Scrollview not working even after adding only one child to it

Question

I just wonder why my view is not scrollable. As told by the following links:

How to make a LinearLayout scrollable

Making LinearLayout Scrollable

I've got my linear layout within the scrollview and there is only one child for the scroll view. Still my view is not scrollable. Could someone tell me why it is not working.

                android:text="Map View" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

</ScrollView>

I accidentally missed the following portion in my question.

I've got the following code in Activity.java where I add images dynamically to the LinearLayout with the help of ImageView.

LinearLayout linearContainer = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearContainer);

ImageView imageViews = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());

linearContainer.addView(imageViews);

btnAddImage.setOnClickListener() {
    ImageView image = new ImageView(getApplicationContext());
    image.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
    imageViews.addView(image);
    image.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10);
}

Does the above create any problem to scrolling? If yes, kindly help me out how to make it work.

Answer 1

Try using this way:

android:orientation="vertical"

Or an another way is:

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/ButtonLayout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:gravity="bottom" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/add_button"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="10sp"
        android:onClick="editItem"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:text="@string/button_edit" />
</RelativeLayout>

Answer 2

set fillViewPort property of scrollview to true.it should work then after.hope it will help.
