What is the right way to use two scrollviews in a single activity?

This is my current design in my main activity.
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtSubestacion"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="Subestacion"
android:textSize="18sp" />
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spSubestacion"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtClasificacion"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="Clasificacion"
android:textSize="18sp" />
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spClasificacion"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown" />
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollEventos"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="350dp"
android:paddingTop="30dp"
android:paddingBottom="10dp">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearEventos"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" />
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnRegistros"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Actualizar Registros" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
I have a second scrollview inside the first one because this one is filled with multiple labels created from code. These labels can take up a lot of space, so a scrollview is suitable for proper navigation.
The first scrollview that contains everything is so that when changing the screen in landscape mode, you can continue browsing and access all the controls that are displayed.
The problem is that when changing the screen in landscape mode, only the first scrollview works, which allows you to see all the controls correctly. However, the second scrollview showing the records cannot be moved, and therefore the records are cut.
Is there a way to freeze the first scrollview when the user wants to slide the records and allow the second scrollview to be moved?
Or is it that I should create my design differently?
Note: Everything works correctly with the screen in portrait mode. All the controls are accessible at first instance and the second scrollview can be slid correctly allowing to see the records.
I've tried working with the layout_weight property but it didn't work for me or I just didn't know how to use it.

Use this:
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<!-- Other Layout or scrollView-->
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
Android site: NestedScroll

ANDROID STUDIO- layout background (image) doesn't show

everyone, first of all, I'm with a problem in my android project. I set an image as a layout background with the appropriate width (5.5), and when I run the application it appears white background instead of the intended image. The image is in at the drawable folder, all normal.
The image has the same dimensions of the layout (5.5)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
android:background="#drawable/fundo"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/logo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:layout_marginTop="200dp"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/logo_branco" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="450dp"
android:fontFamily="#font/advent_pro_thin"
android:text="O automóvel ideal para si!"
android:textColor="#E76C00"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</RelativeLayout>

If you want to load a whole image, I'd use the approach of having an ImageView at the root ViewGroup of the layout with both dimensions set to match_parent.
This will solve the issue of the image not loading with an added benefit of being able to define scale type (like centerCrop) which enables you to have a picture with any side ratio and be sure it'll fill the screen both vertically and horizontally.
Edit:
Proposed solution:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/background"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/fundo" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/logo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:layout_marginTop="200dp"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/logo_branco" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="450dp"
android:fontFamily="#font/advent_pro_thin"
android:text="O automóvel ideal para si!"
android:textColor="#E76C00"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</RelativeLayout>

Android : Text in ForeGround of a FrameLayout (contain a googleMap)

Hello everyone
To start, sorry for my bad english
I first put you in position:
I'm using Java code for Android, in Eclipse.
My application needs to show a map (Google Maps V2) in a fragment to show the runner location. The map display is already achieved.
Here is my problem: I use a FrameLayout element, which contains my map and is therefore the whole page, however, my goal is to display over the map a text box centered at the bottom. I tried to use in the Foreground property option to set my text, but it does not work (application crash when arrived on the page of the map).
Here is my code fragment_carte:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/mapFrameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:foreground="#id/txtViewCoureur"
tools:context=".CarteFragment" >
</FrameLayout>
I can't post an image to show you what I want because it's my first post
I tried many solutions on this forum before asking my question
Thank you for your help!

Enclose the map inside a RelativeLayout and the rest of the controls in a FrameLayout. Here is an example of one app I have:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<fragment
android:id="#+id/mapview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
class="MapFragment" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/mapsearchbox"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:alpha="0.8"
android:background="#android:color/white"
android:hint="#string/map_search"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
android:inputType="text"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="30dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#android:color/black" >
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/mapsearchbtn
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:background="#android:drawable/ic_menu_close_clear_cancel" />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Analog Clock does not appear in the application

I'm trying to set a analog clock for my app but both the analog clock and the digital clock just dont appear when i run the app on my device, but if i look at the graphic view of the layout its there!
Heres my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="100" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="30" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
//Some Text Views and Edit Texts here!
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="20" >
<Space
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="2dp" />
<Button
android:text="Send"
android:id="#+id/bSendEmail"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="50" >
<Space
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="2dp" />
<AnalogClock
android:id="#+id/acClock"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:visibility="visible" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

My guess is that your layout is not scaling well to varied resolutions. Click the Preview All Screens option (in in the Graphical Layout section of Eclipse) to see if you can see the same cropping problem there. If so, you'll need to experiment with different layout weights, etc. to ensure that the layout works well across different device resolutions.

I guess problem can be about ScrollView. Try to change it and let me know result. Because I don't know for which reason its happening but sometimes with ScrollView view is getting hidden...

Android App Layout

I'm developing an android app for 2.2 ver.
My app must hav such structure:
[ Spinner here (fixed height) ]
[ ListView (not-fixed height) ]
[ ImageView (fixed-height) ]
I have to use only portrait orientation.
I use linearLayout for it. How can I calculate listView height to show spinner on the top of the screen, imageview on the bottom, and listview cover all free space, but not push others away from field of view.
It will be cool to make it dinamic for lots of screen resolutions.
Thank you

Use a relative layout to accomplish what you need.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:src="#drawable/icon" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_above="#+id/imageView1" />
</RelativeLayout>
By doing this listview will adjust its size so that it fits between the spinner and imageview on your screen

You need to use the android:layout_weight attribute on the variable-height item, so it fills the available space.
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<Spinner
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>

Here is another way to do this, using weights. This may be the easiest approach.
You can put in to the weight a percentage of the screen you would like it to take up.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Spinner
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="10"/>
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="80"></ListView>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="10"/>
</LinearLayout>
EDIT:
Now that i think about it, this will "fix" the size of all the widgets. They will be "fixed" at percentages of the screen. This will scale well with other screen sizes, but you did say you wanted ListView to not be fixed.
