Disable ScrollView Programmatically?

Question

I would like to enable ScrollView and disable it by a Button Click.
Disable means like if the ScrollView wasn't there.. and enable it returns the ScrollView.

I want that because I have a gallery with text images, and on a button click the screen orientation changes, so in Landscape the text becomes bigger. And I want the ScrollView so the image does not stretch itself and the text becomes unreadable.

scrollview.Enabled=false / setVisibility(false) doesnt make anything.

xml:

<ScrollView 
android:id="@+id/QuranGalleryScrollView" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<Gallery android:id="@+id/Gallery" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scrollbars="horizontal"></Gallery>
</ScrollView>

Thanks

Edit1: I can't use Visibility (gone) since that would also hide the Gallery, what I want is to hide the effect of the ScrollView. When there is ScrollView the images in Gallery become scrollabale and do not fit in the screen so u have to scroll to see the whole image, I don't want to disable/enable that on a button click.

I tried this:

((ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.QuranGalleryScrollView)).setOnTouchListener(null);
                        ((ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.QuranGalleryScrollView)).setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
                        ((ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.QuranGalleryScrollView)).setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
                        ((ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.QuranGalleryScrollView)).setEnabled(false);

But still the images in the Gallery are scrollable and not fit the screen.. whats the solution to this?

Answer 1

As you can see in the documentation, you cannot set the visibility to false. In your case you should probably use:

scrollview.setVisibility(Visibility.GONE);

Answer 2

I had gone this way:

        scrollView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return isBlockedScrollView;
        }
    });

Answer 3

on button click listener just do

ScrollView sView = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.ScrollView01);

sView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
sView.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);

so that scroll bar is not enabled on button click

Answer 4

Does this help?

((ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.QuranGalleryScrollView)).setOnTouchListener(null);

You can make a CustomScrollView, for which you can disable its interference with other views. Though this can be sometimes irritating for the end user. Use it with caution.

This is the code:

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.ViewParent;

public class CustomScrollView extends android.widget.ScrollView {

    public CustomScrollView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public CustomScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public CustomScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev)
    {
        /* Prevent parent controls from stealing our events once we've gotten a touch down */
        if (ev.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
        {
            ViewParent p = getParent();
            if (p != null)
                p.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        }

        return false;
    }
}

How to use the CustomScrollView?

You can add CustomScrollView as a parent to the screen in which you want to add another Scrollview as a child view, and the whole screen is scrollable. I used this for a RelativeLayout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<**package.**CustomScrollView 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/some_id"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    #**Inside this I had a TableLayout and TableRow. Inside the TableRow,**
    #**I had a TextView which I made scrollable from Java Code.**
    #**textView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());**
    </RelativeLayout>
</ankit.inventory.ankitarora.inventorymanagementsimple.CustomScrollView>

It worked for my case.

Found this simple solution just set

ScrollView.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
