Android Question edittext box scrolls sooo slow. How to speed up?

[scottie]

I have a simple textbox (edittext1.text) I add a few pages of text to it.
scrolling thru it is way to slow. How can I speed it up to scroll like when viewing a web page or something


Tried on my S4 and my Experia Z2 tablet. Same slowness


Thanks a bunch

put the text box in a scrollview so that you move the textfield around and not the cursor in the text?

Thanks for your help. I haven't had to play with scrollview yet. Looks like a lot of work. LoL

You can use CustomListView.AddText to do exactly what you need.

not really.

I think it's just adding a vertical scrollview, add a label to it and set the inner panel to the size of the label.

Sub Globals
    Private ScrollView1 As ScrollView
    Dim mytext As Label
    Dim txt As String
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
Activity.LoadLayout("main")
mytext.Initialize("")
ScrollView1.Panel.AddView(mytext,0,0,ScrollView1.Width,2000)
ScrollView1.Panel.Height=2000
txt="this is a very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"
mytext.Text=txt.Replace("o","o"&CRLF)
End Sub

just noticed you meant an editbox.

just change

Dim mytext As Label

to

Dim mytext As edittext

to have an editbox

That works. but still a lot of crap just to have normal scrolling? then I still have to determine how many lines
of text is in the string in order to make the panel long enough to show all the ( 902+/-) lines of text.

my code:
'ScrollView1.Width = EditText1.Width
'ScrollView1.Height = EditText1.Height
'ScrollView1.Left = EditText1.Left
'ScrollView1.Top = EditText1.Top
'mytext.Text=EditText1.Text
'ScrollView1.Panel.AddView(mytext,0,0,EditText1.Width,45000)
'ScrollView1.Panel.Height=45000

I have to put that "45000" in there to show all the lines. too high of a number and scrolling is slow again.
Too low of a number and all lines don't show.

Guess I have more learning to do. LoL


Thanks for your help sorex!
