Listview inside PagerTabStrip not scrolling

Question

We're developing an app for our final project at college. We're using PagerTabStrip (ViewPager) with three tabs. Each tab contains a fragment and inside each fragment there are some View components plus a listview.

The main problem is that the listview is not scrolling while there are more items to be seen.(For example, if we have more than 10 items we cannot access the items at the bottom) Note that we can edit and delete items from the listviews(we implemented that with a longclicklistener) but scrolling functionality is the only thing that is not working. It seems that the scrolling is not enabled.

We've searched high and low but we couldn't find a solution yet.

I posted the code below.

Main activity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnPlaceSelectedListener {

/**
 * The {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide
 * fragments for each of the sections. We use a
 * {@link FragmentPagerAdapter} derivative, which will keep every
 * loaded fragment in memory. If this becomes too memory intensive, it
 * may be best to switch to a
 * {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.

private SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;

/**
 * The {@link ViewPager} that will host the section contents.

    // primary sections of the activity.

Try this:

yourListView.setOnTouchListener(new ListView.OnTouchListener() {
      @Override
      public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
      int action = event.getAction();
      switch (action) {
         case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
          v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
          break;
         case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:     
          v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
          break;
         }
       v.onTouchEvent(event);
      return true;
     }
});
