android - ScrollView not scrolling at all

Question

I can't make a ScrollView properly scrolling. It always cut off the content on the bottom, as if it were a normal LinearLayout.

My code

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

    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/scroll_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:isScrollContainer="true"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

Of course, I already tried to add / remove the "fillViewport" and "isScrollContainer" properties, and it did not change anything at all.

This is for ScrollView (VERTICAL ONLY)

HorizontalScrollView must be used for horizontal scrolling.

Answer: the ScrollView is not working when used as the root element of an XML layout. It has to be wrapped inside a LinearLayout.

Solution then :

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

    <ScrollView android:id="@+id/scroll_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fillViewport="true" >

        <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/scroll_layout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

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