TextView in a LinearLayout that is set in a ScrollVew getting squeezed

Going crazy with this one here,(just to be clear: I looked at all the questions here on stackoverflow regarding "scrollview not working" and none of them helped). The following is a short version of what I'm trying to do
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/week_View"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Monday" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Monday" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Monday" />.....
.............
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Textview is repeated multiple more times inside the linearLayout if that is not cleared and I want it to scroll horizontally. What I'm getting is:
You see the textView at the end getting "squeezed" and the rest of the textviews are not even displayed and scrollview doesn't go left or right. What am I doing incorrectly? (The scrollview is wrapped in a RelativeLayout).

ScrollViews are always vertical, meaning they go up and down. Use a HorizontalScrollView instead.

As you have got n number of textViews its better to use
a recyclerview with horizontal layout manager as it wont create memories of all textviews at one go
or,
you can use a horizontalScrollView to scroll them horizontally..
ScrollView scrolls vertically

Listview in dialog dynamic layout

I have a simple fragment dialog with a listview, EditText and two button (accept and cancel).
I want my layout to look like this:
Listview on top
EditText right below
and
Buttons side by side below edittext.
Now my problem is that listview can have 0 or a 100 elements.
So if I put everythis in a vertical LinearLayout and listview has a lot of elements the edittext and buttons get pushed out of view. And if I use relative layout and say that edit text is aligned parent bottom and below the listview that it looks ok for 100elements but when the listview is empty the dialog uses all of the screen space.
Here is an example of my code when using relativeLayout. Is there another way to make is so that linearLayout with id "below" is below the listview but will still be visible(if list view has a lot of items) without using alignParentBottom="true" because that is the reason the layout stretches to full screen.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/ListViewPreNotes"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/bottom" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/below"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">

android:id="#+id/dialogButtonClose"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:text="#string/ok"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/dialogButtonCancel"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"

</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Set ListView.Visibility to Gone when no records found and use RelativeLayout and align parent bottom.

you can add what you need to show below the ListView in its footer. You can add it like this.
View footerView = ((LayoutInflater) ActivityContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.footer_layout, null, false);
ListView.addFooterView(footerView);

You can use FrameLayout as the root and then you can place your LinearLayouts on top of the ListView.

Some credit goes to Arsalan Shah for his suggestions.
This is the final version of how I solved my problem (kind of hacky):
First I check how many elements I have in a list view then depending on that and depending on the device and orientation mode (portrait or landscape) I inflate eather the layout in my question or another layout with listview footer that Arsalan Shah suggested.
Example:
If the device is below 7" and it is in landscape mode and the number of items in my list is above 4 I will use my layout otherwise I will use Arsalan Shah suggestion. I sort of tested for what the number of items on which layout/device should be for what layout to find the best case scenario for my design.
Hope this helps anyone else that might have the same problem.
If anyone has a suggestion how to do all this in only one layout then please comment below.

Android/XML - How to align an immobile layout to top of parent and have scrollview below?

Please refer to example below. I want to have the top layout (below encased in red) to be unmoving in a scrollview in my activity. I have a scrollview as the parent layout and then I thought having a relative layout for the top one would work, and align it to the top, but that didn't really work out as it still remained within the scrollview. I would like to have the users have the red-layout box remain static when they scroll down.
I figure I would also have to put in a topMargin at the top of the scrollview or something in order to fit the redbox layout in.
XML Code posted here: http://pastebin.com/bxdREbeG

Do something like this (hand code, for reference only):
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/YourTopStaticView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"> //Or any other height you want
//Contents of the top view
</RelativeLyout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/YourTopStaticView">
//Contents of the ScrollView
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
As a side note, do not hardcode children into the ScrollView like that. Use the RecyclerView (which is an updated, modern replacement for ListView), which you will be expected to know how to use if you want to move into serious Android programming. It is actually super easy to use, once you get the hang of it :-)

You should use the ScrollView with only one child (official documentation - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ScrollView.html). According to your xml, your ScrollView is very complicated with a lot of child widgets.
The best option for you is to use a LinearLayout as the root for the whole container, a LinearLayout( or Relative) for the top layout containing the Reset and Save buttons, and a ListView for the long list that you have. ListView takes care of it's own scrolling. So you don't have to worry about that.
This will improve your code performance as well.

This should suit your needs:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/topPanel"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp">
<TextView android:id="#+id/label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="Multi TTS Implementation"/>
<Button android:id="#+id/save"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="SAVE"/>
<Button android:id="#+id/resetAll"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/save"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="RESET ALL"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<ScrollView android:id="#id/scroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_below="#id/topPanel"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:padding="5dp">
<!-- Your scrollable content here -->
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

how to create a bouncable scrollview with header in android?

I want a bouncable scrollview (iPhone like) in my project. I find some articles about overscroll and use it like This class here. But i dont know how to set over scroll view as its header.
I also tried adding a view simply before my custom scroll view but it didn't work (codes at the end).
I need a view attached to scrollview how can i do this? any idea will be grateful.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#FF8080"
>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
<com.amix.tstsrc.MyScrollView
android:id="#+id/my_scrollView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#8585FF">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/help_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
</LinearLayout>
</com.amix.tstsrc.MyScrollView>

Please go through https://github.com/Larphoid/android-Overscroll-ListView. I hope this is what you are looking for.
In case you want scrollview with header where header stays and the list scrolls and bounces then try to go for listview by using addHeaderView instead of Scrollview.

Android - How to enable full page scrolling on a layout with a ListView?

I have a layout with a ListView. The list scrolls fine, but sometimes the other content on the page needs to be bigger and either the list or the other content take up too much of the screen so I need it all to scroll.
Can that be done?
Here is the layout I have so far:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<include android:id="#+id/header"
layout="#layout/header"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/view_name"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Business:"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/business_privacy"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Loading..."
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/think"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop ="5dp"
android:textColor="#color/light_best_blue"
android:paddingLeft="10px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Fill out each section below"
/>
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#+id/label"
android:textSize="20px"
>
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
What would be the way to make it easy for the user to be able to see both the text and the list even if the text takes up the whole screen? Can I make the text scrollable? It is especially bad in horizontal view so I think there must be some ux patters to make it play nicely.
Thanks for the advice!

1- Put textview which has a larger text in header of the list view so it get scroll with list...
or
2- put the textview in other scroll view with fixed size like 1/3 of the screen.

You could either make the content wrap, or wrap the content up using a HorizontalScrollView. Android docs on it can be found here.
