Android list view inside a scroll view

Question

I have an android layout which has a scrollView with a number of elements with in it  At the bottom of the scrollView I have a listView which is then populated by an adapter   The problem that I am experiencing  is that android is excluding the listView from the scrollView as the scrollView already has a scroll-able function   I want the listView to be as long as the content is and for the master scroll view to be scroll-able   How can I achieve this behavior   Here is my main layout    lt ScrollView     android id    id scrollView1      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  0dp      android layout weight  2      android fillViewport  true      android gravity  top   gt        lt LinearLayout         android id    id foodItemActvity linearLayout fragments          android layout width  match parent          android layout height  wrap content          android orientation  vertical   gt       lt  LinearLayout gt    lt  ScrollView gt    I then programmatically add my components to the linearlayour with the id  foodItemActvity linearLayout fragments   Below is one of the views that is loaded into that linearlayout  This is the one giving me trouble with the scrolls    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt LinearLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android orientation  vertical   gt        lt TextView        android id    id fragment dds review textView label         android layout width  wrap content         android layout height  wrap content         android text  Reviews          android textAppearance   android attr textAppearanceMedium    gt       lt ListView        android id    id fragment dds review listView         android layout width  match parent         android layout height  wrap content  gt      lt  ListView gt   lt  LinearLayout gt    My adapter then fills up this list view   Here is an image from the android hierarchy viewer when I click on the master scrollView     As you can see  it is excluding the reviews listView   I should be able to scroll the page down and see 8 reviews  but instead it only shows me those 3  and I can scroll on the tiny part where the reviews are  I want a global page scroll

Do NEVER put a ListView inside of a ScrollView  You can find more information about that topic on Google  In your case  use a LinearLayout instead of the ListView and add the elements programmatically

I had a similar problem to the issue posed by the Original Poster - how to make the listview scroll inside the scrollview - and this answer solved my problem  Disable scrolling of a ListView contained within a ScrollView  I didn t call new fragments into existing layouts or anything like that  like the OP was doing  so my code would look something like this     lt ScrollView     android id    id scrollView1      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  0dp      android layout weight  2      android fillViewport  true      android gravity  top   gt     lt LinearLayout         android id    id foodItemActvity linearLayout fragments          android layout width  match parent          android layout height  wrap content          android orientation  vertical   gt         lt TextView        android id    id fragment dds review textView label         android layout width  wrap content         android layout height  wrap content         android text  Reviews          android textAppearance   android attr textAppearanceMedium    gt       lt ListView        android id    id my listView         android layout width  match parent         android layout height  wrap content  gt      lt  ListView gt    lt  LinearLayout gt    lt  ScrollView gt    Basically what I am doing is checking the length of the listview before I call it and when I call it I make it into that length  In your java class use this function   public static void justifyListViewHeightBasedOnChildren  ListView listView         ListAdapter adapter   listView getAdapter         if  adapter    null            return            ViewGroup vg   listView      int totalHeight   0      for  int i   0  i  lt  adapter getCount    i              View listItem   adapter getView i  null  vg           listItem measure 0  0           totalHeight    listItem getMeasuredHeight               ViewGroup LayoutParams par   listView getLayoutParams        par height   totalHeight    listView getDividerHeight      adapter getCount   - 1        listView setLayoutParams par       listView requestLayout        And call the function like this   justifyListViewHeightBasedOnChildren listView     The result is a listview with no scrollbar  the whole length of the listview being displayed  that scrolls with the scroll bar of the scrollview

Best solution is add this android nestedScrollingEnabled  true  attribute in child scrolling for example i have inserted this attribute in my ListView that is child of ScrollView  i hope this mathod works for you  -   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt ScrollView     xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      xmlns tools  http   schemas android com tools      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent  gt       lt LinearLayout         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  wrap content          android orientation  vertical          android gravity  center horizontal  gt           lt TextView             android layout width  match parent              android layout height  wrap content              android gravity  center              android text  TextView   gt           lt ListView             android nestedScrollingEnabled  true    add this only             android id    id listView              android layout width  match parent              android layout height  300dp   gt       lt  LinearLayout gt   lt  ScrollView gt

