I'm trying to create a form very similar to the "Create event" screen of the native Calendar app on Android 2.x
Basically it has a fixed header, fixed footer and the middle is (I guess) a ScrollView
with different "questions" such as "Event", "From", "To", "Location" etc...
I've tried a few options but I can't find the right layout that doesn't involve calculating the height of the screen
Any help would be very much appreciated!

I use a RelativeLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/status_header"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:paddingTop="8px"
android:paddingBottom="8px"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="@color/header_foreground"
android:background="@color/header_background"
android:text="@string/status_header"/>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/statuspanel"
android:layout_above="@+id/status_footer">
Put all your middle bits here, maybe in a TableLayout
</ScrollView>
<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/status_footer"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:paddingTop="4px"
android:paddingLeft="2px"
android:paddingRight="2px"
android:stretchColumns="*"
android:textColor="@color/footer_foreground"
android:background="@color/footer_background">
<TableRow>
<Button
android:id="@+id/status_backbutton"
android:layout_width="0px"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/status_backbutton" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
You'll have to excuse all my colour bits, but you get the idea. It's using alignParent elements in a RelativeLayout which is key, I think
