Android ScrollView (Horizontal, Vertical)

 In android, ScrollView is a kind of layout that is useful to add vertical or


horizontal scroll bars to the content which is larger than the actual size
of layouts such as linearlayout, relativelayout, framelayout, etc.
 Generally, the android ScrollView is useful when we have content that
doesn’t fit our android app layout screen. The ScrollView will enable a
scroll to the content which is exceeding the screen layout and allow users to
see the complete content by scrolling.
 The android ScrollView can hold only one direct child. In case, if we want
to add multiple views within the scroll view, then we need to include them
in another standard layout like linearlayout, relativelayout, framelayout, etc.
 To enable scrolling for our android applications, ScrollView is the best
option but we should not use ScrollView along
with ListView or Gridview because they both will take care of their own
vertical scrolling.
 In android, ScrollView supports only vertical scrolling. In case, if we want
to implement horizontal scrolling, then we need to use
a HorizontalScrollView component.
 The android ScrollView is having a property called android:fillViewport,
which is used to define whether the ScrollView should stretch it’s content to
fill the viewport or not.