As others had already mentioned  don t use ListView inside a ScrollView   To workaround  you can use a LinearLayout  but to still keep things neat - populate your LinearLayout with an Adapter  same as you do with a ListView  You can use this class as a LinearLayout replacement that supports Adapters  import android content Context  import android database DataSetObserver  import android util AttributeSet  import android view View  import android view ViewGroup  import android widget BaseAdapter  import android widget LinearLayout   public class AdaptableLinearLayout extends LinearLayout    private BaseAdapter mAdapter   private int mItemCount   0   private boolean mDisableChildrenWhenDisabled   false   private int mWidthMeasureSpec  private int mHeightMeasureSpec    public AdaptableLinearLayout Context context  AttributeSet attrs        super context  attrs          TODO Auto-generated constructor stub    public BaseAdapter getAdapter         return mAdapter     public void setAdapter BaseAdapter adapter        mAdapter   adapter      adapter registerDataSetObserver new DataSetObserver              Override         public void onChanged                 updateLayout                super onChanged                        Override         public void onInvalidated                 updateLayout                super onInvalidated                          updateLayout       private void updateLayout         mItemCount   mAdapter getCount        requestLayout        invalidate              set size for the current View      Override protected void onMeasure int widthMeasureSpec  int heightMeasureSpec        super onMeasure widthMeasureSpec  heightMeasureSpec       mWidthMeasureSpec   widthMeasureSpec      mHeightMeasureSpec   heightMeasureSpec       removeAllViewsInLayout        for  int i   0  i  lt  mItemCount  i              makeAndAddView i            private View makeAndAddView int position        View child          Nothing found in the recycler -- ask the adapter for a view     child   mAdapter getView position  null  this           Position the view     setUpChild child  position        return child      private void setUpChild View child  int position         ViewGroup LayoutParams lp   child getLayoutParams        if  lp    null            lp   generateDefaultLayoutParams              addViewInLayout child  position  lp           Get measure specs     int childHeightSpec   ViewGroup getChildMeasureSpec mHeightMeasureSpec  getPaddingTop     getPaddingBottom    lp height       int childWidthSpec   ViewGroup getChildMeasureSpec mWidthMeasureSpec  getPaddingLeft     getPaddingRight    lp width           Measure child     child measure childWidthSpec  childHeightSpec        int childLeft      int childRight          Position vertically based on gravity setting     int childTop   getPaddingTop       getMeasuredHeight   - getPaddingBottom   - getPaddingTop   - child getMeasuredHeight      2       int childBottom   childTop   child getMeasuredHeight         int width   child getMeasuredWidth        childLeft   0      childRight   childLeft   width       child layout childLeft  childTop  childRight  childBottom        if  mDisableChildrenWhenDisabled            child setEnabled isEnabled

The shortest  amp  easiest solution for any ChildView to scroll inside a ScrollView  Anything like ListView  RecyclerView  etc  You do not have to do anything special in code  Just replace ScrollView with androidx core widget NestedScrollView in your current xml and then magic happens  Below is a sample xml code    lt  xml version  quot 1 0 quot  encoding  quot utf-8 quot   gt   lt androidx core widget NestedScrollView     xmlns android  quot http   schemas android com apk res android quot      xmlns app  quot http   schemas android com apk res-auto quot      android layout width  quot match parent quot      android layout height  quot match parent quot  gt        lt androidx appcompat widget LinearLayoutCompat         android layout width  quot match parent quot          android layout height  quot wrap content quot          android orientation  quot vertical quot          android padding  quot 16dp quot          android paddingBottom  quot 20dp quot  gt            lt TextView             android layout width  quot match parent quot              android layout height  quot wrap content quot              android text  quot Recycler View inside a Scroll View quot              android textColor  quot  color black quot              android textSize  quot  dimen  20sp quot              android textStyle  quot bold quot    gt            lt TextView             android layout width  quot match parent quot              android layout height  quot wrap content quot              android layout marginTop  quot 8dp quot              android text  quot Below is a Recycler View as an example  quot              android textSize  quot 16sp quot    gt            lt androidx recyclerview widget RecyclerView             android id  quot   id recycler view quot              android layout width  quot match parent quot              android layout height  quot wrap content quot              android layout marginTop  quot 8dp quot              app layout constraintTop toBottomOf  quot  id et damaged qty quot    gt            lt TextView             android layout width  quot match parent quot              android layout height  quot wrap content quot              android layout marginTop  quot 8dp quot              android text  quot This textview automatically goes below the Recycler View  quot              android textSize  quot 16sp quot    gt       lt  androidx appcompat widget LinearLayoutCompat gt   lt  androidx core widget NestedScrollView gt   Now you can get rid of all the ugly hacks we did to get around this nested scrolling

