Android Question Why isn't this CustomListView 'Scrollable'

I like making new words :)

In my project, I have 2 CustomListViews, the panels / labels get changed depending on what the user presses on. One of these lists works fine - it shows the results of the SQL Query and you can scroll through them.

However, the second one isn't, I've added the Panels / Labels manually, however I can't scroll down to see the rest of the list. You can see about 50% of the Process Label and nothing below. Here is the code :-

B4X:
Sub FillInfo

ICV.Clear

Dim vesqltext As String
Dim ctsqltext As String
Dim casqltext As String
Dim spsqltext As String
Dim ingsqltext As String
Dim cpsqltext As String
Dim cur As Cursor



vesqltext  = "SELECT VE FROM Rec WHERE NAME = '" & Results.RCVValue & "'"
ctsqltext  = "SELECT CT FROM Rec WHERE NAME = '" & Results.RCVValue & "'"
casqltext  = "SELECT CA FROM Rec WHERE NAME = '" & Results.RCVValue & "'"
spsqltext  = "SELECT SP FROM Rec WHERE NAME = '" & Results.RCVValue & "'"
ingsqltext = "SELECT ING FROM Rec WHERE NAME = '" & Results.RCVValue & "'"
cpsqltext  = "SELECT PRO FROM Rec WHERE NAME = '" & Results.RCVValue & "'"

    FAVIAIVLBL.TextColor = Colors.Black

    FAVIAIVPNL.AddView(FAVIAIVLBL,10dip,10dip,100%x,100dip)
    ICV.Add(FAVIAIVPNL,40dip, "ATF")

End Sub

Any clues as to why the Cooking Process label only shows about 50% of the text and Favourite Label doesn't show at all (you can't scroll down to it)? In the designer this CustomListView is identical the other which works (the other CLV is on a different module)

Thank you :)

I've been away for a little while so couldn't get a chance to test. Spent a few nights and can't work out what's going on.

Attached is a copy of the project, if you do get a chance to take a look it would be much appreciated :)
I have not run your code, but based on my experience with Custom List View, i would suggest you check if you are resizing the scrollview panel's height to the height of all your items in the list.

Cheers,
Walter

Walter - found how to do this and it worked.

I won't take credit for the fix, it was posted by a user Tunderin :-

In the CustomListView class, make changesto the two following subs:

To the RemoveAt sub, add the line sv.Height=sv.Panel.Height right after the line that adjustssv.Panel.Height

To the InsertAt sub, add the line If sv.Panel.Height<100%y Then sv.Height=sv.Panel.Height right after the line that adjusts sv.Panel.Height

This fixed two problems in one go too.

Thanks again :)
