I’m working on a project where I have a screen that contains some elements separated by different layout types. All these elements needed to be grouped within a single LinearLayout so that I could "envelop them" in a ScrollView. The problem is that one of these layouts is simply 'throwing' out of sight another, occupying all available space. The result is this:
Notice in the blue part that has a layout (in case, a RelativeLayout) smashed out of the screen. This layout should be fixed at the bottom of the screen, but if I change the type of the Linearlayout fill immediately above it, this is the result:
The buttons CANCEL and SAVE should be fixed at the bottom of the screen. This is the XML used in the layout:

Where am I going wrong? I’m looking for solutions for a long time and can’t find anything that helps me.
