Android Developer has the right answer, but the provided source code is pretty verbose and doesn't actually implement the pattern described in the diagram.
Here is a better template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- stuff to scroll -->
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
<!-- footer -->
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
Its up to you to decide what views you use for the "scrolling" and "footer" parts. Also know that you probably have to set the ScrollViews
fillViewPort .
