ScrollView, I can't scroll to see top of the content

You have to remove android:layout_gravity="bottom".

To get to the bottom of your ScrollView, add android:id="@+id/scrollView" to your ScrollView xml tag and simply add the below code to your onCreate function or any other place where you need it after you've set the text.

final ScrollView scrollView = ((ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scrollView)); scrollView.postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { scrollView.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN); } },100); 

You can try to use post() instead of postDelayed() like this:

final ScrollView scrollView = ((ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scrollView)); scrollView.post(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { scrollView.fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN); } }); 

It does not have a delay, but this can lead to problems in some circumstances.

See this

ScrollView scr = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scr); scr.setNestedScrollingEnabled(true); 

Add this to the scrollview.

android:fillViewport="true" 

Use This
