In order for a view to scrollable, it must be nested inside of a ScrollView
container:
<ScrollView>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true">
<TextView />
<Button />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Note that a ScrollView
container can only have one child layout view. It is not possible, for example, to place a TextView
and Button
in a ScrollView
without the LinearLayout
.
