scroll view doesnt scroll as expected

Question

In my xml layout I have 2 separate layouts in the same file, a grid of pictures and then a full screen image view. The issue is that the grid of pictures scrolls down to the bottom but not all the way to the top, the pictures are cut off. I am not sure why this would happen, here is my xml file:

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="#000">

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/full_image"
        android:visibility="gone"
        android:background="#00000000">

    <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Return"
            android:id="@+id/button1"
            android:background="#fff"
            android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
            android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"/>

    <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/TitleText3"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:textColor="#fff"
            android:textIsSelectable="false"
            android:layout_marginBottom="-50dp"
            />

    <ImageView

you use fill_parent for the scrollview dimensions. is there a specific reason for that? I tend to use match_parent or wrap_content and I don't have that problem. — Michael Yaworski

You seem to be missing a LinearLayout tag at the end.

You start the file with a parent LinearLayout declaration, and never have an ending </LinearLayout> tag to match it.

Try adding </LinearLayout> to the very end, right after </ScrollView>.

I checked my layout and it was there, it must not have copied over when i put the code on here. wouldn't the intelij tell me that was the error if that was?

Try changing your ScrollView's width and height to wrap_content. Also do the same for the first LinearLayout within your ScrollView.

Have you considered creating a new layout with just the parent LinearLayout and begin adding in sections (or blocks) of the current layout in, to see what works, and then when it stops working?
