Question

I have a page with this sort of a layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        >       

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/question_label"    
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Your question: "
    />     

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/question"    
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text=""
    />     

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/please_wait"    
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Please wait while the discussion loads..."
    />     

    <ListView
    android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@+id/label"
        android:textSize="20px" >        
    </ListView>

        <EditText  
            android:id="@+id/question_text"  
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
            android:hint="@string/question_comment_hint"  
            android:inputType="textMultiLine"  
            android:lines="5"  
            android:layout_width="fill_parent">  
        </EditText>

<Button  
            android:id="@+id/submit"  
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
            android:text="@string/submit"  
            android:onClick="sendFeedback"  
            android:layout_width="fill_parent">  
        </Button>               


</LinearLayout>

For some reason once the screen gets filled, it does not scroll down. Any idea why that might happen?

thanks!

</LinearLayout>

You have to use Scrollview to scroll your view, try above code, hope it will work.
