title: Scrollview can host only one direct child
body: <p>I have multiple <code>LinearLayout</code>s with a combined height that easily exceeds a device's screen height. So in order to make my layout scrollable, I tried adding in a <code>ScrollView</code>, but unfortunately I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Scrollview can host only one direct child</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I did some research, but couldn't really make sense of how to solve it, even after reading a couple of solutions. I tried a few changes, but nothing worked for me so far. Any help?</p>
