I am trying to make a scroll view. I have a text field in my app and when I open the keyboard, the entire screen shifts up and I want to make it scroll so I could see what's going up there.
My scroll view has a text field and some image views to show up on the screen.

Change ScrollView child as RelativeLayout as follows and add Linear Layout inside RelativeLayout:
<ScrollView
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">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

android:textStyle="bold"
android:id="#+id/txtsignup"
android:text="Register Here"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:padding="10dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
Try this, and keep adding your views in the Linear Layout.
first of all you need to Set your ScrollView's height and width to match_parent then the height of your linearLayout must be match_parent too. then everything gonna be okay.

I need to add some buttons at the bottom of a RecyclerView but whatever i do it always takes up the whole space and the buttons wont show on screen.
I tried adding padding that's the same size as the height of the buttons but it doesn't work.

I want to align a scrollable TextView above a RelativeLayout) with 3 buttons at the bottom and a SeekBar above this buttons. The problem with my code is that the RelativeLayout takes the entire screen.

Check this image
Change the height of the ScrollView to android:layout_height="wrap_content"
and remove the android:layout_weight="1"
The following layout should do the job. Firstly, there was a circular dependency in height among <RelativeLayout> and <SeekBar>, so I fixed the height of <SeekBar>. Secondly, the android:layout_alightParentBottom="true" was messing with the layout manager, so removed that. Finally, moved the <SeekBar> above the buttons to easily manage the layout description. Here's the updated code:

Your problem is you set ScrollView android:layout_height="0dp" and android:layout_weight="1"
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center">
and
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
so ScrollView takes nothing for hight
Edit
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
You can set android:layout_weight="1" as you want ratio between ScollView and RelativeLayout. Hare both will get half(1/2) of screen.
I'm attempting to prevent two images from overlapping - and I though I'd be able to do so using two RelativeLayouts inside a LinearLayout - both set to wrap_content - however the two imageViews ( #+id/imageView1 - the boxart and #+id/background - the background) however they still seem to overlap.
Can someone spot what I may have done wrong in this implementation?

Screenshot:
Instead of using Relative layout use a Linear layout with orientation horizontal and then use two Linear layouts with layout_weight=1 for each ImageView. It will divide your screen into two equal parts horizontally.
For example :-
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" />
<LinearLayout android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" />
</LinearLayout>
As per your given layout update your layout as follows:-
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

With regards to your particular situation, the 2 ImageViews causing problems are placed each in a RelativeLayout, which are also placed in a RelativeLayout. Views placed in a relative layout can overlap each other. So when you added the 2 children RelativeLayouts in the parent one, exactly this happened. To make one follow the other, you can add android:layout_toRightOf="#id/id_of_the_layout_you_want_on_the_left_of_this_one" to the second child.
Also, if you are willing to change your layout a bit, you could achieve this through weight and LinearLayout (note however that this will work only if the desired combined width of the 2 children is less than what the parent is willing to offer):
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
... />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
... />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
In my layout i want to display two imagebuttons in the center and a my amountmeter below it on the bottom, all centered vertically, i have tried many ways but cant seem to find that perfect layout. all the component align vertically and center but it makes my amountmeter small and not full width of the screen.
How it should be
how it is now
updated code
current layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/purchase"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:src="#drawable/ic_cart" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/sell"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:src="#drawable/ic_sell" />
<com.example.mobile.view.AmountMeterView
android:id="#+id/mobileAmount"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center|bottom"
android:padding="4dp" />
COPY PASTE BELOW CODE
<?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"

<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/purchase"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/sell"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/purchase"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<com.example.mobile.view.AmountMeterView
android:id="#+id/mobileAmount"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/sell"
android:padding="4dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>
AFTER THAT
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:src="#drawable/ic_sell"
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:src="#drawable/ic_cart"
PUT THIS LINE TO YOUR TWO IMAGE BUTTONS SURELY IT WILL WORK FOR YOU
One Linear layout is enough for this. Do not put your AmountMeterView into it's own LinearLayout.
Just make one Linear layout (vertical), and put all three elements in there. Gravity center_horizontal for all elements.
Try in this way hope this will help you

I am trying to have textviews overlay over imageviews. Something like this
Can someone help me with the code.
Wrap a TextView and ImageView into FrameLayout, put the TextView in FrameLayout after ImageView. Then, wrap the FrameLayout into RelativeLayout OR LinearLayout. Make some position setup (as per the needs).
<RelativeLayout>
<FrameLayout>
<ImageView />
<TextView />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
You can create a frame layout and within the frame layout keep an imageview and a linearlayout(with a translucent background and a textview).
The translucent color can be placed in the colors file as : #80000000
Here is a snippet :)
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mainlayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:foregroundGravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ivFullScreenAd"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:src="#drawable/home_page_ad" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"

I had the same problem and solved it using a custom gridView. You must apply this in getView.
Custom gridView XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/layout_practitioner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/item_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:contentDescription="#string/contentDescriptionContent"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout_login"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#CC515116"
android:visibility="gone"
android:gravity="center" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:text="#string/text_enter_pass_password"
android:paddingBottom="7dp"
android:textSize="20sp"
/>
<EditText

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/edittext_shape"

android:gravity="center"
android:inputType="numberPassword"
android:maxLength="4"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"

android:layout_height="30dp"
android:background="#drawable/buton_shape"

</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout

Though an old question but should incase anyone is interested in the card view version of this question here you go...
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:cardCornerRadius="5dp"
app:cardElevation="5dp"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
android:clickable="true">

Please modify the layout accordingly, If you want to accommodate the images on an imageview only, then you can drop the below layout in a relative one including an imageview too.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/your_image"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bottom_textview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
<!-- layout_gravity="supply accordingly" -->
android:gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>
