    </ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

this is my xml file and scrollview is not scrolling.

Can anyone please suggest a solution?

I am using a custom view for a listview using a custom adapter

Answer 1

It is not recommended to use multiple Scrollable view inside one another. You are using ScrollView inside List View and that you should not do. It is a bad practice.

Instead you use Dynamic Layout Addition via view.add()

Answer 2

Height of your scroll view is 200dp. Since 200dp fits in the screen there is nothing to scroll. You can try setting the height to

android:layout_height="match_parent"

or

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

if height of your UI items are larger then screen size.
