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

My drag & drop is not working in Android Studio

As you can see on the upper image, there are align options "to RightOf=button", "below=button" when you drag something, but when I drag something nothing like that is shown. Can anyone help me fix that?
<?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"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/activity_main">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_witaj_uzytkowniku"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/witaj_uzytkowniku" />
</RelativeLayout>

Honestly, I prefer to use ConstraintLayout as the root. I believe it is much easier to use with the drag and drop tool.
When using it make sure that all objects are connected to each other(or the parent) at least once vertically and once horizontally.
How this looks in the code:
<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">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView9"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:text="TextView"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView10"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:text="TextView"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#+id/textView9"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/textView9" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
You can also adjust the distances using the side panel.
To use the layout you just need to type Constraint layout in the Pallete and drag it (if it is not installed, there will be a download)

Set position of your textview then try to add another view by dragging
<?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"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/activity_main">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_witaj_uzytkowniku"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop ="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="#string/witaj_uzytkowniku" />
</RelativeLayout>

I think instead of Relativelayout, you should use the CoordinatorLayout.
And if you continue with Relativelayout then go to file invalidate and restart your Android studio if this is cache related issue then resolved it.

Use Coordinator Layout to work. RelativeLayout is more of coding layout..

ListView in Fragment not covering full Parent

I have a ListView in a Fragment which isn't covering the whole Parent when the List isn't fully populated.
The Problem is the scrolling behaviour of the ListView, I can only browse in the small piece of window the ListView is initially loaded in.
(4 Entries or more do occupy the entire Parent, with less entries the problem happens)
Fragment:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:divider="#null"
/> </LinearLayout>
Main XML:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
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:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frame_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
/>
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:itemBackground="#color/bgBottomNavigation"
app:itemIconTint="#android:color/white"
app:itemTextColor="#android:color/white"
app:menu="#menu/navigation" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
The ListView gets populated via Volley + JSON with an Adapter for the ListView. Comment if you need the Code.
When I'm trying to put the ListViews height on "match_parent" the whole screen is occupied by the ListView, but it isn't scrollable anymore.
What can I do?
EDIT:
Coordinator Layout - This is the Code of the Frame Coordinator with the Bottom Navigation in it:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout 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:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frame_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:itemBackground="#color/bgBottomNavigation"
app:itemIconTint="#android:color/white"
app:itemTextColor="#android:color/white"
app:menu="#menu/navigation" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

You could set a minimum height attribute to your listView and adjust to what suits you.
Eg. to set it to 20dp, add android:minHeight="20dp" to your listView attributes.
Best solution would be to wrap all the contents of the CoordinatorLayout inside a layout you can control yourself, like a ConstraintLayout. In that case you would align the FrameLayout (and the fragments it handles) between your other components and everything would be scrollable and clickable. A mock of this solution would be:
<CoordinatorLayout>
<ConstraintLayout height="match_parent">
<BottomNavigation bottomToBottomOf="parent" />
<FrameLayout height="0dp"
topToTopOf="parent"
bottomToTopOf="bottomNavigation" />
</ConstraintLayout>
</CoordinatorLayout>

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...

How to set specific height at run time for Sliding layout?

I am building an app that uses this library:https://github.com/umano/AndroidSlidingUpPanel to create a panel that slides on from the bottom of the screen when a user clicks an item in a listview.
However i dont want the slide up panel to take up the entire screen. I need there to be a gap at the top, between the panel and the action bar, of exactly 80dp.
I have tried everything i can think of (putting a spacer there with a transparant background, using layoutParams (gives error), etc). But nothing seems to work.
If someone could give me some suggestions as to what i could try next, i would much appreciate it.
The xml layouts are below.
Thanks for your time.

What about wrapping your SlidingUpPanelLayout in another layout, say FrameLayout and adding some good old paddingTop to the latter?

I have found a workaround. Draw the background of the pane transparent and put a padding top, but first the library must be modified like it's written here:
https://github.com/umano/AndroidSlidingUpPanel/issues/4
Hope this helps somebody in the future :)
