Android ListView inside ScrollView not proper

Question

I am sorry, I am new to android xml part. I am setting my listview which is inside scroll view to full screen but its frame is still small. How to resolve it? I have already set both width and height to "match_parent". Can someone help?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.stacktips.speechtotext.MainActivity">

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/list"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            tools:listitem="@layout/row" >

        </ListView>

    </ScrollView>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/btnSpeakContainer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="#f5f5f5"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:padding="20dp">

        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/btnSpeak"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@null"
            android:padding="16dp"
            android:scaleType="fitCenter"
            android:src="@mipmap/ic_microphone_2" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@id/btnSpeak"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:text="@string/hint" />
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Add `android:fillViewport="true"` this property to ScrollView — Shreeya Chhatrala, Jul 27 '17 at 10:06
listview in scrollview isn't recommended, but if still you need this then you need to forcefully set height of list based on collective height of each cell. Check https://stackoverflow.com/a/19311197/5110536 — Usman Rana, Jul 27 '17 at 10:07

Putting the ListView inside a ScrollView means the ListView will not go to its full height. Take out the ScrollView surrounding the ListView and this should work for you :) ListView itself is scrollable.

By default, you shouldn't add a vertical scrollview inside a vertical scrollview because the parent will consume all touch events.

But you can do a work-around this by using this code

    ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.myListView);
    lv.setOnTouchListener(new ListView.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        int action = event.getAction();
        switch (action) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            // Disallow ScrollView to intercept touch events.
            v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
            break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            // Allow ScrollView to intercept touch events.
            v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
            break;
        }

        // Handle ListView touch events.
        v.onTouchEvent(event);
        return true;
    }
});

This tutorial is super cool talk about touch in android