This code will solve your problem if you have implemented just  a ListView in a code   If you are using RelativeLayout as ListView child than this code return a NullPointerException here listItem measure 0  0    because of RelativeLayout And the solution is put your Relativelayout inside a LinearLayout and it will work fine   public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren ListView listView        ListAdapter listAdapter   listView getAdapter         if  listAdapter    null               pre-condition         return             int totalHeight   0      for  int i   0  i  lt  listAdapter getCount    i              View listItem   listAdapter getView i  null  listView           listItem measure 0  0           totalHeight    listItem getMeasuredHeight               ViewGroup LayoutParams params   listView getLayoutParams        params height   totalHeight    listView getDividerHeight      listAdapter getCount   - 1        listView setLayoutParams params       listView requestLayout

I know it s been so long but I got this problem too  tried this solution and it s working  So I guess it may help the others too   I add android fillViewport  true  on the layout xml for the scrollView  So overall my ScrollView will be like this    lt ScrollView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      android id    id scrollView6       android fillViewport  true  gt    And it works like magic to me   the ListView that located inside my ScrollView expand to its size again   Here is the full example code for the ScrollView and the ListView    lt ScrollView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      android id    id scrollView6  android fillViewport  true  gt       lt LinearLayout         android orientation  vertical          android layout width  match parent          android layout height  match parent  gt                        lt ListView             android layout width  match parent              android layout height  match parent              android id    id lv transList  android layout gravity  top              android layout marginTop  5dp   gt                    lt  LinearLayout gt   lt  ScrollView gt

The answer is simple and I am surprised it has yet to be answered here  Use a Header View or and Footer View on the list itself  Don t mix a ScrollView with a ListView or anything that can scroll  It s meant to be used with headers and footers    Essentially  take all the content above your ListView  put it in another  xml file as a layout and then in code inflate it and add it to the list as a header view  i e  View header   getLayoutInflater   inflate R layout header  null   View footer   getLayoutInflater   inflate R layout footer  null   listView addHeaderView header   listView addFooterView footer

You can easy put ListView in ScrollView  Just need to change height of ListView programmatically  like this       ViewGroup LayoutParams listViewParams    ViewGroup LayoutParams listView getLayoutParams        listViewParams height   400      listView requestLayout      This works perfectly

