Solution

  • I had the same issue and finally figured it out. This is for a vertical ScrollView.

    Put your ScrollView inside a RelativeLayout and center it in the RelativeLayout. In order for this to work, your ScrollView should have

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    

    This is how the final code should look like:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    
        <ScrollView
            android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
            android:layout_centerVertical="true" >
    
            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="vertical">
    
                <Button
                    android:id="@+id/button1"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="b1"/>
                <Button
                    android:id="@+id/button2"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="b2"/>
                <Button
                    android:id="@+id/button3"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="b3"/>
            </LinearLayout>
    
        </ScrollView>
    
    </RelativeLayout>
