I would like to add a vertical scrollbar to an AlertDialog because my text is too long to display on 1 screen:
I have tried to use :
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
but the scrollbars don't even display ?
Here's the xml layout file I'm using:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
android:id="@+id/instructions_view" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/TextView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="A LONG TEXT 1"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/TextView02"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="A LONG TEXT 2"/>
</LinearLayout>
I call the AlertsDialog with :
public void onClick(View v) {
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.Button_Instructions:
InstructionsDialog();
break;
case R.id.Button_Exit:
ExitDialog();
break;
}
}
public void InstructionsDialog(){
AlertDialog.Builder ad = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
ad.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
ad.setTitle("Instructions ...");
ad.setView(LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.instructions_dialog,null));
ad.setPositiveButton("OK",
new android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int arg1) {
// OK, go back to Main menu
}
}
);
ad.setOnCancelListener(new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener(){
public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
// OK, go back to Main menu
}}
);
ad.show();
}
I found the answer now=> IT WORKS NOW WITH THIS :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/ScrollView01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
android:id="@+id/instructions_view" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/TextView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="A LONG TEXT 1"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/TextView02"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="A LONG TEXT 2"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
