Not getting scroll bar when rotating the screen

Question

Hi Guys I have two problems:

1. when rotating the screen (to landscape) I am missing my controls.
2. I have back and next buttons. I want to position them at the very end of my activity. how to do that?

My code :

<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"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".TeamActivity" >

   <LinearLayout

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Answer 1

Surround the entire top-level

<LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

in a

<ScrollView>
    (Your <LinearLayout></LinearLayout> goes here)
</ScrollView>

But you could also consider a res/layout-land/mylayout.xml (matching res/layout/mylayout.xml) to use a different layout in landscape view that perhaps avoids the need to scroll.
