android: listview inside a scrollView doesn't work?

Question

I am having a listview inside a scrollview, but the problem is that the scrollview is scrolling but listview is not scrolling. I think this is due to that scrollView.

Can somebody who has a working solution post it here as reference?

Answer 1

Generally, you cannot put scrollable things inside other scrollable things, where they scroll in the same direction, and have the results be reliable. Occasionally this works (e.g., WebViews in a ViewPager), but that is the exception, not the norm.

Either:

• Move the ListView out of the ScrollView, or

• Move all the rest of the contents of the ScrollView into the ListView, whether using things like addHeaderView() or my MergeAdapter
