Question

This makes no sense. I have some code that has a simple LinearLayout and inside it there is a TextView and a ScrollView and inside the ScrollView there is a button. Well when I add the second button I get an error saying that ScrollView can only have one child. Is a Button considered a different child??? I’m sorry for my stupidity if this is really simple. If anyone can help THANKS!

ScrollView must have 1 child. So put the two buttons inside a layout.
