Why doesn't my ScrollView scroll?

SUMMARY

The issue with the ScrollView not scrolling was due to the incorrect height setting of the RadioGroup. The user initially set the RadioGroup's height to 721dp, which prevented the ScrollView from functioning properly. The solution was to change the RadioGroup's height to android:layout_height="wrap_content", allowing the ScrollView to scroll as intended. This adjustment ensures that the ScrollView can accommodate the dynamic content height.

TL;DR
I've used a ConstrainedLayout within a ScrollView and it's not scrolling at all.
Hi everyone

I've used a ConstrainedLayout in a ScrollView, and it won't scroll at all. Does anyone know that I've done wrong?

I've tried making the height 0dp and removing both instances of app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent", but it doesn't help. Below is the xml.

Thanks

I found the error.

The height of the radio group needed to be:
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
