Android :: Making Child ListView Scroll
Jan 29, 2010
I am trying to make a terminal type app that is wider than the actual android screen. A listview is great except that I don't want the text to wrap. If the text is wider than the screen I want it to print the full text and then the user can scroll over horizontally if they want to see what was printed off the screen. Just FYI this is for ascii type tables. I have followed this example:
It works great as far as horizontal text goes it does exactly what I want but I am unable to get the ListView inside the custom LinearLayout to actually scroll veritcally. I have tried passing the Y coordinates from the onScroll method to mListView such as: mListView.scrollBy(0, distanceY); but that seems to move the custom LinearLayout window instead of just scrolling the ListView. I can tell that the ListView is not scrolling because the window moves without the vertical scroll bar of the ListView moving.

I know it's considered taboo to place a ListView inside a scrolling container, so is there any "proper" way to accomplish scrolling of a container that has a ListView child in it? An example layout would look something like:
Header
---
"Sub" header
---
ListView with list items
---
Footer
Header and Footer need to remain static on the screen, and the middle content (Subheader and ListView) should scroll between them. I can't have just the ListView scrollable, because the subheader takes up too much space. As it is currently, the Header comes from an <include />, the Subheader contains several views including an Image and some text, and the ListView (actually part of a ViewFlipper) would contain an indeterminate number of items. The Footer has a couple buttons/tabs that are used to control the ViewFlipper (only one of the views in the flipper is a ListView).
The only way I can think of to accomplish this efficiently would be to place the Subheader inside the ListView as the first item -- is there any better way?

I have a ListView which is embedded in a ScrollView. I populate the rest of the Views in the ScrollView, then populate the ListView. Unfortunately yhe ScrollView doesn't size itself to accomodate the items in the ListView. Am I missing something? Is there a way to get the View to resize itself to accomodate the contents of the ListView?
Here is the View in question :

Here is the element view used to render the items in the list :

I have a WebView inside the ScrollView. The content of WebView dyanamically changes when it displays different html page. I have the following issue: For example I have A.html, and B.html. The content of B.html is larger than A.html, so the page is longer. When WebView load B.html, the ScrollView stretches its size to enable itself scroll for B.html, then if I go back to A.html, ScrollView doesn't resize itself. (The scroll area is exceed the content of A.html) What I want to have, is dynamic change the scroll area of scroll view to fit the webview's content.

I have a two column TableLayout as the only child of a scroll view. The first column contains TextViews ('labels') and the second column contains EditText/Spinner/DateWidget etc ('values').
Even though I have have specified android:layout_width="fill_parent" for TableLayout, TableRow & all widgets (in 'values' column).
The screen looks perfect when the activity is created. However, when one types a really long value in the EditText, the 'values' column goes beyond the visible screen area.

I have a HorizontalScrollView with a series of CompoundButtons. I want to find the (x,y) for a given child view. I have tried using:
getLocationOnScreen()
getLocalVisibleRect()
getChildVisibleRect()
like this:
View tmpView = this.findViewById(viewId);
Rect hitRect = new Rect();
tmpView.getLocalVisibleRect(hitRect);
the hitRect is always 0,0 - 0,0.
I need the x,y mainly to scroll to a particular child view. Any help is greatly appreciated.

- 2 input boxes where the user can enter criteria to search for - 1 search button - when the search button is clicked, a search is performed and on the same page the matches are shown *below* the 2 input boxes and search button. - the results can be quite a few (say up to 50), which won't fit all on the viewable part of the screen, so the user has to be able to scroll down in the results. - when the user scrolls down over the results, the 2 input boxes + search button should of course also scroll up out of sight.
Basically the behaviour you get when you for example do a google search on google.com. But, for clarity: I don't want to use the WebView. Note that there should be no scrollbar for the results only (that can be done easily with a standard ListView), the all needs to scroll as a whole. The reason I want this behavior is that I don't want to direct the user to a next screen with the search results; that would be so annoying having to go back to the "search" screen all the time if you want to enter another search criteria, like if you figured out you made a typo.............................

I would like to catch horizontal scrolling in ListView. I don't wont to scroll ListView content, I need an event only. I use GestureDetector, and in onScroll() method I can figure out when user scrolls in horizontal direction. This part works. But my problem is ListView fires onItemLongClick event also. I need this event, but only if user doesn't scroll. If user scrolls in vertical direction, ListView doesn't fire onItemLongClick event. I need the same behavior for horizontal scrolling also.

