Fix Dialog ScrollView Bottom Content Truncation

I’ve run into this exact issue before — let’s break down why this is happening and fix it step by step.

The Root Cause

Your ScrollView is constrained to the top of the parent (below the header) but isn’t bound to the bottom of the parent, so it doesn’t know where to stop expanding. Plus, Dialogs have default window size limits that might be cutting off content even if your layout looks correct on paper.

Step-by-Step Fixes

1. Adjust ScrollView Layout Constraints

Update your ScrollView to occupy all available vertical space between the header and the Dialog’s bottom, and enable fillViewport to ensure it properly handles content scrolling:

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/message_container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp" <!-- Change from wrap_content to 0dp -->
    android:scrollbars="none"
    android:fillViewport="true" <!-- Add this to enforce proper content sizing -->
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/icon_image_container"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" /> <!-- Add bottom constraint -->

2. Configure Dialog Window Size

Even with the layout fixed, Dialogs might not resize correctly to fit your content. Add this code when showing your Dialog to cap its height at a reasonable percentage of the screen (e.g., 80%) so it doesn’t get cut off:

Kotlin

val dialog = Dialog(requireContext())
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.your_dialog_layout)

// Tune window size to fit screen
dialog.window?.let { window ->
    val params = WindowManager.LayoutParams()
    params.copyFrom(window.attributes)
    params.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT
    // Limit height to 80% of screen to avoid off-screen content
    params.height = (resources.displayMetrics.heightPixels * 0.8).toInt()
    window.attributes = params
}

dialog.show()

Java

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(requireContext());
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.your_dialog_layout);

Window window = dialog.getWindow();
if (window != null) {
    WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
    params.copyFrom(window.getAttributes());
    params.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    params.height = (int) (getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels * 0.8);
    window.setAttributes(params);
}

dialog.show();

3. Verify Inner Layout Setup

Double-check that the inner ConstraintLayout inside your ScrollView keeps android:layout_height="wrap_content" (which it already does in your code). This lets the child layout expand to fit all content, triggering scrolling in the ScrollView when the content exceeds available space.

Why This Works

Setting layout_height="0dp" with top and bottom constraints tells the ScrollView to fill all available vertical space between the header and Dialog bottom.
fillViewport="true" ensures the ScrollView’s child layout expands to at least the height of the ScrollView, preventing empty gaps for short content and enabling smooth scrolling for long content.
Capping the Dialog’s height ensures it stays within screen bounds on small devices, while still giving enough room for your content to scroll.
