  </ListView>

</RelativeLayout>

</ScrollView>

i have also tried this: (may be there is problem in it )

         setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(listviewattachment);//method call inonCreate  
    private  void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter(); 
     if (listAdapter == null) {
         // pre-condition
         return;
     }

     int totalHeight = 0;
     for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
         View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
         listItem.measure(0, 0);
         totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
     }

     ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
     params.height = totalHeight + (listView.getDividerHeight() *     (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
     listView.setLayoutParams(params);

}

You shouldn't use a ListView inside a ScrollView because ListView class implements its own scrolling behavior. So there will be issues in receiving gesture events because they all are handled by the parent ScrollView. Maybe you could rethink/redesign your layout a bit in order to avoid this solution.

@user2768215 What error you are getting ? – GrIsHu Oct 02 '13 at 07:48
Is the number of elements in your list static? I mean, do you get the data from some web service or not? – fasteque Oct 02 '13 at 07:48

If the number of views/fields is static, just remove the ListView and add the fields to the ScrollView child, which is not scrolling because you set a fixed height for the RelativeLayout; try setting just wrap_content

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true">

Other tips.-

fill_parent is deprecated, use match_parent instead.
RelativeLayout has no orientation attribute, but actually you should replace the RelativeLayout for a LinearLayout vertical oriented, so you could remove all below/above atributes.
