ListView inside ScrollView is not scrolling on Android

I found a solution that works excellently and can scroll the ListView without problems:

ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.myListView);  // your listview inside scrollview
lv.setOnTouchListener(new ListView.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            int action = event.getAction();
            switch (action) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                // Disallow ScrollView to intercept touch events.
                v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                // Allow ScrollView to intercept touch events.
                v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                break;
            }

            // Handle ListView touch events.
            v.onTouchEvent(event);
            return true;
        }
    });

What this does is disable the TouchEvents on the ScrollView and make the ListView intercept them. It is simple and works all the time.
