Why doesn't my ScrollView scroll?

In summary, the conversation discusses a problem with a ConstrainedLayout in a ScrollView not being able to scroll. The person has tried adjusting the height and removing constraints, but it did not help. They also provide the XML code for reference. However, the solution is found to be setting the height of the radio group to "wrap_content".

TL;DR Summary
I've used a ConstrainedLayout within a ScrollView and it's not scrolling at all.
Hi everyone

I've used a ConstrainedLayout in a ScrollView, and it won't scroll at all. Does anyone know that I've done wrong?

I've tried making the height 0dp and removing both instances of app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent", but it doesn't help. Below is the xml.

Thanks

I found the error.

The height of the radio group needed to be:
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

FAQ: Why doesn't my ScrollView scroll?

Why is my ScrollView not scrolling?

One common reason for a ScrollView not scrolling is that the content inside the ScrollView does not exceed the height of the ScrollView itself. Make sure that the content is larger than the ScrollView in order for scrolling to be enabled.

How can I enable scrolling in my ScrollView?

To enable scrolling in a ScrollView, you need to make sure that the content inside the ScrollView is larger than the ScrollView itself. This can be achieved by adding more content or increasing the size of the existing content.

Why is my ScrollView scrolling horizontally instead of vertically?

If your ScrollView is scrolling horizontally instead of vertically, it may be due to the layout or content inside the ScrollView. Check the orientation of the ScrollView and ensure that the content is set up to scroll in the desired direction.

Can I customize the scrolling behavior of my ScrollView?

Yes, you can customize the scrolling behavior of a ScrollView by adjusting properties such as scroll speed, scroll sensitivity, or scroll direction. You can also implement custom scrolling animations or effects to enhance the user experience.

What are some common pitfalls to avoid when working with ScrollViews?

Some common pitfalls to avoid when working with ScrollViews include not setting the correct content size, nesting multiple ScrollViews within each other, or using ScrollView within a layout that does not support scrolling. Make sure to carefully design and test your ScrollView to avoid these issues.
