Integration with startapp, Add position problem

Hi Developers,
Hope you all doing great with apps.

Well i came up with my first android app and about to integrate with some ADD SDK.
I am still not sure which one i will choose. For the sake of integration experience, i am trying to integrate with StartApp SDK.
I have integrated it in the code and Adds are visible on activity page. Whats the Issues ???

Well i spent around more than a day to adjust the position of the add with my SCROLL VIEW and landed nowhere :frowning:

My app uses Scroll view(with Relative layout child’s inside). To show the ADD’s at the Bottom of the Application, i wrapped the Scroll view and another Linear Layout(Containing ADD View) inside Linear Parent. Means i have a Linear Parent with 2 child’s(Scroll View and Linear View) inside.

While testing it on device, it shows only Scroll section, Add section is disappeared :-((

There is no problem with Add SDK, i have tested it without scroll bar. I strongly feel it’s XML level position adjustment.
Please Help.

Following is my activity XML


<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
        android:fillViewport="true">

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/footer2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"            
            android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:paddingLeft="1dp"
            android:paddingRight="1dp" >

            <ImageButton
                android:id="@+id/ImageButton1"/>
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/TextView1"/>
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/Button1"/>

			<ImageButton
                android:id="@+id/ImageButton1"/>
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/TextView1"/>
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/Button1"/>
			.

        </RelativeLayout>
        
    </ScrollView>

    <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@android:drawable/bottom_bar"
            android:gravity="center_vertical">
			
    <!-- Add shit will go here-->

    <com.startapp.android.publish.banner.Banner
        android:id="@+id/startAppBanner"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
		
    </LinearLayout>
    		
</LinearLayout>


LinearLayout View below the Scroll view works fine as long as Scroll content is limited to screen size/one page.
But LinearLayout View disappears as Scroll content exceeds the screen size and starts scrolling.

Please help me in this.

@gcc, startapp told me to use relativelayout instead of linearlayout but I never tried it again.

@javaexp, Thanks for your prompt reply.

Well, i did some usefull search on google and got the solution.
Here i am posting it for others(in case if it is helpfull)

When using linear layouts with multiple children views and having layout problems then use weightsums. These are very useful.

Give your linear layout a weightsum of 10 //the layout is divided into 10 sections, weightsum of 100 = 100 sections

Then give each child view in the layout a weight where all the children’s weights added up equal to 10. i.e. a child’s weight=4 will take up %40 of the linear layout

Then always give the children a layout_width=0dp if your linear layout is horizontal, or layout_height=0dp if vertical //I forget this all the time, very important

Hope this helps
