How to make whole activity scrollable according to the data inside it

I have tried LinearLayout inside which I put several textview. I completely use weights for each and every view. Problem arises when data becomes too much in lenght and textview not shows it completely. I also tried tabletlayout but that thing also not works beacuse ultimately tablelayout is inside linear layout having weight,so it doesn't grows beyond a certain limit. I want to know how can I make a activity scrollable with showing all data while using weights.

Use Scrollview in xml Layout of your activity.
Example:
XML code for your activity:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp"
android:fillViewport="false">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/image" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="KNOW MORE" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/title"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/description"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

You can Use Scroll View With Linear Layout as well as With Relative layout.
You Can try this code, Just Copy and paste in XML File.

You can make your activity scrollable using ScrollView.
Its very simple and effective to use.Just copy code of ScrollView from below and paste it in your layout xml file.
You can use this ScrollView with Linear as well as Relative Layout also.
Just need to remember one thing,ScrollView can have only one child widget.If you want more Children then wrap them into one container.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

Aligning components in a TableRow layout

I am trying to create a header that is a little similar to the facebook android app. The header should have a header title in the middle with a button on each side.
I have the header title but my code below does not show either button. I'm not sure if this info helps but the TableRow layout for this header is taking up a lot of height space. It used to wrap the until the title's height until I attempted adding buttons.
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#008000" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/menuButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/HeaderTextView"
android:text="Button" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/HeaderTextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/header"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#FFF"
android:textStyle="italic" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/infoButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/HeaderTextView"
android:text="Button" />
</RelativeLayout>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>

This works for me. For what ever reason, the android:layout_weight="1" makes it work.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >

try
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
It worked for a similar problem i've had some time ago.

have you tried to set the height of both the problematic linearLayout and the imageView to wrap_content?
also, have you tried to set a weight (to 1) to the problematic linearLayout and then set its height to 0px ?

You can do that with a RelativeLayout like that. Just put all you views in the linearlayout inside the scrollview.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

Change scrollview height to 0dp and give weight as 1.
Change button layout gravity to bottom instead of center.

ListView pushes button out of screen

I'm trying to get the ListView to remain the same size even if it overflows. However, once the ListView overflows, it pushes the buttons below off the screen. How do I prevent it from pushing other elements that are below it?
As you can see from the above images, the second shows that the buttons get pushed off the screen once the ListView overflows.

You can use a relative layout for this. Modify the below according to your needs
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical" >

android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginRight="11dp"
android:layout_marginTop="11dp"
android:text="Create New Group" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_marginTop="23dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName" >

I added this line : android:layout_weight="1" to the LinearLayout where EditText exist (my problem source) and the problem is gone !
look at the code where I commented <!-- HERE!!! -->
LOL I know i'm very late to answer this Q ,, sorry ,, but for anyone who is still struggling !

android:text="Done"

i had my problem with the highlighted EditText in the pic ,,, it expands with the entered text and pushes the DONE Button down !
I know my solution may look so silly but I took a whole day to solve this !
Hope it helps ^_^ GL
