ListView and ScrollView not showing correctly

Question

I'm having problems with a layout in wich I have two buttons (working fine) and a listview wrapped by a scrollview.

The problem is that the list is shown but I can only see one element, I can scroll but the rest of the screen is wasted and I want the listview to be displayed as big as it can be.

Here is my layout XML:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/LinearLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".Enviar" >

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/layhoriz"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/b_arriba"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Arriba" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/b_salir_2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Salir" />
</LinearLayout>

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/ListView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >
    </ListView>
</ScrollView>

add the java code you are using to populate the view, your problem should be there — Mihai Bratulescu, Aug 22 '13 at 11:24

Try to use a ListView element without scrollview, the scroll works on the ListView when the number of elements are more than the elements displayed on the screen.

Ok, the problem was that the listview is already scrollable, so I don't need to wrap it with any scrollview – Victor Aug 22 '13 at 14:30

There is no need to use the scroll view over the list view

Its not a best practice to put any vertically scrollable viewgroup inside another vetical scrolling viewgroup/container.

Have a look a here.

If you anyway want to achieve it, look at the answer given in the same post.

You don't put Auto expanding views ( like ListView) in a ScrollView.

ScrollView is set to expand for its contents and provide scrolling, it has no height/width of its own set. So, its child view should not try to match_parent.

Mark the ListView to have a fixed height.

I recommend watching this google presentation, about ListViews.

ListView will scroll its contents automatically, so there is no need to use a ScrollView.
