Linear layout below the ListView, Some portions not visible?

I have a problem with LinearLayout which is below the listview. I tried to give the listview weight and layout above, set the layout_height to 0dp but nothing wotked.
Here is my XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"

Your layout edited by adding layout weights. Please check.

You should try List View with Layout having weight.
Sample Code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.3"
/>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.4"
>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/lvMain"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.3"
/>
</LinearLayout>
In this your height is fixed for listview. Assuming that you can use list view as srollable in particular height.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"

</RelativeLayout>
Have edited your code. Try this.
Here in this I have used RelativeLayout, so that we use android:alignParentBottom="true" for bottom layout which makes the layout in fix in bottom. Simillarly we can do for top layout using android:alignParentBottom="true". Now coming to ListView, which we need to place between top and bottom layout I have used the following code to achieve it
android:layout_below="#+id/topLayout"
android:layout_above="#+id/bottomLayout"
This makes the ListView to stick in between the top and bottom layout.
Hope this is helpful:)

Change as below

My scrollView does not scroll?

I have a main layout that fits the screen, then i want it to scroll down to show the button,
i tried removing fillviewport but it then collapses the view,
I even made the linear layout wrap_content and it does the same, collapses the view

trying to position my checkbox above the keyboard in XML

My activity looks like this:
I use this XML :
<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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<SearchView
android:layout_width="0px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#5b74a8"
android:padding="4dp"
android:id="#+id/searchView"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_weight="7">
</SearchView>
<ImageButton
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/settingsButton"
android:src="#drawable/settingsicon"
android:background="#drawable/ambuttonstatessettings"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:onClick="settingsPopUp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/contacts_list"></ListView>
</LinearLayout>
But I want it to look like this, with a checkbox above the keyboard. Or if the keyboard is not there, the checkbox should be at the bottom :
Any idea how I can do this ? I tried this code, which is the closest I've come (basically, making a new linear layout at the bottom) but I can't get it right. And can't figure out why.

try this:

this is the solution.

When the expandable listview has a long list of items, it expands over the bottom layout (the buttons layout).
Is there a way to tell the listview to expand up to where the bottom layout starts?

I have made some changes in your XML File.What I did is make your Button Layout android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" and make your details layout as android:layout_above="#+id/button_layout".Hope it will solve your issue.

ScrollView is not scrolling overflowed layout

I have a scroll view containing one child layout(linear layout) and that child contains a relative layout and a linear layout. Relative layout and linear layout shares half-half screen. Linear layout has buttons added to it dynamically.
Now problem arises as scroll view does not scroll buttons while it scrolls relative layout and linear layout.
<ScrollView>
<LinearLayout>
<RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
<LinearLayout>
->Dynamically adding buttons here
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
I want those buttons scroll with scrollview
For reference my xml code is :-
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

AFAIK, If you want to divide screen in to same two sizes, you have to take another scrollView in bottom view, like below example...
<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" >
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/darker_gray" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/stauslinearlayout"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="#string/app_name"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#android:color/darker_gray"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:cursorVisible="true"
android:drawableLeft="#android:drawable/ic_input_add"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="status"
android:maxLength="50"
android:padding="7dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#000"
android:textColorHint="#5222" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right|center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="statusnumber" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" >

<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

and if you don't want to take another scrollView, then you have to give wrap_contant to bottom linear-layout.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
