Android Question Resize Searchview

[ASanchez]

Hello:

Been around this forum for a little while, first I want to thank to all members, for i've learned a lot from reading your posts.

Now, the question that finally pushed me to write: I have a project that make use of a ListView, as per Contacts Search example. I want to resize the embedded scrollview to match the screen with or without the virtual keyboard showing.

I have added the view with

sv.AddToParent(Activity, 0, 0, 95%x, 80%y) and tried to resize it with
sv.height at no avail.

Is there a way to do it?

Hi, I understand that you use un LISTVIEW.

Add ListView with name PEPE for example is

Activity.AddView(PEPE,left,Top, Width, Height)

There, you say the heigth of the listview
You can change the height using

PEPE.height= 100dip

where 100dip is the new dimension

Hi Thader.
I'm really sorry, I asked for help on a ListView while I'm using a SearchView.. :S
As for your response, Thats exactly what I'm trying to do, except than SearchView doesnt accept .height

You can add a panel to the activity and then add the searchview to the panel and change the panel height that way.

Dim sv As SearchView
Dim MyPanel As Panel
 
 
MyPanel.Initialize("")
Activity.AddView(MyPanel,0,0,95%x,80%y)
MyPanel.Color=Colors.Cyan
sv.Initialize(Me, "sv")
sv.AddToParent(MyPanel, 0, 0, 60%x, 60%y)

SearchView is based on ListView. Open the SearchView module and change the ListView height.

Thank you very much for your answers.

I kind of mixed your solutions, embedding a searchview in a panel and in IME_HeightChanged this code:

    pnl.Height= NewHeight*0.80
    sv.HeightChanged (pnl.Height )

In ListView module code I added:

Public Sub HeightChanged(NewHeight As Int )
    lv.Height = NewHeight-et.Height
End Sub
