I have a Dialog implemented with scrollview and a multiline edittext item in the scrollview. I see that I can use the scrollbar in the edittext as the scrollview will take over it. Can they co-exist and work together?

Our app (WordPress for Android) uses a ScrollView for the new blog post view. The issue is that if a user writes a lengthy blog post in the EditText, they are unable to scroll inside of the EditText because the ScrollView seems to be taking over the scrolling action, even when you are in the EditText.
Here's the layout XML (the EditText in question is @id/content):

I have an issue with EditText when it's wrapped in ScrollView.
Please see the following layout setup:
CODE:............
There's nothing special about this layout. I just want the EditText inside ScrollView to be scrollable when I entered more than 5 lines of text.
I tested this layout with both Eclair and Froyo and Eclair seemed working fine, but Froyo didn't really work at all. Was there any change on ScrollView?
ScrollView api says that I can put EditText(or TextView) inside of ScrollView to have this kind of functionality, so I guess that I did make a mistake or missed something important.
Our app (WordPress for Android) uses a scrollview for the new post view, where a user enters in their new blog post. There's quite a few fields on this view, including a large EditText for the post content field.
It appears that when an EditText is in a ScrollView, the ScrollView takes over the scrolling action, so the user can't scroll within the EditText area if they are writing a large post. What can be done so that scrolling will work both within the EditText and the ScrollView?
Here is the layout xml for this view, The EditText that needs the scrolling is @id/content:

I am trying to make a non-editable EditText that is placed in a ScrollView and scrolling is controlled programmatically (when a left/right fling is detected).
Here's my simple layout:
CODE:..........
And here is my simple program:
CODE:.............
So, to explain it simply, I have two custom simplegesture classes that I attached to the EditText and the ScrollView. For the EditText, I'm trying to detect a left/right fling and when detected, I'm scrolling the it up 1 page up/down. The custom simplegesture attached to the ScrollView is to disable finger scrolling.
Here's a screen shot after a right fling was done: http://img830.imageshack.us/i/textcut.png/
I kinda works right now but I have two questions:
How do I control the scroll so that lines won't get "cut-off" (please refer to the picture above where the first line on the screen is a bit "cuf-off"). Why when I scroll the page up/down programmatically, the EditText is auto select-all (please refer to the picture above where the whole screen turns orange after scrolling)? Why when I changed MyGestureDetector to detect fling on the Y-axis (vertical fling) and programmatically scroll the EditText, it doesnt' work? It wouldn't work even if I made the change in ScrollGestureDetector too. Does it have something to do with the behaviour of the ScrollView?
I am having problem with the loswet 2 editText fields. They are not clearly visible. They are broken. Here is my layout file. Please let me know if anybody finds out the problem.

I am having a scrollview problem. There are 2 EditText fields which are broken.

I must be overlooking something real simple here, but i think i'm trying to do something fairly basic.. Simply retain the scrollbar position of a ScrollView on orientation change...
Here is the code for my onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState.. sView is the container for the ScrollView layout. Within my scrollview is a linearlayout with a lot of textviews.
CODE:............
If I set a Toast with the values of sViewX and sViewY on the Restore, the values are kept and correct.
I just tried to do a sView.scrollTo(0,150); in my onCreate.. just to see if that would open the activity at 150px down, and it didn't. I think my issue has to do with the .scrollTo method.
I want some of the goodies in a ListView, like being able to use a ListAdapter, and item selection, etc, but I don't want the ScrollView portion of it. I want to implement that part myself, in a different way (why or how I do this isn't really the point of this question, so please don't ask "why"). Is there a way to have a ListView that's not in a ScrollView or has the scrolling disabled?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy app uses a TabHost containing one tab with a ListView and another tab with a simple form. When the keyboard is slid out in order to write into the form fields, I don't get automagic scroll bars added to the LinearLayout around my form elements.
The resource xml follows.
CODE:................
I have a standard ListView. It's not displaying the scrollbar track thumb though. Is there some special setting you need to set in order to show the scrollbars? My definition looks like this:
CODE:............
The listview has data, and it has enough items to scroll.
I am working on adding vertical and horizontal scrollbars in a custom drawn View. I have overridden the compute*ScrollOffset, compute*ScrollRange, etc methods and have enabled the scrollbars by called set*ScrollBarEnabled. However, I do not see the scrollbars in my View, even after a call to scrollBy, which according to the documentation calls awakenScrollbars (I assumed awakenScrollbars is not required as the scrollbars do not auto-fade - isScrollbarFadingEnabled returns false).
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the new official Twitter app, the scrollbars in all the ListViews the app uses are hidden unless the user is scrolling through the list.
When you start scrolling, the scrollbars appear. When you stop, they fade out with an animation until they are gone completely.
I can't seem to find anything in the documentation that indicates this as being a standard feature.
Is this something included in the API? If not, anyone know how this might be done?
Adding an image on EditText works fine. However, copying an image is another problem. When I insert an image on EditText by using ImageSpan it shows correctly, but I copy inserted image, EditText shows me only 'obj'.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want an EditText to look like TextView but still behave like EditText. I've tried applying TextView style to my EditText in my layout.xml file, like this:
CODE:............
But I get an error within xml editor: "Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'style' with value '@android:style/ Widget_TextView')." It is strange because @android:style/ Widget_TextView definitively exists - I double checked it in code via android.R.style.Widget_TextView. Another strange thing is that I don't get android:style offered in the xml editor while typing? There is android:id, android:text and everything else.. but not android:style?
I consider the hard way (making EditText look like TextView) to be: extending EditText and overriding it's onDraw method.
SmokedGlass is probably my favorite theme out there, but it drives me nuts not having the scroll bars in any of the windows. Is there any way to turn them back on?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using an EditText. Is it possible to have a part of text uneditable and the rest editable in the same EditText?
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I put a TextView before an EditText element in a LinearLayout, the EditText does not show. When I don't, it does.
I've narrowed the problem down to the TextView's layout_width attribute. If I give it "wrap_content", it works, but doesn't "block" down, and it appears on the same line as the EditText.