Ok  here  s my answer  The method that fixes the ListView height is closed enough  but not perfect  In case that most of the items are the same height  that work well  But in case that s not  then there s a big problem  I ve tried many time  and when I put out the value of listItem getMeasureHeight and listItem getMeasuerWidth into the log  I saw the width values vary a lot  which is not expected here  since all the item in the same ListView should have the same width  And there go the bug     Some used measure 0  0   which actually made the view unbound  in both direction  and width run wild  Some tried to getWidth of listView  but then it return 0  meaningless    When I read further into how android render the View  I realize that all of this attempt can t reach the answer that I searched for  unless these function run after the view is render    This time I use the getViewTreeObserver on the ListView that I want to fix height  then addOnGlobalLayoutListener  Inside this method  I declare a new OnGlobalLayoutListener  in which  this time  getWidth return the actual width of the ListView    private void getLayoutWidth final ListView lv  final int pad             final ArrayList lt Integer gt  width   new ArrayList lt Integer gt              ViewTreeObserver vto   lv getViewTreeObserver            vto addOnGlobalLayoutListener new ViewTreeObserver OnGlobalLayoutListener                  Override             public void onGlobalLayout                     lv getViewTreeObserver   removeOnGlobalLayoutListener this                     width add layout getMeasuredWidth                     int width   lv getMeasuredWidth                    ListUtils setDynamicHeight lv  width  pad                                    public static class ListUtils             private static final int UNBOUNDED   View MeasureSpec makeMeasureSpec 0  View MeasureSpec UNSPECIFIED           public static void setDynamicHeight ListView mListView  int width  int pad                ListAdapter mListAdapter   mListView getAdapter                mListView getParent                if  mListAdapter    null                       when adapter is null                 return                            int height   0                int desiredWidth   View MeasureSpec makeMeasureSpec width - 2 pad  View MeasureSpec EXACTLY               for  int i   0  i  lt  mListAdapter getCount    i                      View listItem   mListAdapter getView i  null  mListView                    listItem measure desiredWidth  View MeasureSpec UNSPECIFIED                     listItem measure UNBOUNDED  UNBOUNDED                   height    listItem getMeasuredHeight     2 pad                  Log v  ViewHeight     mListAdapter getClass   toString           listItem getMeasuredHeight      --    listItem getMeasuredWidth                               ViewGroup LayoutParams params   mListView getLayoutParams                params height   height    mListView getDividerHeight      mListAdapter getCount   - 1                mListView setLayoutParams params               mListView requestLayout                      The value pad  is the padding that I set in ListView layout

My requirement is to include a ListView of equally-sized items within a ScrollView  I tried a few of the other solutions listed here  none seemed to size the ListView correctly  either too little space or too much    Here s what worked for me       public static void expandListViewHeight ListView listView        ListAdapter listAdapter   listView getAdapter        if  listAdapter    null          return       ViewGroup LayoutParams params   listView getLayoutParams        listView measure 0  0       params height   listView getMeasuredHeight     listAdapter getCount      listView getDividerHeight      listAdapter getCount   - 1        listView setLayoutParams params       Hope this helps someone

Just set the value of required height in a listview height attribute inside a parent scrollview  It will scroll along with other parents child item

It is not possible to use Scroll-view inside List-view as List-view already has scrolling property  To use list-view inside Scroll-view you can follow these steps which worked for me    1  Create NonScrollListView java file that disable the default scrolling property of list-view  and code is below  package your-package-structure   import android content Context  import android util AttributeSet  import android view ViewGroup  import android widget ListView   public class NonScrollListView extends ListView      public NonScrollListView Context context          super context         public NonScrollListView Context context  AttributeSet attrs          super context  attrs         public NonScrollListView Context context  AttributeSet attrs  int defStyle          super context  attrs  defStyle          Override   public void onMeasure int widthMeasureSpec  int heightMeasureSpec        int heightMeasureSpec custom   MeasureSpec makeMeasureSpec              Integer MAX VALUE  gt  gt  2  MeasureSpec AT MOST       super onMeasure widthMeasureSpec  heightMeasureSpec custom       ViewGroup LayoutParams params   getLayoutParams        params height   getMeasuredHeight            2  Now create xml file which which has NestedScrollView and inside this use NonScrollListView for listing your items  This will make your entire screen to scroll with all the views

