thank responding quickly! hope log helps. ian

first things first: think can vastly simplify layout using linearlayout:

<scrollview xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent">      <linearlayout                   android:orientation="vertical"                   android:layout_width="match_parent"                   android:layout_height="match_parent">          <imageview             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:scaletype="centercrop"             android:src="@drawable/fhpaint"/>          <textview             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:padding="16dp"             android:gravity="center"             android:text="@string/francisinfo"/>          <imageview             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:scaletype="centercrop"             android:src="@drawable/fhp"/>      </linearlayout>  </scrollview> 

here's example screen shot:

next, you'll need view controller, known in android world fragment. among other lifecycle methods, fragments need override oncreateview(layoutinflater inflater, viewgroup container, bundle savedinstancestate) in order display views. example:

@override public view oncreateview(layoutinflater inflater, viewgroup container, bundle savedinstancestate) {     view v = inflater.inflate(r.layout.fragment_layout, container, false);      ... other code here ...      return v; } 

once you've implemented code above, should @ least see images , text.
