Solution 1:

Put your listViews in a vertical scroll. You can have scrollable listView inside of a vertical scroll by the following trick. use the following code and enjoy!

    private int listViewTouchAction;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        //...

        setListViewScrollable(myListView1);
        setListViewScrollable(myListView2);
    }

    private void setListViewScrollable(final ListView list) {
            list.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                    listViewTouchAction = event.getAction();
                    if (listViewTouchAction == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
                    {
                        list.scrollBy(0, 1);
                    }
                    return false;
                }
            });
            list.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener() {
                @Override
                public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view,
                        int scrollState) {
                }

                @Override
            public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
                    int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
                if (listViewTouchAction == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
                {
                    list.scrollBy(0, -1);
                }
            }
        });
    }

listViewTouchAction is a global integer value.

Solution 2:

It is not possible to have a ListView inside ScrollView (since the ListView is also a scrollable component) this is why your ListView is cropped to the screen.

If you need to display several List on screen to let user select something, you may use Spinner instead of List
