Android Tablelayout Inside Scrollview

I want both the ScrollView TableLayout to have same height as the screen, but whyy table is taken only half of the screen, whereas ScrollView is taking full screen as intended. I

Solution 1:

add this line in your scrollview xml -->

     android:fillViewport="true"

This enables the child layout to to take full screen if it's layout_width & layout_height is match_parent/fill_parent. . In your case TableLayout will get the full size on using this line ..! enjoy...!

Solution 2:

Putting a linearlayout in between works but I don't know why setting some height to table view directly doesn't work.