If for some reason you don t want to use addHeaderView and addFooterView  e g  when you have several lists  a good idea would be to reuse ListAdapter to populate a simple LinearLayout so there s no scrolling functionality   If you already have a whole fragment derived from ListFragment and want to convert it to a similar fragment with simple LinearLayout without scrolling instead  e g  to put it in ScrollView   you can implement an adapter fragment like this      converts listFragment to linearLayout  no scrolling     please call init   after fragment is inflated to set listFragment to convert public class ListAsArrayFragment extends Fragment       public ListAsArrayFragment           private ListFragment mListFragment      private LinearLayout mRootView           please call me      public void init Activity activity  ListFragment listFragment           mListFragment   listFragment          mListFragment onAttach activity           mListFragment getListAdapter   registerDataSetObserver new DataSetObserver                  Override             public void onChanged                     super onChanged                    refreshView                                           Nullable      Override     public View onCreateView LayoutInflater inflater  ViewGroup container  Bundle savedInstanceState               create an empty vertical LinearLayout as the root view of this fragment         mRootView   new LinearLayout getActivity             mRootView setLayoutParams new ViewGroup LayoutParams ViewGroup LayoutParams MATCH PARENT  ViewGroup LayoutParams MATCH PARENT            mRootView setOrientation LinearLayout VERTICAL           return mRootView                reusing views for performance        todo  support for more than one view type     ArrayList lt View gt  mViewsToReuse   new ArrayList lt  gt         ArrayList lt View gt  mCurrentViews   new ArrayList lt  gt             re-add views to linearLayout     void refreshView                remove old views from linearLayout and move them to mViewsToReuse         mRootView removeAllViews            mViewsToReuse addAll mCurrentViews           mCurrentViews clear                create new views         for int i 0  i lt mListFragment getListAdapter   getCount      i               View viewToReuse   null              if  mViewsToReuse isEmpty                     viewToReuse   mViewsToReuse get mViewsToReuse size  -1                   mViewsToReuse remove mViewsToReuse size  -1                             final View view   mListFragment getListAdapter   getView i  viewToReuse  mRootView               ViewGroup LayoutParams oldParams   view getLayoutParams                view setLayoutParams new LinearLayout LayoutParams oldParams width  oldParams height                final int finalI   i                  pass click events to listFragment             view setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener                      Override                 public void onClick View v                        mListFragment onListItemClick null  view  finalI  finalI                                                 mRootView addView view               mCurrentViews add view                     You may also want to forward onCreate  onPause  onResume  etc  to the original fragment depending on your needs or try inheritance instead of composition  but override certain methods so original fragment is not actually attached to layout hierarchy   but I wanted to isolate original fragment as much as possible  because we only need to extract its ListAdapter  If you call original fragment s setListAdapter in onAttach  that s probably enough   Here s how to use ListAsArrayFragment to include OriginalListFragment without scrolling  In parent activity s onCreate   ListAsArrayFragment fragment    ListAsArrayFragment  getFragmentManager   findFragmentById R id someFragmentId   OriginalListFragment originalFragment   new OriginalListFragment    fragment init this  originalFragment       now access originalFragment getListAdapter   to modify list entries    and remember to call notifyDatasetChanged

You should never use a ScrollView with a ListView  because ListView takes care of its own vertical scrolling  Most importantly  doing this defeats all of the important optimizations in ListView for dealing with large lists  since it effectively forces the ListView to display its entire list of items to fill up the infinite container supplied by ScrollView   http   developer android com reference android widget ScrollView html

Don t do anything in Parent ScrollView  Only do this to child ListView  Everything will work perfectly     mListView setOnTouchListener new View OnTouchListener                  Override             public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event                    mScrollView requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent true                  int action   event getActionMasked                    switch  action                        case MotionEvent ACTION UP                          mScrollView requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent false                           break                                    return false

I ll leave it here in case anyone will face the same issue  I had to put a ListView inside a ScrollView  ListView with header was not an option by a number of reasons  Neither was an option to use LinearLayout instead of ListView  So I followed the accepted solution  but it didn t work because items in the list had complex layout with multiple rows and each listview item was of variable height  Height was measured not properly  The solution was to measure each item inside ListView Adapter s getView   method    Override public View getView int position  View view  ViewGroup parent        ViewHolder holder      if  view    null                          view setTag holder         else holder    ViewHolder view getTag                      measure ListView item  to solve  ListView inside ScrollView  problem      view measure View MeasureSpec makeMeasureSpec                      View MeasureSpec UNSPECIFIED  View MeasureSpec UNSPECIFIED               View MeasureSpec makeMeasureSpec 0  View MeasureSpec UNSPECIFIED        return view