I'm trying to scroll the ListView up/down actions by pressing a button, instead of using finger gesture. It looks like the super class AbsListView.onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) handles all the scrolling up/down motion and animation. So if I want to scroll the list by pressing a button, I don't really have a MotionEvent to pass onto onTouchEvent method for it to work. I tried ListView.scrollTo(x,y), it kind of works but the hidden part of the ListView is not rendered when shown on the screen. I am trying to re-draw the list by using: ListView.invalidate(), ListView.invalidateViews(), list.adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()

What I have now is a layout that includes a list view at the bottom. All of the items in the layout above the list view remain fixed as you scroll through the list view. I would like the entire page to scroll so for example when you reached the bottom of the list you would no longer see the items above the list view.

I have a listview displaying my data.Ok. I want to set the scroll position in a position of my choice, but I just cant do it. I used :
myListView.setSelection( anyPosition ); myListView.setSelected(true); and has not worked. I also tried : myListView.scrollTo(0, PositionY); and myListView.scroolBy(0, PositionY);
and there's a strange behavior, this two methods doesn't put the scrool in the "PositionY", it made the "PositionY" be the first position in the list, cutting everything that exist before.

In my app, my main class extends ListActivity and calls a fillData() function to reload the list whenever changes are made. I'm still getting the hang of this, so I borrowed that concept from the Android Notepadv1-Notepadv3 tutorials. Everything works great, however whenever I need to change the list (remove an item, re-sort it, edit an item), the ListView refreshes and loses its scroll position. The scroll position is reset to the top after each fillData() call.
It appears to be resetting the scroll position to the top because I'm using setListAdapter() each time in fillData(), setting it to a new SimpleCursorAdapter. How can I get the list to "update in place", where the scroll position is seamlessly maintained to the user? I tried heading down the "items.changeCursor(cursor)" path, but that didn't seam to do much for me.......................

i'm rearranging items in the list by dragging the item. I'm in the touch mode and want to scroll view couple of items then i'm on the last/first visiblePosition. Since i'm in the touch mode setSelection is useless. How i can scroll a list in the touch mode. For drag i'm using onTouchEvent , onLayout to change background for the current item + some stuff in adapter to make a swap.

My application show a ListView with a button which allow user to add an element. When the user clicks on this button, another Activity is started to allow user to populate the new element. When the add is finished, we return to the previous Activity with the ListView and I would like to scroll to the new element.
Note that this element is not necessarily at the end of the ListView because there is an "order by" when I retrieve the datas from the database. I know I need the cursor position of the new element to make the ListView scrool to it, but the only info I have about this element is its id, so how to convert this id to cursor position ? Do I have to loop on the cursor to find the position?

I have a main menu screen with a simple ListView that contains "links" to further screens in my app (Browse, Bookmarks, Settings, About, etc.). Underneath the ListView there is a TextView (more accurately, a TextSwitcher that rotates TextViews) that changes every 10 seconds to display a new "tip".
In portrait mode, this works fine. There are my five list items in the ListView , and my tip label underneath. However, when I switch to landscape mode, the ListView is taller than the screen. The ListView scrolls normally, but I cannot scroll past the end of the ListView to see the TextView underneath.
I have tried every possible combination of Layouts, wrappers, ScrollViews, and layout_height parameters and I simply cannot get it to behave.
Here is the simplest code ...
Like I've said, I've already tried so many different combinations that I can't list them, and for the most part I was randomly inserting XML in an attempt to get something to work the way I wanted. So I'd greatly appreciate suggestions as to how I would go about doing this the right way.

I have a listview with a custom arrayadapter that handles about 15 strings. The style of each row alternates (between labels and values for those labels--for example row 1 could be "email address" and row 2 would be the actual email address). I'm changing the style of each row to alternate like this in the arrayadapter's getView() method. So if the item at the current position is a label, I'll change the styling from the default row style (which is what the values have applied to them). When the listview first loads, the styling is perfect and just how I want it to be. If I scroll the list slowly up or down, it stays that way. However, if I scroll the list fast up and down, the styling of the value rows starts changing to that of the label ones until all of the rows have the styling of a label row. I've used custom adapters on other listviews in the app with no problems like this. Found out that it also changes all of the rows to the label styling on portrait->landscape orientation changes. Doesn't do this on landscape->portrait changes. Below is the adapter I'm using.
public class DetailsAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> { private TextView text = null; private String item = null;
public DetailsAdapter(Context context, int resource, int textViewResourceId, String[] objects) { super(context, resource, textViewResourceId, objects);
} @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { text = (TextView) super.getView(position, convertView, parent); item = getItem(position);
if (item.equals("Name") || item.equals("Mobile") || item.equals("Home") || item.equals("Email") || item.equals("Address")) { text.setBackgroundColor(0xFF575757); text.setTextSize(15);
text.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD); text.setPadding(8, 5, 0, 5);
} else { text.setPadding(15, 15, 0, 15); } return text;
} @Override public boolean isEnabled(int position) { item = getItem(position);
if (item.equals("Name") || item.equals("Mobile") || item.equals("Home") || item.equals("Email") || item.equals("Address")) { return false;
} else { return true; } } }
