Code for EditText box underneath the ScrollView?

Question

Hi there I want to put my EditText box above my ScrollView so the user can still scroll down but at the same time still see the EditText at a fixed view at the top how do I do that ? / /

This is my code

    <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="match_parent"
    android:background="#000000"
    tools:context=".BitActivity" >

<EditText
                android:id="@+id/input"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
                android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
                android:ems="10"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:hint="Type In Your Value"
                android:inputType="numberDecimal"
                android:textColor="#2FB3E3"
                android:textSize="30px" >
                <requestFocus />
            </EditText>

    <ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" >



            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/byte1"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
                android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                android:layout_below="@+id/input"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:text="Please Enter a Value"
                android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
                android:textColor="#FFFF00"
                android:textSize="40px" />

        </RelativeLayout>
    </ScrollView>

</RelativeLayout>

in your ScrollView you have android:layout_alignParentTop="true". But the ScrollViews parent is the RelativeLayout meaning that it will align the top of the ScrollView with the top of the RelativeLayout (which is the top of the screen).

Try replacing your current ScrollView with this::

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_below="@id/input"
>

The key here is this line: android:layout_below="@id/input" which align the ScrollViews top just below the View with id "input"'s bottom.
