android textview scrollview in layout scrollview

android textview scrollview in layout scrollview - android

I set the ScrollView in my LinearLayout. I want a TextView to scroll. I tried to use ScrollView in xml like this. But, it's not working.
<LinearLayout 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:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dp"
tools:context=".SubpagesLayout.ReportResult">
<!-- first scrollView -->
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/edit_corner_blue"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/personalInformation"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/birthDate" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" TestData" />
</LinearLayout>
<!-- second scrollView -->
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textOphthalmoscopy"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:text="standard instrth various settings that allow focusing and adjustment of the light source to accommodate the viewer and to evaluate various features of the fundus." />
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
I tried another way like this, but it's still not working too.
android:maxLines = "AN_INTEGER"
android:scrollbars = "vertical"
I used
myTextView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
So how to let TextView to scroll? If it is the second ScrollView.

You might consider using a NestedScrollView along with a ListView for showing the scrollable TextView.
The ListView will have a fixed size so that it'll not take the total height of the items inside.
So the layout may look like this.
<LinearLayout 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:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dp"
tools:context=".SubpagesLayout.ReportResult">
<!-- first scrollView -->
<NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/edit_corner_blue"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/personalInformation"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/birthDate" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" TestData" />
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
<!--set a fixed height-->
android:layout_height="80dp"
.. Other attributes
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</NestedScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
And the list item of the ListView may contain the TextView you want to scroll. Set the height of the TextView to wrap_content.
<LinearLayout 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:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dp"
tools:context=".SubpagesLayout.ReportResult">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textOphthalmoscopy"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="standard instrth various settings that allow focusing and adjustment of the light source to accommodate the viewer and to evaluate various features of the fundus." />
</LinearLayout>
Now your ListView will have a single item and this will scroll with the default behaviour of list.
The whole layout will be scrolled via NestedScrollView.
Hope that helps!

Having a scrollView inside another scrollView is not a good prictice but ant a you check below links it may fix you problem.

RecyclerView fill empty space inside LinearLayout

Background
I have a header and footer (LinearLayout) with a RecyclerView between them.
The problem
I need that the footer stay fixed at the bottom of the screen and the RecyclerView fills the empty space
What I've tried
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/constraintLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="br.com.sigane.coletordifal.activity.EnderecamentoActivity">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Header" />
</LinearLayout>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/produtos_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Footer" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Also tried to use ConstraintLayout, but without success

Try this
Add android:layout_height="0dp" and android:layout_weight="1" to the RecyclerView
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/constraintLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Header" />
</LinearLayout>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/produtos_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Footer" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I don't think you need to have separate linear layouts. I think just one is enough. Just set your weights like this for your recyclerview and footer.
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/produtos_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Footer" />

I recommend using the constraint layout, it is a FrameLayout on steroids. If you are using android studio 3.2, right-clicking on the root element in the design view shows a menu with the option "convert to constraintlayout"
The reason you do not want to nest layouts like this, Each nested element results in additional measure passes, nested layouts are messy and harder to inflate than flat layouts.
Highly recommend spending an hour or so reading about the constraint layout and how to use it. You will not regret it, helped my improve productivity by 2x.
Hope this is helpful.

Two ListView in ScrollView

I have put two listview in scrollview but i have a problem, when i put item in the first listview the second listview will be scrollable. I want that the whole area will be scrollable and not scrollview, How i do? the first scrollview is listViewEventiAggiunti the second listViewEventi.

I want scroll entire area, i don't want scroll on listview, when i put item in listview the area increases and i scroll entire area is possible?

Ok. Since your minimum SDK version is 16, you have 2 solution for your problem.
First is use this library:
https://github.com/PaoloRotolo/ExpandableHeightListView
This library makes you able to expand your ListViews to full height and then only your ScrollView will be scrollable.
Second solution is to use NestedScrollView instead of ScrollView and then use RecyclerView instead of ListView. Then you should only disable nestedScrolling for your RecyclerView.
Both solutions will give you your desire behavior.

