Trying to get textView to stick to gridView scroll?

Achieving this is is not going to be trivial. What you need is ListView's capability to add a header view, but unfortunately, GridView doesn't offer that functionality.

Put the whole LinearLayout in a ScrollView (How to use ScrollView in Android?) and for the GridView set android:layout_height="wrap_content.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
