Question

I had a similar problem to the issue posed by the Original Poster - how to make the listview scroll inside the scrollview - and this answer solved my problem. Disable scrolling of a ListView contained within a ScrollView

I didn't call new fragments into existing layouts or anything like that, like the OP was doing, so my code would look something like this :

Basically what I am doing is checking the length of the listview before I call it and when I call it I make it into that length. In your java class use this function:

public static void justifyListViewHeightBasedOnChildren (ListView listView) {

    ListAdapter adapter = listView.getAdapter();

    if (adapter == null) {
        return;
    }
    ViewGroup vg = listView;
    int totalHeight = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < adapter.getCount(); i++) {
        View listItem = adapter.getView(i, null, vg);
        listItem.measure(0, 0);
        totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
    }

    ViewGroup.LayoutParams par = listView.getLayoutParams();
    par.height = totalHeight + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (adapter.getCount() - 1));
    listView.setLayoutParams(par);
    listView.requestLayout();
}

And call the function like this:

justifyListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(listView);

The result is a listview with no scrollbar, the whole length of the listview being displayed, that scrolls with the scroll bar of the scrollview.
