Can someone please help, I cant get this simple scolling feature

I want to be able to have many button and objects in my project but they all wont fit on the screen at once so i would like the user to be able to scroll down and have more appear but i cant get it to work. I tried using ScrollView but it always throws me errors. Here is what I have so far. Please, any help would be great.

Use relative layout instead of absolute layout . Here is a example from my own project.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/LoginScrollView" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#000000"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    >
<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="14dp">

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/butt1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/butt2"
            android:layout_below="@+id/butt1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/butt3"
            android:layout_below="@+id/butt2"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/butt4"
            android:layout_below="@+id/butt3"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>


</RelativeLayout>   
</ScrollView>
