How to use ScrollView in Android

Question

I have an XML layout file  but the text is more than fits into the screen size  What do I need to do in order to make a ScrollView    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt    lt TableLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  fill parent      android layout height  fill parent      android stretchColumns  1   gt        lt TableRow gt

To scroll data in text view you can use this to your text view. and add and for anything other layout you can just add scroll view on layout as people are saying above.

/** android:scrollable=true at textview in xml layout.

TextView txtScroll = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt1);
        txtScroll.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

As said above you can put it inside a ScrollView    and if you want the Scroll View to be horizontal put it inside HorizontalScrollView    and if you want your component  or layout  to support both put inside both of them like this      lt HorizontalScrollView gt           lt ScrollView gt               lt  -- SOME THING -- gt           lt  ScrollView gt       lt  HorizontalScrollView gt    and with setting the layout width and layout height ofcourse

There are two options  You can make your entire layout to be scrollable or only the TextView to be scrollable   For the first case     lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt ScrollView xmlns

A ScrollView is a special type of FrameLayout in that it allows users to scroll through a list of views that occupy more space than the physical display I just add some attributes     lt ScrollView xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android       android layout width  fill parent       android layout height  fill parent       android fillViewport  true       android scrollbars    vertical       android scrollbarStyle  insideInset       gt       lt TableLayout         android layout width  fill parent          android layout height  fill parent          android stretchColumns  1           gt           lt  -- Add here which you want -- gt       lt  TableLayout gt    lt  ScrollView gt

How to use ScrollView Using ScrollView is not very difficult  You can just add one to your layout and put whatever you want to scroll inside  ScrollView only takes one child so if you want to put a few things inside then you should make the first thing be something like a LinearLayout   lt ScrollView     android layout width  quot match parent quot      android layout height  quot match parent quot  gt        lt LinearLayout         android layout width  quot match parent quot          android layout height  quot wrap content quot          android orientation  quot vertical quot  gt            lt  -- things to scroll -- gt        lt  LinearLayout gt   lt  ScrollView gt   If you want to scroll things horizontally  then use a HorizontalScrollView  Making the content fill the screen As is talked about in this post  sometimes you want the ScrollView content to fill the screen  For example  if you had some buttons at the end of a readme  You want the buttons to always be at the end of the text and at bottom of the screen  even if the text doesn t scroll  If the content scrolls  everything is fine  However  if the content is smaller than the size of the screen  the buttons are not at the bottom   This can be solved with a combination of using fillViewPort on the ScrollView and using a layout weight on the content  Using fillViewPort makes the ScrollView fill the parent area  Setting the layout weight on one of the views in the LinearLayout makes that view expand to fill any extra space   Here is the XML  lt  xml version  quot 1 0 quot  encoding  quot utf-8 quot   gt   lt ScrollView     xmlns android  quot http   schemas android com apk res android quot      android layout width  quot match parent quot      android layout height  quot match parent quot      android fillViewport  quot true quot  gt                          lt --- fillViewport       lt LinearLayout         android layout width  quot match parent quot          android layout height  quot wrap content quot          android orientation  quot vertical quot  gt            lt TextView             android id  quot   id textview quot              android layout height  quot 0dp quot                  lt ---              android layout weight  quot 1 quot                    lt --- set layout weight             android layout width  quot match parent quot              android padding  quot 6dp quot              android text  quot hello quot   gt            lt LinearLayout             android layout height  quot wrap content quot         lt --- wrap content             android layout width  quot match parent quot              android background  quot  android drawable bottom bar quot              android gravity  quot center vertical quot  gt                lt Button                 android layout width  quot 0dp quot                  android layout weight  quot 1 quot                  android layout height  quot wrap content quot                  android text  quot Accept quot    gt                lt Button                 android layout width  quot 0dp quot                  android layout weight  quot 1 quot                  android layout height  quot wrap content quot                  android text  quot Refuse quot    gt            lt  LinearLayout gt       lt  LinearLayout gt   lt  ScrollView gt   The idea for this answer came from a previous answer that is now deleted  link for 10K users   The content of this answer is an update and adaptation of this post
