Troubleshooting Scrollview Scrolling Issue in Android Studio


I am encountering an issue with the layout of an activity, where the content is not scrolling as intended. Currently, I have a Scrollview implemented within a ConstraintLayout, with a LinearLayout nested inside it. Despite attempting several approaches to resolve this problem, I have been unsuccessful in achieving the desired scrolling behavior.

At this point, I am seeking guidance and assistance in identifying a suitable solution for this issue. I have also experimented with placing the Scrollview within a LinearLayout, but unfortunately, this alternative approach did not yield the desired results either.

I would greatly appreciate any insights, recommendations, or assistance that can be provided to help address this matter effectively. Thank you for your attention and support!

Solution

  • It is because scroller is as big as its child, the LinearLayout. Therefore, there is no need for the scroller to scroll. Try giving your scroller a definite height i.e. 500dp. Finally, the LinearLayout should be:

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/lly"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ...
