ScrollView not scrolling at all

Question

I can't make a ScrollView properly scrolling. It always cut off the content on the bottom, as if it were a normal LinearLayout.

My code

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:fillViewport="true" >      <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/scroll_layout"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:isScrollContainer="true"         android:orientation="vertical" > 

Of course, I already tried to add / remove the "fillViewport" and "isScrollContainer" properties, and it did not change anything at all.

This is for ScrollView (VERTICAL ONLY)

HorizontalScrollView must be used for horizontal scrolling.

Answer: the ScrollView is not working when used as the root element of an XML layout. It has to be wrapped inside a LinearLayout.

Solution then :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"      android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent" >      <ScrollView android:id="@+id/scroll_view"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:fillViewport="true" >          <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/scroll_layout"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:orientation="vertical" >          </LinearLayout>     </ScrollView> </LinearLayout>

❌Tried all the above mentioned answers, but still my issue was unsolved. And after some debugging and changes, my issue got fixed that is the ScrollView is getting scrolled.

• We need not to add any parent element to the ScrollView to make it scroll (as mentioned in some of the other answers here).

✔️The Fix was for my issue✔️

• changed the height of the ScrollView to 0dp

  android:layout_height="0dp"

• Constrained the Top and Bottom to parent/respective views/elements

  app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView4" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"

The final xml looks like this

<ScrollView     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="0dp"     app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView4"     app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">      <LinearLayout         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:orientation="vertical">             <!-- Loong content -->      </LinearLayout> </ScrollView>
