Can't put the list view under the text view

This is my relative layout right now:
http://prntscr.com/d9yure
All I want is deleteList be under the deleteUsersTxt, but it doesn't let me. It only allows me to put it below invitation list. I have tried to add to it android:layout_below="#+id/deleteUsersTxt" but it just makes it dissapear.
This is the XML:

Is there a minimum space for a list to be in?

Here is not something but everything goes wrong.
You can use LinearLayout (with vertical orientation) as your root layout to make it easy.
Then it will become more easy to understand for you.

Try grouping them inside of a LinearLayout and split them equally, like this:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_above="#id/deleteUsersTxt"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/addUsersTxt"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:id="#+id/invitaionsList"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:choiceMode="multipleChoice" />
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:id="#+id/deleteList"/>
</LinearLayout>

Scrollview can only host one child

I can't figure out how to get these radio groups/text views into a scrollview. Can anyone help me? Heres what i've tried but I keep getting the error scrollview can only host one child and I don't know how to fix it.

Choose a single container layout for all the child items you want to appear in a ScrollView. Most of the time this will be a LinearLayout to get them stacked vertically, but it could really be any view you want. You just need to choose one and arrange the children in it manually.

Add a layout inside scroll view and move the ui widgets(textview and radiogroup) inside that layout.

Android cannot resolve R

This happened yesterday when i was replacing a few elements in my XML. When I went to my main class, I saw that all references to R had been marked red, and I was told that R could not be resolved to a variable. At first, I tried to rebuild and clean up my project, but that didn't work, so I am assuming that the issue lies in the XML file I recently edited, however I do now know where the issue would lie. And yes, I did make sure android.R was not being imported.
A few additional details:
I am using Android 5.0 (API 21)
The R issues do not appear in my other class files, which reference R.
Here is the XML file in question:

I am not able to see any issues in this xml file . Can you also post the code for the class file where you are using it and check if you're not using android.r and using com.yourapp.r . This might be the case. Could you post the class also

The error says it very clearly ScrollView can host only one direct child. That means when you are using ScrollView you should consider creating a layout which holds all views in it and add your ScrollView as it's parent. For example :
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
//ADD YOUR VIEWS ONLY HERE
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
You layout should look like this! Instead of RelativeLayout, you can use whenever layout you want, but just remember: All views should be added in one layout!

ScrollView can host only one child, such as RelativeLayout or LinearLayout (or any other View extending VIewGroup, so your implementation should be something like this:
<ScrollView>
<LinearLayout>
here you can put how many Views you need
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

Scrollview that doesn't scroll

In order to view all the elements inside my relativelayout in smaller screens, I have made the choice to use a scrollview to make it possible (or at least to try to accomplish this). The problem: I'm unable to scroll. The result of having or not the scrollview is the same, if the screen is small some elements will get cut off (this was fine if scroll was possible). In some searches I have come across some scrollview with linearlayout implementations, but in my case I think it's not very good, because i need check boxes aligned to the right of text.
Heres the xml of what I got thus far:

Huzzah! I got it to work! It was all a combination, of linearlayout, scrollview and relativelayout were was needed. Now it scrolls perfectly when the screen its not big enough to view the full content. I'm guessing that changing to linearlayout, was in fact the key in this. Basically i applied what was stated in developer site: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ScrollView.html
A child that is often used is a LinearLayout in a vertical
orientation, presenting a vertical array of top-level items that the
user can scroll through.
The xml:
