Try this simplest soultion:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <LinearLayout 
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <LinearLayout 
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:orientation="vertical">
              <!-- Add up your Content -->
        </LinearLayout>
  </ScrollView>

The problem is that You have not ended up with the xml. You have to put the 

</LinearLayout>

Tag at the end. You started with a LinearLayout as the parent container and put inside the scrollView. Then You put again a LinearLayout inside etc... . But at the end of Your xml, You don´t close the parent LinearLayout....

The second issue is, that You have more than one view inside the ScrollView. You have two LinearLayouts inside, just make one view inside a scrollView. It´s not allowed to put more than one inside scrollView...

EDIT

and finally, like Rubén Jiménez said, You missed the tag at the end of Your textView. That edit is just for the sake of completeness...

You also missed the "/>" at the final of the textView.

Change it for:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_width="75dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="12:00 AM" />

ScrollView can have only one direct child

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:orientation="vertical"
                tools:context="com.cozyne.toglebtn.MainActivity" >

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

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/llTopBar"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:divider="#00ff00"
        android:dividerPadding="22dip"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:showDividers="middle" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="75dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="12:00 AM" />
     <Button
            android:id="@+id/button2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="62dp"
            android:text="ON" />
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/layout2"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:divider="#00ff00"
        android:dividerPadding="22dip"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:showDividers="middle" >
    <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView3"
            android:layout_width="75dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="12:00 AM" />
    <Button
            android:id="@+id/button3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="62dp"
            android:text="ON" />
     </LinearLayout>
     </LinearLayout>
   </ScrollView>
