Here is some code for a fixed header and fixed footer and a scrolling body:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout  
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content">
<TextView
  android:text="Header"
  android:id="@+id/textViewHeader"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</TextView>
<TextView
  android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
  android:text="Footer"
  android:id="@+id/textViewFooter"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</TextView>
<ScrollView
  android:layout_above="@id/textViewFooter"
  android:layout_below="@id/textViewHeader"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  >
<LinearLayout
