As you are using relative layout, first put the button at the bottom of screen, and then let scrollview occupy the the height available.
Try following code:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rel_btn_Check"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="50dip"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#android:color/black" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonCheck"
android:layout_width="50sp"
android:layout_height="50sp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

android:text="Checked" />

ScrollView control don't display more rows by scrolling

The tvReceiveNumber and tvOnlyOrExceptNumber controls have many rows, so I add a ScrollView control in my UI.
I think I can display more rows using ScrollView, but I failed, the ScrollView control don't scroll to diplay more rows.
How can I do? Thanks!
BTW, if you have better way to display many rows by scrolling screen and keep the toolbar buttons such as btnEdit, btnDeleet and btnClose always display on the bottom of screen, wolud you please tell me?

The following code is not good too. The toolbar buttons such as btnEdit, btnDeleet and btnClose can't always display on the bottom of screen, I need to scroll UI to display toolbar, and more some rows of the tvOnlyOrExceptNumber control disappear, I don't know why?

ScrollView needs to be the root element in your xml. Add your elements to a LinearLayout or a RelativeLayout that is the first and only child of your ScrollView.

</ScrollView>

try
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
It worked for a similar problem i've had some time ago.

have you tried to set the height of both the problematic linearLayout and the imageView to wrap_content?
also, have you tried to set a weight (to 1) to the problematic linearLayout and then set its height to 0px ?

Android - how to place buttons and spinners with linearlayout?

I have this code:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="85dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPostalAddress"
android:text="neshto">
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonOk"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:text="Ok" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonCancel"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:text="Cancel" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</LinearLayout>
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/size"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/color"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
I cant post image with the result I'm looking for, but I want the two buttons Ok and Cancel to be below, the two spinners to stand almost right down to the text field. But I can't handle these layouts. Can somebody give me an idea? I've tried it so many times, but it's still not looking the way I want.

Try this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="85dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPostalAddress"
android:text="neshto" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/size"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/color"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" >
<View
android:id="#+id/strut"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonOk"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/strut"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:text="Ok" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonCancel"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/strut"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:text="Cancel" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Use a RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout as layout container:
<?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" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="85dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPostalAddress"
android:text="neshto" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Spinner
android:layout_below="#+id/editText"
android:id="#+id/size"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Spinner
android:layout_below="#+id/size"
android:id="#+id/color"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonOk"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:text="Ok" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonCancel"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:text="Cancel" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

ListView pushes button out of screen

I'm trying to get the ListView to remain the same size even if it overflows. However, once the ListView overflows, it pushes the buttons below off the screen. How do I prevent it from pushing other elements that are below it?
As you can see from the above images, the second shows that the buttons get pushed off the screen once the ListView overflows.

Changet
<ListView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"

You can use a relative layout for this. Modify the below according to your needs
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginRight="11dp"
android:layout_marginTop="11dp"
android:text="Create New Group" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_marginTop="23dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_marginLeft="11dp"
android:layout_marginTop="18dp"
android:text="Members" />
<EditText

android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/textView1"

android:layout_above="#+id/button1"
android:layout_below="#+id/editText2"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/editText2"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/editText2"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginRight="13dp"

android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/textView1"
android:text="Save" />
</RelativeLayout>

I added this line : android:layout_weight="1" to the LinearLayout where EditText exist (my problem source) and the problem is gone !
look at the code where I commented <!-- HERE!!! -->
LOL I know i'm very late to answer this Q ,, sorry ,, but for anyone who is still struggling !
<?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"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

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

<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/editText2"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/EdgeMargins" />
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Done"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/EdgeMargins" />
</LinearLayout>
i had my problem with the highlighted EditText in the pic ,,, it expands with the entered text and pushes the DONE Button down !
I know my solution may look so silly but I took a whole day to solve this !
Hope it helps ^_^ GL
