<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:nestedScrollingEnabled="true">

     <LinearLayout
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text=""
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:paddingBottom="80dp"/>

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="375dp"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        app:cardCornerRadius="0dp"

            android:layout_height="match_parent">

            <ImageView

You cannot put a scrollable view (cardView) inside an another scrollable view (LinearLayout) because both scrolls are incompatible.

If you only have a TextView upper the CardView, I would remove the ScrollView and then the CardView will scroll normally. The layout structure should be:

<LinearLayout>
<TextView>
<Cardview>
...
</CardView>
</LinearLayout>

Hope it helps.

Looking at the layout, in portrait there is probably not enough content to even need the view to scroll. I plugged this into Android Studio and was only able to scroll when in landscape.

Also, as a general rule, the child of a ScrollView (your LinearLayout) should use wrap_content instead of match_parent.

If you want your ScrollView to always at least fill the screen, you can use the android:fillViewPort="true" attribute on your ScrollView.
