Question

I have a problem with ScrollView component.
How to prevent stretching of ScrollView?

I have a LinearLayout with weight_sum = 2 and in it an ImageView with layout_weight = 1 and a ScrollView with layout_weight = 1

It looks fine when ScrollView has 2, 3 elements, that means that it doesn’t need to scroll.
When I add more elements the ScrollView resizes, its height gets bigger and bigger, and the ImageView gets smaller.

Height of those items is wrap_content.

How to prevent that problem?

Code:

 <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
    android:layout_weight="3"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:weightSum="2" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/pregamePlayerNames"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@drawable/en_player_names" />

    <ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:layout_weight="1" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/pregamePlayerNamesScroll"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@drawable/home_player_names_ram"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>

 </LinearLayout>

If you are giving weight to the layout no need to specify the height

 <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/pregamePlayerNames"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:background="@drawable/en_player_names" />

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" >
