In such cases, the scrolling functionality of one or all scrollable controls gets enabled and the Android application cannot identify that scroll event of which control is to be handled first. Here, UI may get stuck in some scenarios. The ideal behavior expected is when the user touches the parent scroll view, only the parent view’s scroll event is called and when the user scrolls the child scroll view, the child view’s scroll event is called.

Below is the solution to handle the scroll event of both the controls without any glitch. Example We have a layout that has a ScrollView as parent layout and it contains some TextViews, ImageViews and ListView as child control...
