Scrollview in android app won't scroll

Question

I have a ScrollView, and I've made sure that it only has one child, and that it's set to match_parent like in previous posts, but I still can't get it to scroll. Can anyone help me out?

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scrollbars="none">
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical" >


        <fragment
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight=".8"
            tools:context="com.thevisitapp.visitapp.PlacesActivity"
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
            android:id="@+id/map" />


        <RelativeLayout

Change the outermost LinearLayout's layout_height to wrap_content. — Mike M.

The scrollview only scrolls if its height is bigger than the parent height. Is that the case in your layout? — daemmie

Oh, I bet it doesn't like your nested MapFragment. See if it'll scroll if you remove that temporarily. — Mike M.

1.Use wrap content in sub views.

2.Try to add a parent view (Linear or relative) and then add a child scroll view .This gives you more control over the entire view

I made edited my code so that it is wrapped by a RelativeLayout and added nothing besides that. However, it still doesn't work. I also tried changing all the subviews to wrap_content

The fragment that u r using might be consuming the scroll gesture try commenting it and test.

That did it. So I'm guessing my temporary solution will be to just make the content underneath the fragment scrollable.

LinearLayout should be wrap_content instead of match_parent.
