Surround your layout with a ScrollView... (and I cant see any layout code you mentioned...)

well, all XML files can only have one root element, so even without a ScrollView you will have something like a LinearLayout as root, right? So don't replace this Layout with a ScrollView, instead surround this layout with the ScrollView. That the ScrollView will have only one child. – WarrenFaith Sep 17 '10 at 12:05
