Dependencies: JavaObject library.

Tags: ScrollView, ScrollBar, setVerticalScrollBarEnabled,

The routines above are desiged as independant routines.
If you want to set several propeties at the same time you could do it in a 'simpler' way directly in the code without calling each routine separately :
B4X:
Dim jo = scvText As JavaObject
jo.RunMethod("setVerticalScrollbarPosition", Array As Object (1))   ' position left
jo.RunMethod("setVerticalFadingEdgeEnabled", Array As Object (True))
jo.RunMethod("setScrollBarDefaultDelayBeforeFade", Array As Object (2000))
jo.RunMethod("setScrollBarFadeDuration", Array As Object (2000))


Attached a small test project (written with B4A version 3.80).

Hi Klaus,
thank you for this code snippet :)
i'm using some of these properties that works for my need.
For my new app i need to disable the scroll by touch since i'm scrolling the view by code and i don't want the user to scroll.
Is there a way to do this?
I tried the .disable properties but does nothing...

thx in advance

DavideV

You can use this:
In Activity_Create add:
B4X:
Dim obj As Reflector
obj.Target = ScrollViewName 'the name of your ScrollView
obj.SetOnTouchListener("scvTouch")
And add this routine, which will consume the Touch event.
B4X:
Sub scvTouch(viewtag As Object, action As Int, X As Float, Y As Float, motionevent As Object) As Boolean
    Return True
End Sub

Hi Klaus, I'm having trouble setting this. This is not working as it should, the shadows still appear when I scroll over the inner panel limits
