Scrollview doesn't scroll to the margin at the bottom

Question

I have a simple layout as follows :

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="#D23456" >      <LinearLayout     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_margin="10dp"     android:background="#FFFFFF" >          <ImageView             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="800dp"             android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />     </LinearLayout>  </ScrollView> 

The background of the scrollview is pink and linear layout inside has the android icon image with a height of 800dp (that doesnt fit to the screen) . What I'm expecting to see is that imageview floats in a background of pink with a margin of 10dp in every sides (top,bottom,left,right).But when I scroll to the bottom, the scrollview doesn't scroll to the margin, so the bottom of the scroll is the imageview not the pink margin.

How can I prevent this? This makes the user think the page hasn't ended yet and makes him want to scroll more.

I later found out that ,a similar situation has already been answered in the following thread https://stackoverflow.com/a/16885601/1474471 by @olefevre.

Adding an extra LinearLayout that surrounds the current LinearLayout with a padding and removing the inner LinearLayout's layout-margin solved the problem:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >  <LinearLayout     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:background="#D23456"     android:padding="10dp" >      <LinearLayout         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:background="#FFFFFF" >          <ImageView             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="800dp"             android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />     </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout>  </ScrollView>
