Make the child of the ScrollView have android:layout_height="wrap_content" (currently yours has match_parent)

I am having no luck, i modified it to wrap_content but nothing – jedgard Aug 09 '13 at 16:26
You also haven't set layout_width and layout_height for the ScrollView. Both should be `match_parent` – Karakuri Aug 09 '13 at 16:58
