Android :: Scrolling EditText On ScrollView Programmatically
Jul 19, 2010
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?

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):

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:

Just wondering if there is an easier way to simply stop ScrollView from being scrolled via touch inputs? I will programmatically get the ScrollView to scroll to top or bottom.
As a last resort, I guess I will have to inherit from ScrollView and capture all the ontouch events. But wondering if there is an easier way before I take this approach?

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.

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?

I'm writing a simple caesar-encryption-activity. Two EditTexts on screen, one clear-text, one crypted.
Here's an example for the crypted EditText - the cleartext one is similar.
CODE:...................
Now when entering cleartext I have an TextChangedListener running that programatically crypts and fills that crypto-EditText. So far, so good.
When the cleartext entered gets really long, the cleartext-EditText scrolls with my imput, but the crypto-EditText stays at the top of the text. I'd really like the crypto-EditText to scroll so that it always shows the bottom line of its content.
How can that be done, preferably from the onTextChanged()-Method of the TextWatcher?

RequestFocus() moves cursor to edit box, but does not highlight it. I want to highlight it like as if it was touched.

Until now I have been an iPhone developer only and now I have decided to give Android a whirl. Something I haven't been able to figure out on Android is how to programmatically prevent scrolling in a webview?? Something similar to iPhones prevention of the onTouchMove event would be great!

I have a long scrolling list of EditText items created by a SimpleCursorAdapter and prepopulated with values from an SQLite database. I make this by: cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT _id, criterion, localweight, globalweight FROM " + dbTableName + " ORDER BY criterion", null); startManagingCursor(cursor); mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.weight_edit_items, cursor, new String[]{"criterion","localweight","globalweight"}, new int[]{R.id.criterion_edit, R.id.localweight_edit, R.id.globalweight_edit}); is.setListAdapter(mAdapter); The scrolling list is several emulator screens long. The items display OK - scrolling through them shows that each has the correct value from the database. I can make an edit change to any of the EditTexts and the new text is accepted and displayed in the box. if I then scroll the list far enough to take the edited item off the screen, when I scroll back to look at it again its value has returned to what it was before I made the changes, ie. my edits have been lost. In trying to sort this out, I've done a getText to look at what's in the EditText after I've done my edits (and before a scroll) and getText returns the original text, even though the EditText is displaying my new text. It seems that the EditText has only accepted my edits superficially and they haven't been bound to the EditText, meaning they get dropped when scrolled off the screen. Can anyone please tell me what's going on here and what I need to do to force the EditText to retain its edits?

Does smomeone know how I set the scrollbar position in an EditView programmatically.
I'm appending the text during special events but I want the EditView to scroll down to the latest text added so it'll be visible. But default the scrollbar does not move automatically when appending text.

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?

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'.

I 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.

Every 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.

CODE:............
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've got a ScrollView containing a vertical LinearLayout.
The LinearLayout contains several items, including a ListView.
The problem is that I can't seem to get the ListView to be fully expanded. It is being compressed to fit everything on the screen, and forcing me to scroll through just the list. I would prefer to be able to scroll the entire layout, including the ListView.
I've played with the layout parameters a lot, but can't seem to get anything to work.
Also, I'm going to put this in another thread, but thought I'd ask here as well. Is there any way to force a separator at the top of a ListView?

I am trying to display a screen filled with data fetched from a server. The data, if it were HTML, would look something like the following (try to visualize =) ):
CODE:..............
So I naively tried to put a ListView in a ScrollView. Not only did it not work, but I've since read all about why it is bad by the likes of such luminaries as Hackborn and Guy (it nullifies the optimizations, etc).
Problem is, the half dozen places that said NOT to do it didn't recommend what I SHOULD do instead, excepting one post by Romain Guy specifying footer or header use (not suitable in my example, right?). In other words, it seems like people want to mix a list of items in among other text data, getting the benefits of a ListAdapter, but this isn't addressed anywhere that I can find.
So, what is The Right Way to implement my example above? I'm a step away from trying to add TextViews inside a for loop, which just doesn't sit right in my gut.

I show articles in WebView and would like to add some additional information, e.g. publishing date, author etc., into the same ScrollView above the original content. So that it usually doesn't take up space, but the user can just scroll back when the information is needed.
Did any of you do something like that in a sane way?
I thought I can put my stuff into the same ScrollView that WebView uses, but when looking at it with hierarchyviewer I can't see any children, it's probably native.