You can use multiple type item for listview and simplified your layout to become like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Scrollview does not scroll when keyboard appears

I have a few EditTexts in my RelativeLayout, and a button aligned at the bottom of it. When the keyboard pops up, I want my layout to resize (therefore, I'm using android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize") and also want it to be scrollable, because in smaller screens resizing it isn't enough.
The problem is I can't get it to scroll at all!
I do need the Button to stay at the bottom of the screen.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#FFF">
<!-- some hidden RelativeLayouts, filling the whole screen -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/form_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true" android:layout_above="#+id/ok_btn">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="#99000000" android:visibility="visible">
<View
android:id="#+id/shade"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignTop="#+id/logradouro1"
android:background="#FFF" android:layout_marginTop="-30dp"/>
<!-- some visible EditTexts and TextViews here -->
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
<Button android:id="#+id/ok_btn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp" android:background="#color/verdeBotao" android:text="Cadastrar"
android:textColor="#FFF" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Below are 2 screenshots to illustrate what is happening. Please notice that I can't scroll when the keyboard is up.
Thanks!

i am posting something similar to your ui. take a RelativeLayout for the button at the bottom. set gravity to bottom and your button view should android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/m_table_menu" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layuserdetails"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="5dp" >
Yourviewss......i guess edittexts
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
//scrollable Button layout
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/m_table_menu"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:padding="0dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/laysharepost"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

How to change the height of ExpandableListView when group is expanded

How to change the height of ExpandableListView when group is expanded/collapsed?
I want to change the height of ExpandableListView to fit the height of its content, so that the view will not scroll inside itself.
this is the layout for main activity.
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
tools:context="jp.foo.android.activity.FooActivity"
tools:ignore="MergeRootFrame" />
and this is a layout for the fragment of the main activity.
<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="wrap_content"
tools:context="jp.foo.android.fragment.FooFragment"
android:background="#color/category_bg">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout">
<TextView
android:text="#string/subtitle_question_category"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/subtitle_category"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|top"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/frameLayout"
android:background="#drawable/category_list_bg_shape"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:minHeight="300dp">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/category_list_progressbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:visibility="gone">
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
<ExpandableListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/category_list"
android:transcriptMode="normal">
</ExpandableListView>
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Below is the actual layout.
ExpandableListView will scroll inside when it has too many contents.
I want to scroll whole screen. Not only scroll view, but with header.

I solved a similar issue putting everything into a Header. I was close to solving it the traditional ways (ie. nesting layouts, weights, ...) but I felt the solution was pretty dirty, requiring overriding methods such as onGroupClick etc... to disable the ExpandableListView's scroll, while the header thing was clean and worked flawlessly for me.
So if you want to try this approach, just put an ExpandableListView alone inside your fragment, and prepare the rest to be inserted as Header.
So in your fragment a full ExpandableListView:
<ExpandableListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/category_list"
android:transcriptMode="normal">
</ExpandableListView>
Then create the layout expandable_header.xml:
<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="wrap_content"
tools:context="jp.foo.android.fragment.FooFragment"
android:background="#color/category_bg">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout">
<TextView
android:text="#string/subtitle_question_category"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/subtitle_category"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|top"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/frameLayout"
android:background="#drawable/category_list_bg_shape"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:minHeight="300dp">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/category_list_progressbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:visibility="gone">
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
And then inflate the header into the ExpandableListView:
.
.
.
View view = View.inflate(context, R.layout.expandable_header, null);
expandableList.addHeaderView(view, null, false);
.
.
.
This way the header will scroll together with the ExpandableListView, as it's inside it.
BTW, your layout has redundant elements, for example the FrameLayout that contains only a TextView. You can use only the TextView. Also the LinearLayout with the ProgressBar, if you are not using an opaque background, you could put the ProgressBar alone. The less ViewGroups you use the better the layout will perform!

How do I align views at the bottom of the screen?

Here's my layout code;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView android:text="#string/welcome"
android:id="#+id/TextView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</TextView>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/LinearLayout"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="bottom">
<EditText android:id="#+id/EditText"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</EditText>
<Button android:text="#string/label_submit_button"
android:id="#+id/Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
What this looks like is on the left and what I want it to look like is on the right.
The obvious answer is to set the TextView to fill_parent on height, but this causes no room to be left for the button or entry field.
Essentially the issue is that I want the submit button and the text entry to be a fixed height at the bottom and the text view to fill the rest of the space. Similarly, in the horizontal linear layout I want the submit button to wrap its content and for the text entry to fill the rest of the space.
If the first item in a linear layout is told to fill_parent it does exactly that, leaving no room for other items. How do I get an item which is first in a linear layout to fill all space apart from the minimum required by the rest of the items in the layout?
Relative layouts were indeed the answer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:text="#string/welcome"
android:id="#+id/TextView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
</TextView>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/InnerRelativeLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >
<Button
android:text="#string/label_submit_button"
android:id="#+id/Button"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</Button>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/EditText"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/Button"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</EditText>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

The modern way to do this is to have a ConstraintLayout and constrain the bottom of the view to the bottom of the ConstraintLayout with app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
The example below creates a FloatingActionButton that will be aligned to the end and the bottom of the screen.
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
For reference, I will keep my old answer.
Before the introduction of ConstraintLayout the answer was a relative layout.
If you have a relative layout that fills the whole screen you should be able to use android:layout_alignParentBottom to move the button to the bottom of the screen.
If your views at the bottom are not shown in a relative layout then maybe the layout above it takes all the space. In this case you can put the view, that should be at the bottom, first in your layout file and position the rest of the layout above the views with android:layout_above. This enables the bottom view to take as much space as it needs, and the rest of the layout can fill all the rest of the screen.

