ScrollView

Layout container for a view hierarchy that can be scrolled by the user, allowing it to be larger than the physical display. A ScrollView is a FrameLayout, meaning you should place one child in it containing the entire contents to scroll; this child may itself be a layout manager with a complex hierarchy of objects. A child that is often used is a LinearLayout in a vertical orientation, presenting a vertical array of top-level items that the user can scroll through.

Usage

<ScrollView width="fill_parent" height="fill_parent">
    <TextView text="#{hugeAmountOfText}" width="fill_parent" />
</ScrollView>

    <LinearLayout orientation="vertical" width="fill_parent">
