How to use ScrollView in Android? - android

I have an XML layout file, but the text is more than fits into the screen size. What do I need to do in order to make a ScrollView?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Just make the top-level layout a ScrollView:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:stretchColumns="1">
<!-- everything you already have -->
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>


How to use ScrollView
Using ScrollView is not very difficult. You can just add one to your layout and put whatever you want to scroll inside. ScrollView only takes one child so if you want to put a few things inside then you should make the first thing be something like a LinearLayout.
<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">
<!-- things to scroll -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
If you want to scroll things horizontally, then use a HorizontalScrollView.
Making the content fill the screen
As is talked about in this post, sometimes you want the ScrollView content to fill the screen. For example, if you had some buttons at the end of a readme. You want the buttons to always be at the end of the text and at bottom of the screen, even if the text doesn't scroll.
If the content scrolls, everything is fine. However, if the content is smaller than the size of the screen, the buttons are not at the bottom.
This can be solved with a combination of using fillViewPort on the ScrollView and using a layout weight on the content. Using fillViewPort makes the ScrollView fill the parent area. Setting the layout_weight on one of the views in the LinearLayout makes that view expand to fill any extra space.
Here is the XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"> <--- fillViewport
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview"
android:layout_height="0dp" <---
android:layout_weight="1" <--- set layout_weight
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:padding="6dp"
android:text="hello"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content" <--- wrap_content
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#android:drawable/bottom_bar"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Accept" />
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Refuse" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
The idea for this answer came from a previous answer that is now deleted (link for 10K users). The content of this answer is an update and adaptation of this post.


There are two options. You can make your entire layout to be scrollable or only the TextView to be scrollable.
For the first case,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<ImageView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
android:tint="#55ff0000" >
</ImageView>
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name"

</TableRow>
<Relativelayout>
</Relativelayout>
</TableLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
or, as I said you can use scrollView for TextView alone.


A ScrollView is a special type of FrameLayout in that it allows users to scroll through a list of views that occupy more space than the physical display.I just add some attributes .
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:scrollbars = "vertical"
android:scrollbarStyle="insideInset"
>
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:stretchColumns="1"
>
<!-- Add here which you want -->
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>


As said above you can put it inside a ScrollView... and if you want the Scroll View to be horizontal put it inside HorizontalScrollView... and if you want your component (or layout) to support both put inside both of them like this:
<HorizontalScrollView>
<ScrollView>
<!-- SOME THING -->
</ScrollView>
</HorizontalScrollView>
and with setting the layout_width and layout_height ofcourse.


Put your TableLayout inside a ScrollView Layout.That will solve your problem.


To scroll data in text view you can use this to your text view.
and add
and for anything other layout you can just add scroll view on layout as people are saying above.
/**
android:scrollable=true at textview in xml layout.
TextView txtScroll = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt1);
txtScroll.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

With TableLayout margin, TableRows bleed

I'm creating a Settings screen, a ScrollView with a TableLayout inside. I don't want my settings TableRows to appear squished, so I'm setting each with an 8dp margin. However, this means the content inside seems to bleed over (on the right side in particular).
It seems as if the width of the table row does not exclude its own margin's width, which is messing up the width of its contents when they try to fill_parent for their own width. How do I fix this?
An image example - see the checkboxes on the right side:
My layout XML:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/settings">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="0">
<TableRow android:layout_margin="#dimen/row_padding">
<TextView
android:text="Settings"
android:gravity="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow android:layout_margin="0dp">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/row_height">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="No margin"
android:id="#+id/textView" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:text="Explanation"
android:id="#+id/textView2" />
</LinearLayout>
<CheckBox
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/checkBox"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow android:layout_margin="#dimen/row_padding">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="8dp margin"
android:id="#+id/textView3" />
<CheckBox
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/checkBox2"
android:layout_column="1"
android:checked="false" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

Instead of putting margin directly on the TableRow tag you can add margin on the contents i.e table cells,
I have modified your code. Please have a look at.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"

try the following
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:gravity="right"

android:layout_gravity is not relevant in a LinearLayout. It is meant for a FrameLayout. It means "what should be my gravity in relation to my (FrameLayout) father". android:gravity on the other hand means "what is the gravity inside me" and it applies to different views differently (like in a TextView it will align the text according to the gravity).
I think you could probably throw out half of the layouts you are using to display views (it's kind of confusing and hard to read) by simplifying your layout scheme and use just using a RelativeLayout for alignment issues (align to parent or to other views) and LinearLayout for grouping vertical and horizontal groups.

use tablelayout an then use tablerowlayout. and put your checkboxes.

Long text in TextView

I want to display a long text in a TextView. This is my XML:
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dip"
android:text="#string/text" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/gender"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="#string/lorem" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
And this is how it looks like:
The long text doesn't fit. What do I have to change?

<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="100dip"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:padding="5dip"
android:text="#string/text" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/gender"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="#string/lorem" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>

Depends on the style, that you want to achive: If Its okay to have multible-Lines you can just add in xml
android:singleLine="false"
or
android:lines="2"
If not you can allow to scroll it horizontally with
android:scrollHorizontally="true"

Android: Table Layout alignment

I want 'Duration' and 'Cost' Right aligned. I tried this code but it's not working.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.markupartist.android.widget.ActionBar
android:id="#+id/actionBar"
style="#style/ActionBar" />
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TableRow
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="Date" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="Couse Name" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Duration" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:paddingRight="5dip"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Cost" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
layout_gravity="right" not working.
I trird gravity="ritght" but that's also not working.
I also want each column to center aligned.

give weight for Table row and all the text views...
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TableRow
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="Date" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="Couse Name" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="Duration" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:paddingRight="5dip"
android:text="Cost" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>

Linear Layout is fine... Check this..
`
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TableRow
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Date" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Couse Name" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Duration" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:paddingRight="5dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Cost" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
`
Change each layout_weight as you wish.. Hope this helps.. Good luck...

Hey you can use Relative layout so you can place your text views any where you want...
below is a sample code:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/usage"
android:layout_marginTop="220dip"
android:layout_marginLeft="45dip"
android:layout_marginRight="15dip"
android:typeface="serif"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" "
android:textColor="#030900"/>
</RelativeLayout>

For the same kind of layout, its better to use RelativeLayout.
Why to use RelativeLayout?
Just because we can set views by using below attributes:
android:layout_toRightOf
android:layout_toLeftOf
android:layout_alignParentRight
android:layout_alignParentLeft
android:layout_below
and many more attributes RelativeLayout provides to set views.
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="Date"
android:id="#+id/txtDate"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="Couse Name"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/txtDate" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Duration"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/txtCost" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:paddingRight="5dip"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Cost"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:id="#+id/txtCost" />
</RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>
</TableLayout>
can anyone tell me where i have done wrong.
thanks in advance.

Try this, android:layout_weight="1" and change layout_height="match_parent" to android:layout_height="match_parent" inside lsitview and the below layoutview
<ListView
android:id="#id/android:list"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
android:layout_weight="1">
</ListView>
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/enq"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="*Marked services do not run on sunday."
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textColor="#800000"
android:typeface="serif" />
</LinearLayout>
P.S. For make a space of listview lager than the below layout use Proportion of android:layout_weight to 1:3(Listview 1: the belowlayout 3) or any Propotion you want

Jusy give the listview height like
android:layout_height="100dp"
