Android Tutorial ScrollView example with a Panel higher than the screen

Attached you find an example with a ScrollView with a Panel higher than the screen.

The layouts are designed in the Designer, not in the code.

There are 2 layout files:
- Main with the ScrollView.
- ScrollViewLayout has one Panel higher than the screen, 7 Label views and 7 EditText views, the Panel height is set so the last EditText view is on top of the screen when the panel's lower edge is on the lower edge of the screen.

Clicking on an EditText moves the Scrollview up to show this EditText view on top of the screen to avoid interference with the virtual keyboard.

Best regards.

Were is the code?

I am looking at the simulator and see a keyboard with multifuncitons but no code to support the keyboard view, custom characters on the keyboard, and the different modes the keyboard uses. It runs, thus the code has to be somewhere. I did not see it in the designer though I did find the textboxes and items numbers.

Sorry but I don't understand what exactly you mean.
The picture in the first post shows the internal soft keyboard.
It's different from the 'external' keyboard of the Emulator.

Best regards.

Change layout

Can I change the layout to another one. I want to use multiple layouts in my project.
if possible, how?

 

[klaus]

Yes you can.
When you want to change the layout you should use the code below:

scvTest.Panel.RemoveAllViews
scvTest.Panel.LoadLayout("NewLayout")

But I would suggest you to use different Activities instead of different layouts in the same Activity.
That's the 'standard' Android mode of working.

Best regards.

With this line :

scvTest.ScrollPosition = Send.Top - 10dip

the panel is shifted up by the code.
With this line commented out the OS does the shifting automatically.
You can set the height of the panel pnlTest to 720 (in the Designer) then when the ScrollView shows the lowest EditText view and it gets the focus the OS moves it up when the virtual keyboard is shown and moves down when the keyboard is hidden.

Best regards.

Ciao klaus now a question I asked in the forum so far only half dark, I state that I am in this program is not the good I consider it somewhat absurd, I'm a beginner, I have a screen with some pictures I would like to put 30 but do not go there and I would like to make a simple vertical scrollview and be able to put more pictures, how can I do? how do I put pictures from other designers if they do not go there physically?, someone told me to put multiple layouts within the same as you do?, at least give me help you maybe with an example? thank you ...

Look at this thread ScrollView Example Summary there you find several examples with images on a scrollview.

I need to know how I could apply the scroll property to a panel using this simple method, which is described in your example testScroll1.zip, is basically the same but:

scvTest.Initialize (1000dip)
scvTest.Panel.AddView (Panel1, 0,0,500,1000)
scvTest.Panel.Height = Panel1.Height

but it shows me an error:

how to do it?

thanks.

 

[klaus]

You need to post more code, without knowing what you have done and how, it's difficult to give you a concrete answer.
The best would be to post your project as a zip file (IDE menu Files / Export As Zip).

THANKS FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE
BASICALLY NEED TO MAKE A SCROLL PANEL THAT OPENS AND OFF BY A BUTTON, THE PANEL MAY HAVE ANY VIEW ... I SEND A ZIP WHICH IS JUST AN ATTEMPT BY THE TIME DOES NOT WORK ...

Soryy for answering only today, but I was three days on travel.

What do you mean with this ?
There is no such button in your code.
Attached your modified code.

 

[PABLO2013]

thank you you are very kind
sorry for my English
your example is fine for me, but I see no such express very well.

basically it is an activity that has a botton that opens and closes a panel with scrolling features.
thank you very much beforehand.

[klaus]

You need to be more precise on what you want !
If you show the ScrollView full screen your Butons will be hidden and you cannot come back !
One button could do both, showing and hiding the Scrollview.
Do you want to have the button allways visible and show or hide the ScrollView on the same Activity or show the ScrollView in another Activity and go back with the Back button.

I need show row and colum of a table SQLite, in eclipse i had use a listview and i define the lyout of a row with a number of edit texts such as the colums. Can i do the same operation in B4A?
I have install a library for GridView but ther is'nt the objet in designer / addview. What have i forgot to do?
Thanks.

 

[klaus]

I have never used GridView.
But you could have a look at the Table class.

Tanks,i tink that i can't use designer for this type of request. Tanks

 

[klaus]

I'm sure that trying to do it in the Designer is not the best way.
Is the row number always the same ?
If no, you need anyway to add the views in the code.

You can do something similar with a ScrollView, you could have a look at the SQLExample in User's Guide.
The Table class uses a ScrollView too.

You could also have a look at this example, it uses a ScrollView and a panel with views for each row.

You can also use a WebView to display a table. This is used in the SQLiteLight examples.

Ok, i do by the ScrollView and panel, there isn't a limit of row because is a app for add element in a table.
I don't understand why i must do Activity.AddView(scvMain, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y), if scvMain is the ScrollView insert in Designer.
Now my App is almost ok, only problem is that the table scroll but is not requayred because there are few rows that layout can contain. I would like that the scroll si active only if there are there are more rows those displayed. How can i solve this problem? Thanks

If the ScrollView is added in the Designer you must not use Activity.AddView(scvMain, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y) !

You must adjust the ScrollView.Panel.Height according to the row height and number.
