I have a textView which size is 16 characters, if it exceeds 16 characters I want to make it scrollable to the user to view remaining characters.
Could any one help me?
I have tried this link Making TextView scrollable on Android
But there is no result?
My TextView Layout:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tv1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:maxLength="16"
android:scrollbars = "vertical"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:text="fdgdddhhhdhd"
/>
In your XML layout file:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/message_scroll"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:text="@string/lorem" />
In your Java class file:
TextView tv = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.message_scroll);
tv.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
Wrap your textview in a scrollview:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tv1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:maxLength="16"
android:scrollbars = "vertical"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:text="fdgdddhhhdhd" />
</ScrollView>
Your android:maxlength="16" limits the number of characters that can be placed in the TextView to 16