Having a problem in Eclipse with regards to an XML file. Eclipse complains that android:scrollbars and android:fadingEdge do not allow Strings. I checked the Android developer site and they do in fact accept strings in the xml file. A related question posed had the problem where there was a missing :android after xmlns. As you can see from the code the line beginning with xmlns is correct I believe. Here is the complete file contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<com.example.todolist.TodoListItemView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:scrollbars="verticle"
android:textColor="@color/notepad_text"
android:fadingEdge="verticle"
I need to set the TextView maximum height (either using maxHeight or maxLines). And if there are more lines of text the scrollbars should be shown. What markup should I use for this? Initial idea was to wrap TextView with ScrollView, but ScrollView has no maxHeight attribute.

I have this at the top of my application. When the application starts, the EditText is orange highlighted and has a cursor in it; when the EditText is tapped, the soft keyboard pops up. The user uses it to type into the EditText.
However, when they click the Button, my onClick method fires and does everything it's supposed to, however the soft keyboard stays on screen and the EditText is still highlighted with its cursor.
I also have, at the top of the Button onclick: findViewById(R.id.name).clearFocus();
In spite of this, the EditText does not seem to clear its focus. How do I make the button actually act as if it is submitting the form?
Also, I do not transition to a different Activity on the click of the Button. I suppose that is the typical case, and probably the reason why they don't bother hiding the keyboard. However I want to keep the search box and button at the top of the screen, so I just dynamically fill and add views to the screen when the Button is pressed. How can I achieve my desired behavior?

I'm having trouble with something that works in the Notepad example.
Here's the code from the NotepadCodeLab/Notepadv1Solution:
CODE:.................
This code seems to work fine. But just to be clear, I ran the adb utility and run sqlite3 I inspected the schema as follows:
CODE:...............
All seems good to me.
Now on to My App, which as far as I can see is basically the same with a few minor changes. I've simplified and simplified my code, but the problem persists.
CODE:..............
When I run my app, I get a RuntimeException and the following prints in LogCat from my Log.e() statement:
LogCat Message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: column '_id' does not exist
So, back to sqlite3 to see what's different about my schema:
CODE:.................
I don't see how I'm missing the '_id'.
Can anyone point out what I've done wrong?
One thing that's different between my app and the Notepad example is that I started by creating my application from scratch using the Eclipse wizard while the sample app comes already put together. Is
there some sort of environmental change I need to make for a new app to use a sqlite database?
"android:scrollbars" are used in XML layout file to declare whether a view having scrollbar. I would like do it programmatic. according to api doc, there seems no direct peer method. Should I have to read a attr xml file? http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html

View 2 Replies View RelatedI saw on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html that my app can declare a permission:
.....................
However, what if com.me.app.myapp is not yet installed on the device?
[a] I tested with "adb install", and Foo was installed on the device without incident. The only thing I see is "W/PackageManager( 62): Unknown permission com.me.app.myapp.permission.DEADLY_ACTIVITY in package com.foo.Foo"
[b] if I upload Foo into Android Market, but the user has not yet installed "myapp", will he be able to see Foo in market?
[c] if the answer to [b] is yes (I really hope so, or else it will be a major bummer ...) what message will the user see regarding com.me.app.myapp.permission.DEADLY_ACTIVITY? Since the description of this permission is declared only in "myapp", without "myapp" installed, will the user just see the name of the permission, which probably doesn't mean much?
If [c] is true, would this be a weakness to the Android permission system/Android Market? As long as I can fool the user to install my app first, I would be able to gain permissions that the user would not have otherwise granted me (had he known the true nature of such permissions).
