Android ScrollView not scrolling at all

Question

Below is my XML code, I want the whole view to scroll, but it's just not working, please help, with what's wrong;

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<LinearLayout
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/app_icon"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"/>

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView_app_version"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center"/>

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
    android:layout_height="386dp"
    android:gravity="center"></TextView>

</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

I've tried using, android:fillViewport="true"

but of no help.

Your xml is correct it would automatically scroll when there are more components like edittext or imageviews — Pankaj

but, my textview has lengthy content, which doesn't fit into screen, in that case it should scroll, right? — pratiti-systematix

make your scrollview layout_width and layout_height as fill_parent — Pankaj

A ScrollView is a FrameLayout, meaning you should place one child in it containing the entire contents to scroll; this child may itself be a layout manager with a complex hierarchy of objects.

So here you have to take LinearLayout or RelativeLayout and then you have to put different hierarchy of component.

Android : buttons not visible in scrollview

here i have given answer of Some problem so you can follow this for solve your problem with clearing your concept.

If ScrollView fits to your device screen it would not be scrollable, so make sure content inside ScrollView takes space larger than your screen size.
