        </ScrollView>

    </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

I would like to scroll in this layout because the last part of the relativelayout is not visible! But i don't know how to do it. I tried to add a scrollview but i got the error: scrollview can host only one direct child! Do you have any tips for me?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1

ScrollView expects a single child view and in your layout you have 2 TextView. To make the ScrollView work you have to wrap your TextView in a ViewGroup like LinearLayout or RelativeLayout.

Edited code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+navigate/RLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#ABABAB"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    >
// ... THE REST OF YOUR CODE
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

Answer 2

Take this code right over you want the scroll to start:

<ScrollView 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    >

Then end up with when you want to stop it.
