Android relative layout inside scrollview not scrolling in landscape mode

Question

Hi I have put all my UI elements inside a relative layout and then put the relative layout in the scrollview to achieve screen scrolling. But the layout is not scrolling in landscape mode.What am I missing here. any idea?

Thanks, P

Update: The view is not scrolling in potrait mode as well. I added some extra UI elements and the view is not scrolling in this mode either. I am using Nexus 6P phone to test it.

Here is the xml

What happens when you change the `RelativeLayout` width/height to `wrap_content`? — Martin Konecny, Dec 29 '15 at 01:25
Hi, Are you try to put ***RelativeLayout*** inside ***LinearLayout*** look like : ***ScrollView*** -> ***LinearLayout*** -> ***RelativeLayout*** -> your content — Danh DC, Dec 29 '15 at 02:53

I just tested a similar layout and it's scrolling fine. What's inside the scrollview needs to be larger than the screen size for the scroll bar to show. Or you could set a size for the scrollview then as long as the content inside is larger it will scroll.

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="layout.LoginFragment"
    android:fillViewport="true"
  >
 <RelativeLayout
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Add a lot of text here so the text will fill page and scroll aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
            android:textSize="20dp" />

 </RelativeLayout>
