Scrollview for Video and Text layout in Android - android

I have made one layout where I have declared video on top and followed by text below it. Now I can make the text scroll but video stays still on top. I want the video + text to be scrollable.
To achieve this, I have done it somehow but I am not convinced that it is a good approach. I have created two XML files, in one I have put the video on top and text below it. And in second, I have called this layout and made it list view with scroll. Let me know a clean method to achieve scroll for video and text both.

Try this:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<VideoView
android:id="#+id/video_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</VideoView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="#string/your_text" >
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

TextView cutting off content

I have a TextView within a ScrollView all wrapped in a LinearLayout and the end of the TextView is getting cutoff (multiple lines).
This is the XML:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:baselineAligned="false">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_description"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp"
android:text=""
android:textSize="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical" />
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
The TextView is cutting off regardless of whether the pane scrolls or not and it's driving me mad! Any help?!
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">//try this
if this doesnt solve the problem then:-
also you can try using ScrollView as a parent view.No need of that Linear layout if it just contains a single child(TextView)
Update. I 'fixed' the issue by changing the type of the fragment to work as a RecyclerFragment. Which when the fragment is added to the rest of the structure stops the cut-off!
I've inherited this app mid-development and the hand-over was...finish this app and fix the bugs, so I am finding my way through wearing a blindfold!
Thanks anyway!

Android/XML - How to align an immobile layout to top of parent and have scrollview below?

Please refer to example below. I want to have the top layout (below encased in red) to be unmoving in a scrollview in my activity. I have a scrollview as the parent layout and then I thought having a relative layout for the top one would work, and align it to the top, but that didn't really work out as it still remained within the scrollview. I would like to have the users have the red-layout box remain static when they scroll down.
I figure I would also have to put in a topMargin at the top of the scrollview or something in order to fit the redbox layout in.
XML Code posted here: http://pastebin.com/bxdREbeG
Do something like this (hand code, for reference only):
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/YourTopStaticView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"> //Or any other height you want
//Contents of the top view
</RelativeLyout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/YourTopStaticView">
//Contents of the ScrollView
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
As a side note, do not hardcode children into the ScrollView like that. Use the RecyclerView (which is an updated, modern replacement for ListView), which you will be expected to know how to use if you want to move into serious Android programming. It is actually super easy to use, once you get the hang of it :-)
You should use the ScrollView with only one child (official documentation - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ScrollView.html). According to your xml, your ScrollView is very complicated with a lot of child widgets.
The best option for you is to use a LinearLayout as the root for the whole container, a LinearLayout( or Relative) for the top layout containing the Reset and Save buttons, and a ListView for the long list that you have. ListView takes care of it's own scrolling. So you don't have to worry about that.
This will improve your code performance as well.
This should suit your needs:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/topPanel"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp">
<TextView android:id="#+id/label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="Multi TTS Implementation"/>
<Button android:id="#+id/save"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="SAVE"/>
<Button android:id="#+id/resetAll"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/save"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="RESET ALL"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<ScrollView android:id="#id/scroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_below="#id/topPanel"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:padding="5dp">
<!-- Your scrollable content here -->
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

Android layout design: image above form above button. When the keyboard appears my layout is screwed

In my application I want to have a layout like this:
I did it with a Relative Layout holding an ImageView, TableLayout and a Button. The problem is that when I open the keyboard to modify a EditText the keyboard is on top of the EditText, so the user can't see what he is writing. I want the layout to be like this when the keyboard is shown:
The user should be able to scroll up the view to see the whole image while the keyboard is shown, even if he doesn't see the EditText then, because he wants to copy some data of the image into the EditTexts. I tried to do it like this:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/buttonEditStop"
android:padding="10dip" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/stopImg"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/entry_img"
android:onClick="ImageClick" />
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/formLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/stopImg"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp" >
...
</TableLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttonEditStop"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/edit_stop"
android:onClick="EditButtonClicked"
android:src="#drawable/ic_menu_edit" />
Using this code my whole layout is screwed. I see the form on top of the image, followed by a ImageButton with the image that should be seen in the imageView.
Anyone knows how I can get a layout like the one I want?
Thanks!
To avoid the EditText to be overlapped I had to use
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
in my manifest.

Android - How to enable full page scrolling on a layout with a ListView?

I have a layout with a ListView. The list scrolls fine, but sometimes the other content on the page needs to be bigger and either the list or the other content take up too much of the screen so I need it all to scroll.
Can that be done?
Here is the layout I have so far:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<include android:id="#+id/header"
layout="#layout/header"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/view_name"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Business:"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/business_privacy"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Loading..."
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/think"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop ="5dp"
android:textColor="#color/light_best_blue"
android:paddingLeft="10px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Fill out each section below"
/>
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#+id/label"
android:textSize="20px"
>
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
What would be the way to make it easy for the user to be able to see both the text and the list even if the text takes up the whole screen? Can I make the text scrollable? It is especially bad in horizontal view so I think there must be some ux patters to make it play nicely.
Thanks for the advice!
1- Put textview which has a larger text in header of the list view so it get scroll with list...
or
2- put the textview in other scroll view with fixed size like 1/3 of the screen.
You could either make the content wrap, or wrap the content up using a HorizontalScrollView. Android docs on it can be found here.

Problem with the display of custom listview (webview in my listview)

I am having an issue that make me crazy
I have a listview with WebView inside. So I created a custom listview.
The WebView forbid me to click so I created a webviewclicklistener.
My problem was that when I display some images, my webviews are "shaking" as if it wants to load the image a thousand times.
In fact I discovered that the height size of some elements change like every seconds, that give a feeling of shake.
The only way I found to fix it is to give a layout:height value for my listview.
My new problem is that when I put for exemple 600dip, I have a scrollbar, but I can't look at the end of my listviews.
If I put like 1000dip, I don't have scroll bar and I can't see the end of my list neither.
Here is my layout
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#drawable/woodbackground"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Question" android:textSize="30px"></TextView>
<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical">
<WebView android:id="#+id/wvplquestion" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"></WebView>
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:background="#android:color/transparent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Select Answer" android:textSize="30px"></TextView>
<ListView android:id="#+id/lvquestion" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="600dip" android:prompt="#string/selectp" />
</LinearLayout>
And my custom listview layout
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="3dip">
<WebView android:id="#+id/weblistview" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></WebView>
Thanks for your help
maybe you can try to change your listview layout height. Instead of wrap content, put a fixed height. I don't know if it will be working, but you can try it. I'd a problem similar to yours and I solved it like this.
I hope it will work. Good luck ;)
Seems it mostly happens when several webviews contained into one scrollview. Seems at least first webviews should have fixed height.
