Is it possible to put a ConstraintLayout inside a ScrollView?

So recently, with Android Studio 2.2 there's a new ConstraintLayout that makes designing a lot easier, but unlike RelativeLayout and Linearlayout, I can't use a ScrollView to surround ConstraintLayout. Is this possible? If so, how?

i.e.

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp">
        
        <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
            android:id="@+id/constraintLayout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
            tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp">
            
            <!-- Have whatever children you want inside -->
            
        </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
        
</ScrollView>

Try adding android:fillViewport="true" to the ScrollView.

Found the solution here: LinearLayout not expanding inside a ScrollView


There was a bug with ConstraintLayout inside ScrollViews and it has been fixed. google has fixed the bug in Android Studio 2.2 Preview 2 (constraintlayout 1.0.0-alpha2).

Check this link for new update (Preview 2): works properly inside ScrollView and RecycleView

Solution 1:

The solution was to use android:fillViewport="true" on the ScrollView

Solution 2:

Use NestedScrollView instead of ScrollView with android:fillViewport="true"

Edit - 09/16/20:

Currently, it is more usual to use the ScrollView with the ConstraintLayout height set to wrap_content, it works very well, don't forget the fillViewPort and that both Scroll and Nested support only one direct child.


use NestedScrollView with viewport true is working good for me

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fillViewport="true">

        <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="700dp">

        </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
