如何在Android XML中进行此布局

Question

I am novice in Android trying to make this layout:

Simply what I want to achieve: The red container should take as much space as it needs but not as much that green container have to be shrinked. If there are too many items, red container will be scrollable. Green container is also always centered in orange one if there is space for it (if not it is actually still centered).

I don't know how to do it at all :( . Here is my try:

The problem is that I want to always maintain height of green container (minHeight does not work I can't understand why) and make the green container centered in orange one. I have problem with Scenario 2 (as you can see in the picture), this code works good in first scenario.

<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/red_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
        android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <!-- Items are here -->

        </LinearLayout>

    </ScrollView>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/orange_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@android:color/holo_orange_dark"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/green_container"
            android:layout_width="100dp"
            android:background="@android:color/holo_green_dark"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:orientation="horizontal">

            <!-- My content -->

        </LinearLayout>

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Edit: minHeight does not help:

Answer 1

Try setting property android:minHeight = "(whatever)dp" to orangeContainer. This worked for me in others "similiar" cases.

Answer 2

Is this what you are looking for:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@+id/list_items"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:background="@android:color/background_dark" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/list_items"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:background="@android:color/darker_gray"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:minHeight="200dp"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TextView" />
</LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>
