This is my layout and I expected to see a red background (because linear1 have background red and have properties to fill the parent) , and two others layout with over the linear1 with green and blue bacgroudns
but what I actually see is black bacground from the scrollview and green and blue from linear2 and linear3 but no red backgrund from linear1
namely the linear is acting like android:layout_height="wrap_content" is set not android:layout_height="match_parent"
any ideas ?
