I'm trying to show admob adview at the bottom of the screen but it doesn't work. It shows ad below the text if the text is short (doesn't need to scroll) , but if the text is long (need to scroll) the adview doesn't show at all. I want to show the adview at the bottom of my screen no matter how long or short the text is. I have been at this for hours but couldn't figure out to make it work.
Here is my Activity.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Add one new attributes android:layout_weight="1" and Modify height of scroll view as below.
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
So final attributes set of scrollview looks like,
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
