(Android) Make a layout scroll-able?

Question

I have a layout like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="16dp"
    android:isScrollContainer="true">

    <Button
        android:layout_width="180dp"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:text="Button1"
        android:layout_gravity="left"
        android:layout_row="0"
        android:layout_column="0"></Button>

    <Button
        android:layout_width="180dp"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:text="Button2"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:layout_row="0"
        android:layout_column="1"></Button>

    <Button
        android:layout_width="180dp"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:text="Button3"
        android:layout_gravity="left"
        android:layout_row="1"
        android:layout_column="0"></Button>

    <Button
        android:layout_width="180dp"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:text="Button4"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:layout_row="1"
        android:layout_column="1"></Button>

    <Button
        android:layout_width="180dp"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:text="Button5"
        android:layout_gravity="left"
        android:layout_row="2"
        android:layout_column="0"></Button>

    <Button
        android:layout_width="180dp"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:text="Button6"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:layout_row="2"
        android:layout_column="1"></Button>
    
</GridLayout>

Normally I will fit everything into a Relative or Constraint layout. But this time I intentionally made it big so that Button5 and Button6 can't be seen. And what I want is to make the layout scrollable so that the user can scroll up to see the Button5 and Button6?

How can I do it? What layout is to be used? Is there a way to make other layouts scrollale?

You have to do this if you want to scroll your view

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:isScrollContainer="true"
android:padding="16dp">

<ScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <GridLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <Button
            android:layout_width="180dp"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:layout_row="0"
            android:layout_column="0"
            android:layout_gravity="left"
            android:text="Button1"></Button>

        <Button
            android:layout_width="180dp"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:layout_row="0"
            android:layout_column="1"
            android:layout_gravity="right"
            android:text="Button2"></Button>

        <Button
            android:layout_width="180dp"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:layout_row="1"
            android:layout_column="0"
            android:layout_gravity="left"
            android:text="Button3"></Button>

        <Button
            android:layout_width="180dp"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:layout_row="1"
            android:layout_column="1"
            android:layout_gravity="right"
            android:text="Button4"></Button>

        <Button
            android:layout_width="180dp"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:layout_row="2"
            android:layout_column="0"
            android:layout_gravity="left"
            android:text="Button5"></Button>

        <Button
            android:layout_width="180dp"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:layout_row="2"
            android:layout_column="1"
            android:layout_gravity="right"
            android:text="Button6"></Button>
    </GridLayout>
</ScrollView>
</GridLayout>
