Relative layout on the bottom hides the layout in the middle for the equivalent height at the bottom . My XML is as below:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/header"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dip"
    android:background="@drawable/activity_header_background">

        <TextView 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="17dip"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_centerHo开发者_JS百科rizontal="true"
        android:text="@string/help_faq_menu">
        </TextView>
    </RelativeLayout>

    <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/body"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_below="@+id/faq_header">

        <WebView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

        <ProgressBar
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyle"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
        android:visibility="gone">
        </ProgressBar>
    </FrameLayout>

    <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/footer"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dip"
    android:background="@drawable/activity_footer_background"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">

        <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:background="@drawable/button_drawable_shape"
        android:text="@string/done">
        </Button>

        <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:background="@drawable/button_drawable_shape"
        android:text="@string/contact_support">
        </Button>

        <ImageButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/refresh"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:background="@null">
        </ImageButton>  
    </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

android:layout_below="@+id/body" give in footer Relativelayout

android:layout_above="@+id/footer" in body layout

and body is in framelayout, why dont you use relativelayout instead and fix the height how much you want.
