Answer 1

It can be done by wrapping the view into ConstraintLayout and using layout_constraintHeight_max attribute.

    

        ...

    

In the example above, the parent ConstraintLayout height is limited to 200dp, and the child ScrollView height wraps the content till it's less than 200dp. Note that app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0" aligns the child ScrollView at the top of the parent, otherwise it will be centered.
