I have an EditText field inside a LinearLayout that is in scrollview. As long as ScrollView does not exist, layout_weight="1.0" allows my EditText to take up the remaining screen. But as soon as I finish LinearLayout in ScrollView , it changes EditText by one line, and layout_weight doesn't work.
My full layout file
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:id="@+id/titleTextView" style="@style/TitleHeaderBarText" android:text="@string/announcement" /> <ScrollView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:gravity="right" > <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Subject:" android:textSize="16sp" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/et_subject" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Announcement:" android:textSize="16sp" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/et_announcement" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" /> <Button android:id="@+id/btn_save" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingLeft="24sp" android:paddingRight="24dp" android:text="Save" /> </LinearLayout> </ScrollView> </LinearLayout>
I don't seem to understand what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions, please, on how to get EditText to occupy the rest of the screen from LinearLayout , which is in ScrollView .
Thanks.
EDIT Repeating the same problem and this is my layout.
