Why is ScrollView creating a gap in my activity?
I used the following code to display a series of image Buttons vertically. I can successfully scroll through the images that I created but there's a gap in the middle of the screen that I can't fix. I believe that the error stems from the LinearLayout I used but switching that out with a relative or contained layout that didn't change anything.
My code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/homepbckrnd">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

<ImageButton

Remove android:layout_marginTop="229dp" from your imageButton2 as by doing that you are applying a top margin of 229dp on your image which is causing this issue for you.
Thank you so much!