In a ScrollView this doesn't work, as the RelativeLayout would then overlap whatever is in the ScrollView at the bottom of the page.
I fixed it using a dynamically stretching FrameLayout :
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout01"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- content goes here -->
<!-- stretching frame layout, using layout_weight -->
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
</FrameLayout>
<!-- content fixated to the bottom of the screen -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<!-- your bottom content -->
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

You can keep your initial linear layout by nesting the relative layout within the linear layout:
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView android:text="welcome"
android:id="#+id/TextView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</TextView>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Button android:text="submit"
android:id="#+id/Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

The answer above (by Janusz) is quite correct, but I personnally don't feel 100% confortable with RelativeLayouts, so I prefer to introduce a 'filler', empty TextView, like this:
<!-- filler -->
<TextView android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />
before the element that should be at the bottom of the screen.

You can do this with a LinearLayout or a ScrollView, too. Sometimes it is easier to implement than a RelativeLayout. The only thing you need to do is to add the following view before the Views you want to align to the bottom of the screen:
<View
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
This creates an empty view, filling the empty space and pushing the next views to the bottom of the screen.

1. Use ConstraintLayout in your root Layout
And set app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" to let the Layout on the bottom of the screen:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">
</LinearLayout>
2. Use FrameLayout in your root Layout
Just set android:layout_gravity="bottom" in your layout
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="horizontal">
</LinearLayout>
3. Use LinearLayout in your root Layout (android:orientation="vertical")
(1) Set a layout android:layout_weight="1" on the top of the your Layout
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="welcome" />
(2) Set the child LinearLayout for android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:gravity="bottom"
The main attribute is ndroid:gravity="bottom", let the child View on the bottom of Layout.
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="horizontal">
</LinearLayout>
4. Use RelativeLayout in the root Layout
And set android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" to let the Layout on the bottom of the screen
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:orientation="horizontal">
</LinearLayout>
Output

This also works.
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayout4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/linearLayout3"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"
/>
</LinearLayout>

Following up on Timores's elegant solution, I have found that the following creates a vertical fill in a vertical LinearLayout and a horizontal fill in a horizontal LinearLayout:
<Space
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />

You don't even need to nest the second relative layout inside the first one. Simply use the android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" in the Button and EditText.

If you don't wish to make many changes, then you could just put:
android:layout_weight="1"
for the TextView having ID as #+id/TextView i.e
<TextView android:text="#string/welcome"
android:id="#+id/TextView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
</TextView>

Creating both header and footer, here is an example:
Layout XML
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#color/backgroundcolor"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:background="#FF0000">
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#FFFF00">
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Screenshot

For a case like this, always use RelativeLayouts. A LinearLayout is not intended for such a usage.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/db1_root"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Place your layout here -->
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:paddingRight="20dp" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/setup_macroSavebtn"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Save" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/setup_macroCancelbtn"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Cancel" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Use the below code. Align the button to buttom. It's working.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_back"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:text="Back" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.97"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Payment Page" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Submit"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Use android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" in your <RelativeLayout>.
This will definitely help.

In case you have a hierarchy like this:
<ScrollView>
|-- <RelativeLayout>
|-- <LinearLayout>
First, apply android:fillViewport="true" to the ScrollView and then apply android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" to the LinearLayout.
This worked for me perfectly.
<ScrollView
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:scrollbars="none"
android:fillViewport="true">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/linearLayoutHorizontal"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

You can just give your top child view (the TextView #+id/TextView) an attribute:
android:layout_weight="1".
This will force all other elements below it to the bottom.

This can be done with a linear layout too.
Just provide Height = 0dp and weight = 1 to the layout above and the one you want in the bottom. Just write height = wrap content and no weight.
It provides wrap content for the layout (the one that contains your edit text and button) and then the one that has weight occupies the rest of the layout.
I discovered this by accident.

I used the solution Janusz posted, but I added padding to the last View since the top part of my layout was a ScrollView.
The ScrollView will be partly hidden as it grows with content. Using android:paddingBottom on the last View helps show all the content in the ScrollView.
