**Question** If I have the following:

```
<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="?" android:orientation="vertical">
        <EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="?" android:hint="Subject" android:id="@+id/subject" />
        <EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="?" android:id="@+id/body" />
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

```

How can I get the body (second EditText) to fill the rest of the screen, but still have the scrollview kick in when the contents of the body are too long? Like a `height="wrap_content"` and `minHeight="fill_parent"`

`layout_height="fill_parent"` seems to not do anything if you put them in a scrollview

**A working example of what I want is the email app compose window**

**I tried this** and the EditText elements act like they are wrap\_content and no filling is happening. Just scrolling if you type enough

```
<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical">
        <EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" layout_weight="1" android:hint="Subject" android:id="@+id/subject" />
        <EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" layout_weight="1" android:id="@+id/body" />
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

```
