could not scroll content in relative or linear layout

Question

I have three linear layout in top relative layout

in first it has a listview
in second it has another linear layout
in third it has a gridview

case 1: When listview load content from server it ocupies full screen so I am not able to see it's below linear layout

case 2: When I apply a scrollview at topmost view, the inside listview dosent scroll properly. nested scrollview doesnt work.

Another idea I want to try is:I want to show every content of listview so that there will be no need to scroll the listview content ( scrolling the top realtive layout may show the content of lisview )..but dont know how to achieve this layout and whether this will work or not. How can I see contents of all three linear layout under one screen? Please help you will be appreciated..

here is the layout

As you set the height of `GridView` and it's parent as `wrap_content` so if your grid view contains more views then other views (siblings of `GridView`'s parent) will draw below (out of the screen). In this case you will never see those views. The better approach is to set weight for each views (in your case child `LinearLayout`s inside first `LinearLayout`), like other suggets. :) — Md Sufi Khan, Apr 24 '18 at 17:30

Please initialize the height of the layouts to 0 and assign weight property so that they can divide the whole screen for all the layouts.

Example : if you initialize two layout's weight to 1 and the last one to 2. The whole screen will be divided into 4 parts and the part will be assigned to each views as the weight is numbered, but the last layout will take 2 parts since is weight is 2.

ScrollView can hold at most one ChildView.So replace your top RelativeLayout as a ScrollView and add other Layouts below ScrollView.Add LinearLayout below ScrollView and put ListView in it.

Use weight property like this: (Change the weight value as your desired UI partition ratio)

<LinearLayout
    android:weightSum="3"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_width="match_parent">
........

    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_width="match_parent">
.........

    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_width="match_parent">
......

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>
