I have multiple LinearLayouts with a combined height that easily exceeds a device's screen height. So in order to make my layout scrollable, I tried adding in a ScrollView, but unfortunately I get the following error:
Scrollview can host only one direct child
I did some research, but couldn't really make sense of how to solve it, even after reading a couple of solutions. I tried a few changes, but nothing worked for me so far. Any help?
