You have to put all items in a root item like RelativeLayout, LinearLayout, etc. And if you want to use ScrollView as a root item, you have to declare one more item in it like RelativeLayout or LinearLayout then put all items in it.

I try to make it work as you want.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ScrollView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/ScrollView01"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/ab">

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/imageView1"
                android:layout_width="135dp"
                android:layout_height="135dp"
                android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
                android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
                android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
                android:src="@drawable/r"/>

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/rgpvtext"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        </RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

thanks for your efforts, but it is still not working, please check my editing — Puneet Kushwah, Feb 10 '15 at 08:59
Listview has its own scroll. Maybe you should remove your scrollview because its useless. Your listview will scroll when list items are added. — Jaky71, Feb 10 '15 at 09:12
