Insert scrollbar into tablelayout

blackgin · by **blackgin** » Tue May 12, 2009 5:03 pm

I have a table layout and I want to add a scrollbar because it exceed the vertical resolution of the screen..
How can I do this? I tried to use <ScrollView> but the programs fails to start (it force closes)..

ScrollView is the correct answer;

Excerpt from one of my layouts:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

 
        <ScrollView
 
                android:id="@+id/widget28"
 
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 
                android:layout_below="@+id/Save"
 
                xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 
                android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
 
                android:scrollbars="vertical"
 
                android:scrollbarSize="12px"
 
                android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay"
 
                >
 
                <TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 
                        android:id="@+id/table"
 
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 
                        android:layout_below="@+id/Back"
 
                        android:stretchColumns="1" android:baselineAligned="true" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:clipChildren="true">

Maybe some of the attribs shown above arent neccessary, but except for the table-bug in android, for which i wasnt able to find a workaround yet, this works just fine.

I added this:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

     <ScrollView
 
          android:id="@+id/widget28"
 
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 
          android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
 
          android:scrollbars="vertical"
 
          android:scrollbarSize="12px"
 
          android:scrollbarStyle="insideOverlay"
 
          > 
 
..............................
 
</ScrollView>

But it doesn't work.. It says: "IllegalStateException: ScrollView can host only a direct child"

The message says all: if you have more then the mentioned table-layout in your scrollview, then you have to group all childs into one container view.

Expample:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

 
<scrollview>
 
  <tablelayout>
 
  </tablelayout>
 
  <button />
 
</scrollview>

fails; solution:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

 
<scrollview>
 
  <linearlayout>
 
    <tablelayout>
 
    </tablelayout>
 
    <button />
 
  </linearlayout>
 
</scrollview>
