Android ScrollView layout problem

I’m interested in that topic too, so I did a bit of research. First: Never put a ListView in a ScrollView (as you found out yourself). Unfortunately googling this problem doesn’t lead to any solutions, so I tried my suggestion from my comment above.

I implemented a custom ListAdapter and put the ListViews into one parent ListView. This doesn’t work (leads to the same problem as with a ScrollView). Speaking to the guys on the official android-irc #android-dev on freenode, they told me that putting ListViews into a ListView is as bad as or even worse than putting them into a ScrollView. Unfortunately they also couldn’t help me with the problem.

There seems to be only one way to achieve what you want to do; see the answer on this similar question Scrolling with Multiple ListViews for Android . The idea is to merge all ListViews into a single one by a custom adapter and to insert some kind of headers between entries. This is absolutely doable but might require some special effort.
