In my simulation of the prototype of my android app the scroll view (linear layout) is not scrolling

Question

In my android app I have a linear layout within a scroll view but when I open the app in the emulator I can't scroll the scroll view.

I don't know if this could be the solution but I'm not working with a mouse but only with my touchpad and when I try the 2 finger scroll the emulator acts like if I was pressing the button. I have tried to put the fillViewport function in it but it is still not working.

        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

The app build is working just fine but the scroll is the only thing not working.

Answer 1

Ok, I actually figured it out myself quit quickly. Seems like I have asked this a lot to early without really thinking about it. Though the solution might help other people:

I just put everything in another LinearLayout. That fixed the problem. Now only the bottom part is scrolling leaving the upper part untouched which is exactly what I wanted.
