How can I see the full layout in Android?

I have a LinearLayout in Android that has this structure:

<LinearLayout>
   <LinearLayout>
      <EditText></EditText>
      <TextView></TextView>
   </LinearLayout>

   //Here more LinearLayout similar to the LinearLayout that I put above

</LinearLayout>

But I have so much EditText and LinearLayout in my layout that I can't see the full layout in the screen of my mobile phone. It won't be a problem if I could move the screen to see the full layout, but I couldn't. I just can see the elements that enter in the screen, the rest aren't accesible.

I saw a lot of questions but any of them let me fix my error.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance!

Choose a ScrollView as container for your layout

Like this:

    <ScrollView 
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/scroll" 
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <LinearLayout>
       <LinearLayout>
          <EditText></EditText>
          <TextView></TextView>
       </LinearLayout>

   //Here more LinearLayout similar to the LinearLayout that I put above        
   </LinearLayout>

This is the referece about ScrollView

Use ScrollView as root

 <ScrollView 
          xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@+id/scroll" 
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <LinearLayout>
           <LinearLayout>
              <EditText></EditText>
              <TextView></TextView>
           </LinearLayout>

       //Here more LinearLayout similar to the LinearLayout that I put above        
       </LinearLayout>

 </ScrollView>

Try packaging your most outer LinearLayout with a ScrollView. This will allow your users to scroll down and see all the content.

ScrollView example

Good luck!
