In this Android tip, I am going to show you to make a layout scrollable. When you place many elements in an interface or you have many lines of text in a TextView, some elements or part of the text will be invisible as the size of the screen is not big enough to view all elements or text. This problem can be solved by making the layout scrollable to allow the user to scroll the layout and see the rest elements or text.

<?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:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:orientation="vertical"
     android:background="@drawable/backstylelogin"
    
    	 >
    	<ScrollView
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     >
  	
<LinearLayout
       android:id="@+id/relative1"
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="fill_parent"
       android:orientation="vertical" 
       android:background="#ffffff"
       
       >
  	<TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtdes"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="5dip"
       	
        />
  		
  	 <RadioGroup
        android:id="@+id/radioips"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
   
        
        <RadioButton
          android:id="@+id/radiopublicip"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text="@string/radio_publicip"
          android:checked="true"
           />
          
       <RadioButton
          android:id="@+id/radiolocalip"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text="@string/radio_localip" 
          />
   
   
     </RadioGroup>	
      <Button
        android:id="@+id/btok"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:onClick="saveConfig"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/bt_ok"
        android:background="@drawable/state"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dip"
        />    
      
      </LinearLayout>

      </ScrollView>
  
  
  </RelativeLayout>
