I want to display multiple lines of text in my application in particular range such that user can scroll to view other lines. I have tried EditText
, but it generates keyboard on top of it and doesn't scroll properly. Then I tried TextView
, it also does not scroll the text properly as I wanted.
Is there any other option available? If No, then how to scroll the text vertically in TextView
or EditText
? I want to scroll the text on drag as in WebView
. NOT auto scroll.
You can limit the Height of TextView
to match the number of lines you user wants to see, then simply put your TextView
in a ScrollView
I had done a simple example to demonstrate this...
<ScrollView android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:id="@+id/tv1"
/>
</ScrollView>
It is possible to create multiline text view with scroll view. I used the following code in your application:
Txt_VistaRecetasola = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt_vistarectsola);
Txt_VistaRecetasola.setMovementMethod(ScrollingMovementMethod.getInstance());
Txt_VistaRecetasola.setScrollBarStyle(0x03000000);
Txt_VistaRecetasola.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true);
Txt_VistaRecetasola.setTextColor(0xFF000000);
Check below code
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="17dip"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
/>
Try using Edittext with making it un editable, so in this case it wont allow keyboard to popup.
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
in your Manifest file in the activity where you have your EditText.
