                         <TextView [...]></TextView>
                     </TableRow>
                     <TableRow [...]>
                         <AutoCompleteTextView [...]></AutoCompleteTextView>
                         <AutoCompleteTextView [...]></AutoCompleteTextView>
                         <Spinner [...]></Spinner>
                     </TableRow>
                 </TableLayout>
            </RelativeLayout>
         </ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

When i try to scroll in my App it wont work… what did i do wrong?
i deleted the properties from the elements. if you need them to solve the problem i can add them.
i did it to get a better overview.

thanks,

Try adding the ScrollView as the parent. Swich place with LinearLayout.
And dont forget to add the following on your ScrollView instead of the LinearLayout:

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

And layout_widht and layout_height of the ScrollView should be set to “fill_parent”

This is my code which uses ScrollView in a calendar I made, could help you:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
