Scrollview is not working on android studio?

Question

Ive tried different ways, even did the whole thing again and I don't know why it isn't working. Any help please? whenever I add another card instead of scrolling the view, it just takes more space on the screen decreasing the size of all the other elements there. I'm a beginner so i apologise if i made any stupid mistakes. Before adding another card,After adding another card

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

@Zoe I am using android studio for my project. This is a part of my project not just some code. — Ali Rathore, Feb 25 '19 at 06:26
So? You're not asking about AS specifically, and the code would still be identical whether you used Android Studio, Eclipse, or hacked together something and used Vim. See https://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/315196/6296561 — Zoe, Feb 25 '19 at 06:32
@Zoe when should I use the tag then? can you please give me an example? — Ali Rathore, Feb 25 '19 at 06:47
Use the android tag instead (you already used it, so the only thing needed was removing the Android Studio tag). See also the [tag wiki](https://stackoverflow.com/tags/android-studio/info) — Zoe, Feb 25 '19 at 06:52

Instead of Using GridLayout use RecyclerView and User Adapter for adding card dynamically

you have provide the android:layout_rowWeight="1" in cardview remove that line and add height to android:layout_height="wrap_content" or some value like android:layout_height="250dp" in your all Cardviews.
There is not a problem with ScrollView.

You have to put your scroll view inside the layout then it will working fine...

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:weightSum="1.5"
android:orientation="vertical"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<ScrollView android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

  <!--put your nested layouts and other things which you want to use for 
  scrolling-->

</LinearLayout>
 </ScrollView>
   </LinearLayout>

Just remember this that scroll view only allows one layout inside it.

the above code will definitely help you

can you please show the updated code – Vipul Chauhan Feb 27 '19 at 07:08 — Vipul Chauhan, Feb 27 '19 at 07:08
