If ScrollView only supports one direct child, how am I supposed to make a whole layout scrollable?

Just wrap your current LinearLayout with ScrollView. So it should be smth like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="match_parent">    <LinearLayout        android:orientation="vertical"        android:layout_width="match_parent"        android:layout_height="wrap_content">        <ImageButton ... />        <TextView ... />        <TextView ... />        <TextView ... />    </LinearLayout></ScrollView>

The direct child of ScrollView should be another layout that supports multiple children, such as RelativeLayout or LinearLayout.

Worked perfectly.

Here is my layout as an example of scrolling a content item with two headers above it that stay stationary.
