Of course, combination of expandable listview withing VERTICAL scrollview is not happening to be good option, but using it within HorizontalScrollView works impressive. I use this method in my program. User can horizontally scroll long strings. 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/RelativeView01"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    >
    <Button
            android:id="@+id/btnSaveSelection"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_width="100dip"
            android:layout_height="50dip"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:text="@string/SaveSelection"
            android:focusable="true"
            android:background="@drawable/android_button"
            android:onClick="myClickHandler14" />
        .........
<HorizontalScrollView 
    android:id="@+id/HorizontalScrollView01" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:scrollbars="horizontal|vertical"
    android:layout_above="@id/button_add_group"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"> 
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout02" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:orientation="vertical" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"> 
        <ExpandableListView android:id="@+id/android:list"
                android:layout_width="750px"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:groupIndicator="@android:color/transparent" />
            <TextView android:id="@+id/android:empty"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="#000000"
                android:text="@string/no_data"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

ExpandableListView has its own listview. You don't have to integrate another listview on it. Notice that if you have a long list, vertical scroll is associated automatically.

I don't think any of you got his question right! He is asking about the "expandable" list view. Anyways I also seem to be having the same doubt.

I still think the answer is NO.

You may be able to use custom views and them inflate them into an already existent layout element which will give you the same effect. And I think that solution will be better.

ListView already have scrollView associated with it, you can use MergeAdapter to achieve this

combination of listview withing scrollview is not happening to be good option. if you will place any listview within scroll view the listview will not scroll. Its seeming to be officialy said by google android programmer that this will be a bad user experience.
