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.
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>
❌Tried all the above mentioned answers, but still my issue was unsolved. And after some debugging and changes, my issue got fixed that is the ScrollView is getting scrolled.
- We need not to add any parent element to the ScrollView to make it scroll (as mentioned in some of the other answers here).
✔️The Fix was for my issue✔️
-
changed the height of the ScrollView to 0dp
android:layout_height="0dp"
-
Constrained the Top and Bottom to parent/respective views/elements
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView4" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
The final xml looks like this
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView4"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Loong content -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Scroll View as Parent has no issues. I faced such issue when we add padding/margin to the direct child of scrollview. Keep the child of scrollview with just height and width properties, den it will work fine.
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
The selected answer IS NOT CORRECT!
You CAN use ScrollView as the root view, it doesnt work for you because you are missing the padding.
Add something like:
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
