Actually you can put a scrollable view (e.g. your ListView) inside another scrollable view (e.g. your ExpandableListView) and make the former scrollable in the following way:

listView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        // disallow the onTouch for your scrollable parent view 
        v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        return false;
    }
});

Please take a look at this question which was asked two days ago. The user there was trying to put a custom view, derived from ListView into ExpandableListView. My answer to that question applies to your case as well, so I'll quote it:

You can't do that because you can't put a scrollable view(ListView) into another scrollable view(ExpandableListView). The reason is that the parent will consume all the touch events and they will never reach the child. ExpandableListView will scroll, but the ListView will never know that scrolling took place.
