List view displaying only one record when Android scroll view is used

Question

I am new to android and I am displaying a ListView getting data from a webservice. Below listview there are some other views/controls on the activity.Now the issue I am getting is that when the webservice returns more than one record controls below the listview are getting hidden at the bottom of window for that I tried to use scrollView in my android activity but the issue I am getting after using scroll view is that only one record is getting displayed in the listview. So the problem is 2 way :

1. when I implement listview with other controls at the bottom of it I am not able to scroll when listview displays multiple records.
2. when I use scrollView with and put the listview and other controls inside scrollview , listview displays only one record.

My xml for this is like this:

<LinearLayout 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"
    tools:context="kanix.highrise.com.highrise.generate_material_requisition">

You shouldn't put a listview in scrollview if still you want to place then set the height of listview programatically with this method.

public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
        ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
        if (listAdapter == null) {
            // pre-condition
            return;
        }

        int totalHeight = listView.getPaddingTop()
                + listView.getPaddingBottom();
        for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
            View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
            if (listItem instanceof ViewGroup) {
                listItem.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
                        LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
            }
            listItem.measure(0, 0);
            totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
        }

        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
        params.height = totalHeight
                + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
        listView.setLayoutParams(params);
    }
