Android Question Need help with using ScrollView

[trueboss323]

Hi all,
I am trying to write several paragraphs of labels inside a Scrollview which instruct the user how to use the app. But i cannot get the Scrollview to work properly. Can anyone help me? I am doing this all in the designer by the way.

can you post your Code or attach it (IDE: File->Exportas Zip)?

I also am using the StdActionBar library to display tabs. So obviously, I would like this to be loaded in the "Help" tab.

Private bar As StdActionBar
    Private vp As StdViewPager
Dim ScrollView1 As ScrollView


vp.Initialize("vp", 5, 100%x, 100%y)



  
    Activity.AddView(vp.AsView, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)

bar.AddTab("Main")
bar.AddTab("Stats")
bar.AddTab("Options")
bar.AddTab("Help & About")
    bar.SelectedIndex = currentPage
vp.Panels(0).LoadLayout("Main")
    vp.Panels(1).LoadLayout("Stats")
    vp.Panels(2).LoadLayout("Options")
    vp.Panels(3).LoadLayout("Help")
  
bar.Initialize("bar")
    bar.NavigationMode = bar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS
    ' Add help Scrollview
    ScrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("Help")

You might have a look at this:

That actually looks pretty good. But I do not need the top navigation buttons, since I only just need to load 1 file, and I would like to integrate the helpviewer inside the tab.

I think you have to add your scrollview to the tab first:

...
ScrollView1.Initialize(400dip)
vp.panels(3).AddView(ScrollView1,0,0,100%x,100%y)
ScrollView1.SetLayout("Help")
...

Just a suggestion, not tested.

I changed your code to

ScrollView1.Initialize(400dip)
vp.Panels(3).AddView(ScrollView1,0,0,100%x,100%y)
ScrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("Help")

I could get the panel to load in the tab, but it won't scroll. Not sure if this is a designer problem or a coding problem.

 

[eurojam]

This is because of the

ScrollView1.Initialize(400dip)

where the 400dip sets the height of the inner scrollpannel. If it will be less then the scrollpanelheight, there will be no scrolling...so set the inner height in relation to the views which you will have on the scrollviewpanel (depending from your layout)

How is your Help layout defined ?
Could you post a small project so we could look at it and test it ?
