    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

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

Why are using a HorizontalScrollView? Is it to create a horizontal ListView? — UdeshUK, Jan 11 '18 at 09:35
Use recyclerview instead of listview to easily create horizontal behaviour — Vivek Mishra, Jan 11 '18 at 09:36

You are using ListView inside of ScrollView, this will not work.

If you want to have horizontal ListView you need to use RecyclerView

You can use recyclerview. Set horizontal linear layout as layoutmanager for recyclerview to achieve horizontal scrolling
