I have a LinearLayout that has a lot of TextViews programatically put in. By a lot, I mean it extends beyond the bottom of my screen. I want to use a ScrollView to allow the user to scroll beyond the screen and see the rest of the TextViews. This is my activity_main.xml currently:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/ll" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="61dp" android:orientation="vertical" > </LinearLayout> </ScrollView>

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Try changing android:layout_width="wrap_content" to android:layout_width="match_parent" 

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/ll" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_marginBottom="61dp" android:orientation="vertical" > </LinearLayout> </ScrollView>

Change your code as below !

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/ll" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="61dp" android:orientation="vertical" > </LinearLayout> </ScrollView>

NOTE: To see if it is scrolling or not try placing some views inside linearLayout like buttons otherwise you won't notice the screen scrolling
