTags" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:text="@string/clearTags" /&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; </code></pre>
