Here is an example:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- PLACE HERE YOUR SCROLLABLE CONTENT -->
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/checkBox1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="CheckBox" />
<RadioButton
android:id="@+id/radioButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="RadioButton" />
<!-- END OF SCROLLABLE CONTENT -->
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="I'm a button"
/>
</LinearLayout>

the android:layout_weight="1" in the HorizontalScrollView pushes the button to the right edge all the time even if there isnt any content...

No not really... when the content of the scrollview isnt taking the whole screen width I want the button to be at the scrollviews edge. but as soon as the scrollview has so much content that the button will be pushed outside the screen I want that the button will stay at the screens right edge so its always visible like the add tab button in google chrome. if I have one tab the button is right beside that tab but if I have so many that the button will bi pushed outside the screen, it stays at the edge instead. but I want my content to be scrollable instead of making the tabs smaller
do you understand?

Oh, I understand. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. ScrollView has some strange behavior.
