[android] How can I make my layout scroll both horizontally and vertically?

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?

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>

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>

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 expect 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:

• Lift on scroll (since it's basically a NestedScrollView)
• Edge effects in both dimensions
• Fill viewport in both dimensions

Use this:

android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawHorizontalTrack="true"

Example:

<Gallery android:id="@+id/gallery"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawHorizontalTrack="true" />
