You cannot use ListView inside ScrollView. Many of us got this problem. So here is the solution of this question:

  1. Create a list.xml that contains just ListView
  2. Create a header.xml that contains above the XML code of ListView
  3. Create a footer.xml that contains below the XML code of ListView

At last, from your main class grab the ListView reference and add list Header and Footer. Hope this will work. If you have any problem with this make sure your comment.

Put Scroll view before your main LinearLayout.

<LinearLayout>
    <ScrollView>
       <LinearLayout>
             // This Linear Layout contains your entire layout code
       </LinearLayout>
    </Scrollview>
   </LinearLayout>

Agreed. It supports only one child. But if you want the above xml file to be scrollable, Put your main Linearlayout inside scrollView tag. The main LinearLayout will be considered as single child of ScrollView.

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    >
    <LinearLayout 
    android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    >
    ...
</ScrollView>
