You shouldn t put a ListView inside a ScrollView because the ListView class implements its own scrolling and it just doesn t receive gestures because they all are handled by the parent ScrollView

Putting ListView inside a ScrollView is never inspired  But if you want your posted XML-like behavior  there re 3 options to me    Remove ScrollView  Removing your ScrollView  you may give the ListViews some specific size with respect to the total layout  either specific dp or layout weight   Replace ListViews with LinearLayouts  You may add the list-items by iterating through the item-list and add each item-view to the respective LinearLayout by inflating the view  amp  setting the respective data  string  image etc   If you really need to put your ListViews inside the ScrollView  you must make your ListViews non-scrollable  Which is practically the same as the solution 2 above  but with ListView codes   otherwise the layout won t function as you expect   To make a ListView non-scrollable  you may read this SO post  where the precise solution to me is like the one below     x000D   x000D  listView setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener     x000D    public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event    x000D      return  event getAction      MotionEvent ACTION MOVE   x000D      x000D      x000D   x000D   x000D

I know this question is 4-5 years old  but still  this might be useful   Sometimes  if you have only a few elements that  exit the screen   the list might not scroll  That s because the operating system doesn t view it as actually exceeding the screen   I m saying this because I ran into this problem today - I only had 2 or 3 elements that were exceeding the screen limits  and my list wasn t scrollable  And it was a real mystery  As soon as I added a few more  it started to scroll   So you have to make sure it s not a design problem at first  like the list appearing to go beyond the borders of the screen but in reality   it doesn t   and adjust its dimensions and margin values and see if it s starting to  become scrollable   It did  for me

Practically its not good to do  But if you want to do like this  just make listview s height fixed to wrap content   android layout height  wrap content

By default ListView is scrollable  Do not put ScrollView to the ListView

User · Answer

Never put ListView in ScrollView  ListView itself is scrollable

I found a tricky solution    which works only in a RelativeLayout  We only need to put a View above a ListView and set clickable  true  on View and false for the ListView    lt ListView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      android id    id listview     android clickable  false    gt    lt View     android layout width  match parent      android background   drawable gradient white      android layout height  match parent      android clickable  true      android layout centerHorizontal  true      android layout alignTop    id listview    gt

Listview so have inbuild scrolling capabilities  So you can not use listview inside scrollview  Encapsulate it in any other layout like LinearLayout or RelativeLayout
