Android ScrollView automatically scrolls to the bottom of the view

Question

I have created one activity which is containing one map, image and another text view, and I have added "scrollview" tag for it. But after the activity starts it scrolls to the end of the page automatically. Please tell me why this happens and how to stop it from moving to end so I can scroll it by myself.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"     android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context="com.radikallab.earch.DetailsActivity" android:background="@drawable/background10">   <LinearLayout     android:orientation="vertical"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent">       <TextView         android:id="@+id/title"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textSize="25dp"         android:text="Title"         android:textStyle="italic"/>      <ImageView         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:src="@drawable/background4"         android:id="@+id/iv"/>       <TextView         android:id="@+id/rat"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textSize="20sp"         android:text="Title"         android:textStyle="italic"/>      <TextView         android:id="@+id/addr"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textSize="17sp"         android:text="Title"         android:textStyle="italic"/>      <WebView          android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="500dp"         android:layout_marginTop="10dp"         android:id="@+id/webView"         android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" /> </LinearLayout>

I also face the same scenario once but adding the descendantFocusability attribute to the ScrollView's containing LinearLayout, solve my issue.

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" 

you can use this as :

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