it works fine. But when I add the scroll it gives me an error (FATAL ERROR)

    03-16 00:06:18.140: E/AndroidRuntime(1215): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    03-16 00:06:18.140: E/AndroidRuntime(1215): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to   start activity ComponentInfo{android.sqlite/android.sqlite.CreatePatientActivity}: java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #3: You must supply a layout_width attribute.

All you have to do is place the LinearLayout in a ScrollView container:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
      android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        ...

    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>


Note that the wrap_content parameter is used here because the content of the LinearLayout determines the height.
