Scrollview not working for Relative Layout

Question

I am trying to populate a Relative layout with 4 card views in it. Each cardview consists one image and a text view. I wrapped all the card views in a relative layout and the relative layout in a scroll view. It's not working. If I remove scrollview, its working fine. Tried by putting scrollview inside the relative layout. But didnt work Code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Scrollview
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
     xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:fillViewport="true"
     android:layout_height="match_parent">

   <RelativeLayout
      android:id="@+id/activity_main"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:background="#659D32"
      android:paddingBottom="16dp"
      android:paddingLeft="16dp"
      android:paddingRight="16dp"
      android:orientation="vertical"
      android:paddingTop="16dp"
      tools:context="com.example.MainActivity">

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    app:cardCornerRadius="5dp"
    android:id="@+id/cardview_1"
    app:cardElevation="10dp"
    app:cardMaxElevation="15dp">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="match_parent">


        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="170dp"
            android:src="@drawable/img_1"
            android:id="@+id/cardImage_bang"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_below="@+id/cardImage_1"
            android:id="@+id/cardTitle_1"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:text="Text1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    </RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView

ScrollView contains only one child, so make ensure that your all things should be inside the your first relative layout. — ariful islam arif

Hope this will help you.. (this snippet worked in my case)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp"
    android:background="@color/bg"
    android:paddingRight="5dp">

    <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:padding="10dp"
            android:weightSum="1">

        <!-- put entire thing here -->

    </RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
