ScrollView not scrolling at all


I can't make a ScrollView properly scrolling. It always cut off the content on the bottom, as if it were a normal LinearLayout.

My code

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fillViewport="true" >

    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/scroll_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:isScrollContainer="true"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

Of course, I already tried to add / remove the "fillViewport" and "isScrollContainer" properties, and it did not change anything at all.

This is for ScrollView (VERTICAL ONLY)

HorizontalScrollView must be used for horizontal scrolling.


Solution

  • Answer: the ScrollView is not working when used as the root element of an XML layout. It has to be wrapped inside a LinearLayout.

    Solution then :

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >
    
        <ScrollView android:id="@+id/scroll_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:fillViewport="true" >
    
            <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/scroll_layout"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="vertical" >
    
            </LinearLayout>
        </ScrollView>
    </LinearLayout>
