ListView inside ScrollView in android

Question

I'm having the listview inside the scrollview when I'm running the app list is scrolling limited to the first item. I think the Scrillview is overriding scrolling of listview here is my code:

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="0.7"
    android:padding="10dp">

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <Button
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="40dp"
                android:id="@+id/client_detail"
                android:text="CLIENT INFORMATION"
                android:textColor="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
                android:background="@drawable/login_selector"/>

                <RelativeLayout
                    android:id="@+id/rl1"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:padding="10dp"
                    android:visibility="gone"
                    android:layout_below="@+id/client_detail">

                    /* HERE IS MY SOME OTHER LAYOUT */

                </RelativeLayout>
                <Button
                    android:text="CONTACT DETAILS"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="40dp"
                    android:background="@drawable/login_selector"
                    android:textColor="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
                    android:layout_below="@+id/rl1"
                    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
                    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
                    android:id="@+id/contactDetails" />

                <ListView
                    android:id="@+id/listView"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_below="@+id/contactDetails"
                    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
                    android:layout_marginTop="10dp" />

        </RelativeLayout>
    </ScrollView>    
</RelativeLayout>

Please need some help, thanks in advance!

use [NestedScrollView](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/NestedScrollView.html). — Monish Kamble, Dec 20 '16 at 06:18
You should use recyclerView and then set recyclerView.nestedScrolling(false); — Stormbuster, Dec 20 '16 at 06:18

You need to use ExpandableHeightListView.

when you use ListView with ScrollView, only one row of the ListView will be visible, so you have to set the height of ListView pro-grammatically depending on the elements inside ListView.You can make a function like this-

  public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
    ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
    if (listAdapter == null) {
        return;
    }
    int desiredWidth = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(listView.getWidth(), View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
    int totalHeight = 0;
    View view = null;
    for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
        view = listAdapter.getView(i, view, listView);
        if (i == 0) {
            view.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(desiredWidth, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
        }
        view.measure(desiredWidth, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
        totalHeight += view.getMeasuredHeight();
    }
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
    params.height = totalHeight + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
    listView.setLayoutParams(params);
    listView.requestLayout();
}

Then you use this method on the listview created-

  HourAdapter adapter1=new HourAdapter(getActivity(),day,start,end,x);
                    listview.setAdapter(adapter1);
                    setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(listview);

It works even if the rows of the ListView have variable height

Don't do this. This makes viewcaching of listitems impossible, resulting in unnecessary many inflated views, which leads to poor performance even for medium sized lists — Christian R., Dec 20 '16 at 06:56
