Add buttons above scroll (I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks! ) - button

Question

ON SUNDAY I ACTUALLY SIDE-LOADED MY FIRST APP!!! Simple, unfinished, couple bugs, but it works.
My opening screen (XML: "event_list.xml") is a scroll list - select one get detail screen.
XML looks like: (This code is still a fragment.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:name="com.dummies.android.taskreminder.EventListFragment"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
And the row (XML "event_row.xml") looks like:
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/text1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:textSize="12dp"
android:padding="2dip" />
I want a couple buttons at the top above the scroll. The best I can do is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:name="com.dummies.android.taskreminder.EventListFragment"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_Add"
android:text="#string/add"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</fragment>
But the button overlays the first entry!
What ties the row to the list screen and how do I get two buttons above the scroll (rows)?

This is what finally worked.
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button android:id="#+id/btn_Add"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:textSize="12dp"
android:padding="1dip"
android:text="#string/add" />
<Button android:id="#+id/btn_Exit"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:textSize="12dp"
android:padding="1dip"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/btn_Add"
android:text="#string/exit" />
<Button android:id="#+id/btn_Other"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:textSize="12dp"
android:padding="1dip"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/btn_Exit"
android:text="#string/other" />
<fragment
android:name="com.dummies.android.taskreminder.EventListFragment"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/btn_Add" />
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/text1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:textSize="12dp"
android:padding="2dip" />
<!-- This defines a row in which text can be placed -->
<!-- "text1" is the IDof the view for loading the list with data -->
Now just need to make the button code copied from detail screen (activity only) work in list screen (w/ fragment):
This generates errors: (findViewById undefined)
mExitButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_Exit);
This crashed:
mExitButton = (Button)getView().findViewById(R.id.btn_Exit);
Still working in this (it's late):
View myFragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.????????, container, false);
