Answer 1

The answer is simple and I am surprised it has yet to be answered here.

Use a Header View or/and Footer View on the list itself. Don't mix a ScrollView with a ListView or anything that can scroll. It's meant to be used with headers and footers :)

Essentially, take all the content above your ListView, put it in another .xml file as a layout and then in code inflate it and add it to the list as a header view.

i.e.

View header = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.header, null);
View footer = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.footer, null);
listView.addHeaderView(header);
listView.addFooterView(footer);
