Hi,

I am trying to add scrollview to linearlayout but it showing error like
"ScrollView can have only one direct child".. I tried like this
Scrollview scrollview = new ScrollView(context)

linearlayout.removeAllViews();
linearlayout.addview(listview)
scrollView.addView(linearlayout);

Can anybody point out where i am doing mistake.

hi try this...

class app extends Scrollview{
Linearlayout...
..
.
}

you should keep this in mind...
ScrollView s;
s.add(linearlayout);
s.add(someotherview); if you write like this means it will show error :SCROLLVIEW HAVE DIRECTCHILD

write like this :
s.add(linearlayout);
linearlayout.add(remaining views);

if this dont help for you then,
post Your Complete Code....i will try on that...

Hi,
I tried as you said but it showing this error now

08-12 11:13:46.907: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1628): java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first.
I extented class with ScrollView instead of linearlayout

listview.removeAllView();
listView.setListAdapter(adapter);
linearlayout.removeAllViews();
linearlayout.addView(listView);
scrollview.addView(linearlayout);

I dont understand this. I add more content to the LinearLayout not to the ScrollView.... ?
And I also call removeAllViews().
