            </RelativeLayout>
    </ScrollView>

</LinearLayout>

I tried to set a LinearLayout inside scrollview and the linearlayout contains the relative but i got the same result.

Whats wrong?

Use android:layout_height="wrap_content" in initial LinearLayout — Miroslav Michalec, Jul 25 '14 at 13:33
Can't you make this layout with `LinearLayout` with `orientation` property at `vertical`? It's really hard to read! — luiscosta, Jul 25 '14 at 13:34
@Akagami LinearLayout generate more tree nodes in XML layout and the inflate process its more slow, i need performance. Thanks for the suggest — colymore, Jul 25 '14 at 13:36

Try to change the margins to paddings:

<RelativeLayout
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:paddingTop="20dp"
       android:paddingLeft="10dp"
       android:paddingRight="10dp">

Hope this helps.

Because you are giving a `marginTop` and then the `ScrollView` won't scroll to the last `20dip` space because the `RelativeLayout` isn't on the proper place it should be. I don't know how to explain it better, sorry! In other words, what you want is to have an inside space between your View and the borders and not an outside space... – luiscosta Jul 25 '14 at 13:40
Ok, i think i understand. Thanks, in few minutes i set your aswner as correct. – colymore Jul 25 '14 at 13:45
@colymore I just made a quick search to find a good explanation. See this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/5958735/3465623 – luiscosta Jul 25 '14 at 14:01
