I've searched around for solutions to this problem, and the only answer I can find seems to be "don't put a ListView into a ScrollView". I have yet to see any real explanation for why though. The only reason I can seem to find is that Google doesn't think you should want to do that. Well I do, so I did.

So the question is, how can you place a ListView into a ScrollView without it collapsing to its minimum height?

Before it was not possible. But with the release of new Appcompat libraries and Design libraries, this can be achieved.

You just have to use NestedScrollView https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/NestedScrollView.html

I am not aware it will work with Listview or not but works with RecyclerView.

Code Snippet:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView 
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

You should never use listview inside scrollview. Instead you should use NestedScrollView as parent and RecyclerView inside that.... as it handles a lot of scrolling issues
