ScrollView not Working in my relativelayout

I followed someone example on having a relative layout with a scrollview. I did exactly it and my page still won't scroll. Am I missing out something? Or must I change it to a linear layout to make it work? Still new to Android Studio here.
Any help will be much appreciated. Randomly adding words so I can post this.

We can able to scroll the view only when the items in the scroll view exits the visibility. I check your code it happens for your layout too. For checking add few more item in that scroll view, It will start scroll
And one more thing instead of setting some constant value set android:layout_height="wrap_content"

This should work:
<RelativeLayout
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="mapp.com.sg.receiptscanner.Info">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

always use this
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
for scrollview and its only child.

How to show the input text view in Android

On this screenshot:
I am looking for the solution to make the UI more decent. I like the blue line for the input box but it only show either User Name or Password only. What is the simplest way to let the 2 blue line appear below User Name and Password in order?

I do not know the reason as to why the whole screen is shifted. The last time I opened, it was fits in the screen perfectly. Anyone has any idea why, can you please help me? Thanks.
Edited:
After doing according to what #Andy Res said, My screen currently is displayed like this. For your reference, the skin that I am using for my emulator is WVGA854.

I see you allign your Title to the right of txtDate.
And then all the controls are aligned having the Title as a reference.
So I believe this line may cause the shifting to the right.
<TextView
android:id="#android:id/text1"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/txtDate"
.... />
Try to remove: android:layout_alignRight="#+id/txtDate" and see if any effect.
