Android Question What is the best way to scroll long label text?

[incendio]

Hi guys,

I have a long label text in a monospace font.

This is the sample code how the label text gets its value

Private lblPrv As Label

Private Brt=0 As Double
Private Cur As Cursor
Cur = Main.SQLMem.ExecQuery("select * from mem_sls order by ln desc")
    
For i = 0 To Cur.RowCount - 1
    Cur.Position = i
    lblPrv.Text = lblPrv.Text & Cur.GetString("ITM") & CRLF
    lblPrv.Text = lblPrv.Text & Cur.GetString("QTY_DSCP") & " " & Cur.GetString("TTL_DSCP") & CRLF
    Brt = Brt + Cur.GetDouble("QTY")*Cur.GetInt("PRC")
Next
Cur.Close
lblPrv.Text = lblPrv.Text & "==============================" & CRLF
lblPrv.Text = lblPrv.Text & "Bruto", & " " & NumberFormat2(Brt,1,0,0,True)) & CRLF

Those codes display perfectly only if it is fit in one screen.

When the text didn't fit in one screen, the rest of the text not visible.

I tried to use customlistview to make it scrollable, add lblPrv as item, but customlistview not supports monospace font, and if font is not in monospace, horizontal alignment look terrible.


Any hint?

Take a look at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...t-engine-bbcode-parser-rich-text-view.106207/

Unfortunately BBCodeview not supports monospace typeface. I tried to set it in designer view, no effect.

Use anchors to set the labels and expand it to be able to accommodate the text, set single line to off

I have already use anchors and set single line to off.

This is a bug. It is fixed in v1.72: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/updates-to-internal-libraries.59340/post-702076

The typeface set in the designer should affect the font used when adding items with AddTextItem.

You may have a look at: Best view (control) for showing a large text file.
There are different examples. based on a ScrollView..
