I am using a TableLayout. I need to have both horizontal and vertical scrolling for this layout. By default I am able to get vertical scrolling in the view but horizontal scrolling is not working.
I am using Android SDK 1.5 r3. I have already tried android:scrollbars="horizontal".
I have read on some forums that in the cupcake update, horizontal scrolling is possible.
How can I make my layout scroll in both directions?
I was able to find a simple way to achieve both scrolling behaviors.
Here is the xml for it:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical">
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="320px" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/linlay" android:layout_width="320px"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:stretchColumns="1"
android:background="#000000"/>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</ScrollView>
its too late but i hope your issue will be solve quickly with this code. nothing to do more just put your code in below scrollview.
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
//xml code
</ScrollView>
</HorizontalScrollView>
In this post Scrollview vertical and horizontal in android they talk about a possible solution, quoting:
Matt Clark has built a custom view based on the Android source, and it seems to work perfectly: http://blog.gorges.us/2010/06/android-two-dimensional-scrollview
Beware that the class in that page has a bug calculating the view's horizonal width. A fix by Manuel Hilty is in the comments:
Solution: Replace the statement on line 808 by the following:
final int childWidthMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(lp.leftMargin + lp.rightMargin, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
Since other solutions are old and either poorly-working or not working at all, I've modified NestedScrollView, which is stable, modern and it has all you expect from a scroll view. Except for horizontal scrolling.
Here's the repo: https://github.com/ultimate-deej/TwoWayNestedScrollView
I've made no changes, no "improvements" to the original NestedScrollView except for what was absolutely necessary.
The code is based on androidx.core:core:1.3.0, which is the latest stable version at the time of writing.
All of the following works:
NestedScrollView)
The problem with most of the answers here is that they only achieve vertical or horizontal scroll, BUT not diagonal (horizontal AND vertical at the same time).
The easiest way I've found to get it working is:
HorizontalScrollView and ScrollView (use whatever name, like "ScrollViewX" and "ScrollViewY").HorizontalScrollView inside the one extending ScrollView.onTouch methods to always return false (override and use performClick() too, for accessibility reasons).GestureDetector and update the scrolling of both classes with it.Creating the classes isn't really required, since you could just set an onTouch listener for both. But I believe it's better in terms of organization and it may be useful if you require more customizations later.
The only problem I've found is that, since one ScrollView is inside the other, now one of the scrollbars is only going to be visible when you scroll while being on the edge of the view.
A workaround could be: either don't use scrollbars, or make a custom view to replace said scrollbar (you set its size according to the ScrollView size and move it as the scroll is updated).
Note: I tried to describe it as much as I could. If someone needs more details, let me know
Use this:
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawHorizontalTrack="true"
Example:
<Gallery android:id="@+id/gallery"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawHorizontalTrack="true" />
You can do this by using below code
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</HorizontalScrollView>
This implementation can always display both horizontal and vertical scrollbars
activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- vertical scroll view -->
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:fadeScrollbars="false"
android:scrollbarSize="@dimen/scroll_bar_size">
<!-- horizontal scroll view hidden scroll bar -->
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="@+id/real_horizontal_scroll_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:scrollbars="none">
<!-- content view -->
<EditText
android:id="@+id/real_inside_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</HorizontalScrollView>
</ScrollView>
<!-- fake horizontal scroll bar -->
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="@+id/fake_horizontal_scroll_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:fadeScrollbars="false"
android:scrollbarSize="@dimen/scroll_bar_size">
<!-- fake content view that has width equals the real content view -->
<View
android:id="@+id/fake_inside_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="@dimen/scroll_bar_size" />
</HorizontalScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
MainActivity.java
final EditText realInsideView = findViewById(R.id.real_inside_view);
final HorizontalScrollView realHorizontalSv = findViewById(R.id.real_horizontal_scroll_view);
final View fakeInsideView = findViewById(R.id.fake_inside_view);
final HorizontalScrollView fakeHorizontalSv = findViewById(R.id.fake_horizontal_scroll_view);
realHorizontalSv.setOnScrollChangeListener(new View.OnScrollChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onScrollChange(View v, int scrollX, int scrollY, int oldScrollX, int oldScrollY) {
fakeInsideView.setMinimumWidth(realInsideView.getWidth());
fakeHorizontalSv.setScrollX(scrollX);
}
});
