Android layout problem

I'm trying to create a simple layout but can't find a propper way to do it. Layout should have 3 elements: TextView on top, EditText (with scrollview) in the middle and button on bottom. I made this code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:weightSum="1"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent">

  <LinearLayout android:layout_weight="0.97"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:id="@+id/linearLayout18"
  android:orientation="vertical">
    <TextView  
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"         
        android:text="Text:"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"/>

    <ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <EditText 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/txtMessage"
        android:text=""/>

    </ScrollView>
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
    android:layout_weight="0.03"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
    android:orientation="vertical">
        <Button 
        android:text="Next"
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />       
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

But it gives me layout like this: Layout As you can see the problem is that EditText won't take all available vertical space (all the way to button). How to solve this?

Just use android:fillViewport="true" in your ScrollView
