i am not able to implement this please anyone help me in this designing..Below is my designing code..
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/navbar"
android:background="#drawable/navbar_blooptransprant64"
/>
<ScrollView
android:layout_below="#+id/navbar"
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<LinearLayout

Android Scroll view content

Hi I want to draw my ScrollView on whole screen and ScrollView content should be display on the whole screen
But I also want to show my ad on bottom of the screen. I have confusion here I just want to give ScrollView a
Height something like (Fill parent - 20 px) and my ads should be display at (20 PX) at the bottom of the screen
Note that whatever in the scroll view it should be display on whole screen except (20 px ) of the bottom.

You can try this:
<?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:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="20dip"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
>
</LinearLayout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_alignTop="#id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<!-- Page content -->
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
So adView will take fixed 20 dip portion and remaining part will be taken by ScrollView.
Hope this helps.

use this layout:
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/your_ad_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:text="sample button" />
</LinearLayout>
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/myscroll"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/your_ad_layout"
>
</>
</RelativeLayout>

All 3 current answers use a RelativeLayout as the root element of the layout, this is bad for performance.
Use a FrameLayout instead, then to make your ScrollView fill_parent - 20px, set its height to fill_parent and its layout_marginBottom to 20px. Set the Ad View to layout_gravity="bottom" and its height to 20px.
In addition, you should make this 20px 20dp, move it into a values/dimens.xml file, and use this same value for the two parameter mentioned above. It's then easy to define different sizes per screen size/density.

// try this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="5dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
</ScrollView>
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="20dp"
app:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
app:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-9766031373541061/3761995838"
app:loadAdOnCreate="true"
app:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, TEST_DEVICE_ID" >
</com.google.ads.AdView>
</LinearLayout>

set ImageView below a ScrollView

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="590dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical" >
...
Can I place image as background in bottom Activity (window)? For instance, when scrolling ScrollView, image must be always bottom and visible.

Did you try using RelativeLayouts? Something like:
<RelativeLayout android:width="fill_parent"
android:height="fill_parent"
...>
<WhateverYouWantAtBottom android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
/>
<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<whateverYouWantScrollable android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
At the bottom you could have an imageview with the image you wanted. No matter how long your content in the scrollview is, the imageview will not budge from the bottom as long as it has the alignParentBottom set as true.
EDIT: In the above code, the <whateverYouWantAtTheBottom> will be in the background as I declared it first. The foreground will be the contents of the scrollView as that was added last in the XML.

i tried this and its work for me
<?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"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
/>
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/imageView1" >
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

Layout issue on Android with FrameLayout and ScrollView

I'm trying to split the screen in 2 areas, to the left an ImageView and to the right a ScrolView. I'm adding the ImageView and the content of the ScrollView programatically, so the xml file of the layout looks like this:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/scene_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left"
>
</FrameLayout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="#dimen/scrollmenu_width"
android:layout_gravity="right"
>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/scrollmenu"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</FrameLayout>
What am I doing wrong? because I'm getting the ScrollView to the right, but the ImageView centered (relative to the screen) placed on the left of the screen. The resolution of the image exceeds the screen's resolution so I get black sp

I think you should make use of the LinearLayout and the weight parameter to solve this problem.
I have edited your snippet to give you an idea of how you should use it.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/scene_view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:layout_weight=1>
</FrameLayout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight=1
android:layout_gravity="right">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/scrollmenu"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</FrameLayout>
I hope it helps..

How can I place new items under scrollview

I have a vertical scrollable layout with lots of items, working fine.
I am trying to place a new linearlayout to the bottom of the screen that would NOT be part of the scrollable layout.
That is, it would sit on the buttom (like an adview) independent of the scrollable part.
I was only able to place it inside the scrollView. How can I place it below, so it would always visible ?

Use a RelativeLayout, and organize it like this:
<?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"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_above="#+id/linearLayoutThatDoesNotScroll" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayoutWithLotofContent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayoutThatDoesNotScroll"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" >
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
The trick is in the ScrollView placement, at the same time it is aligned with the top of the screen AND above the lower, fixed, LinearLayout. It just works.

something like this :)
<?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" >
<ScrollView android:id="#+id/scroll_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/bottom"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="10dip" />
</LinearLayout>
You will add your bottom content to the bottom linearLayout with the android:id=bottom :)

If you used a vertical LinearLayout to hold the scrollable layout, then you could add the adview to the LinearLayout below the scrollable layout and it would appear at the bottom of the screen. (assuming your weights are set correctly,and the scroll layout is set to WRAP_CONTENT)
A RelativeLayout would allow you to set the adview to align itself with the bottom of the scrollable layout as well, but you would still need to make sure the scrollable layout was set to WRAP_CONTENT so it didn't automatically take up the entire screen.

<?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" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/dialogButtonOK"
android:layout_width="100px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" Ok "
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#drawable/button_style"
/>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:id="#+id/scrView"
android:layout_above="#id/dialogButtonOK"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
>
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="*"
android:id="#+id/main_table" >
</TableLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
This is worked for me
