first of all -1 -2 etc are invalid values for height and width of views and layouts.

The problem is self-described; a ScrollView can't have more than 1 View inside it.

Put all your views inside the root LinearLayout

scrollView is not a layout. it is just a container that you can define your layout inside it. so you must define your layout in the scrollView; then add anything you need to the layout. so the views are grandchild of the scroll

your code should be like this

Yes it is true in android applications when you are designing a layout you can have only a single child of the ScrollView. and to solve this problem You have to make a as the child of that and all the other views and widgets will be inside the like the following code

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

        <!-- all other childs (more than one) can be placed here -->

        </Linearlayout>
    </ScrollView>

Error is self explanatory.

A scrollview can have only one direct child.

So make a container layout, which contains all your children. And place that container layout inside a scrollview.

Example hierarchy:

<ScrollView>
    <LinearLayout>  <!-- new container layout-->

        <!-- all your children layouts, views -->
    </LinearLayou>
</ScrollView>
