How to use ScrollView in Android?

Posted By: Anonymous

I have an XML layout file, but the text is more than fits into the screen size. What do I need to do in order to make a ScrollView?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:stretchColumns="1" >

    <TableRow>
        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
            android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
            android:tint="#55ff0000"
            android:src="@drawable/icon" />
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow>
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/name"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="3dip"
            android:text="  Name " />
        <TextView android:id="@+id/name1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="left"
            android:text="Veer" />
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/age"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="3dip"
            android:text="  Age" />

        <TextView android:id="@+id/age1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

            android:text="  Gender" />
        <TextView android:id="@+id/gender1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="left"
            android:text="[email protected]" />
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/hobby"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="3dip"
            android:text="  Hobby" />
        <TextView android:id="@+id/hobby1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="left"
            android:text="Play Games" />
    </TableRow>
    <TableRow>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/ilike"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="3dip"
            android:text="  I like" />
        <TextView android:id="@+id/ilike1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    <TableRow>
        <TextView android:id="@+id/idislike"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="3dip"
            android:text="  I dislike" />

    </TableRow>
    <TableRow>

            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="3dip"
            android:text="  Address" />
        <TextView android:id="@+id/address1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="left"
            android:text="Johar Mor" />
    </TableRow>
</TableLayout>

Solution

Just make the top-level layout a ScrollView:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fillViewport="true">

    <TableLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:stretchColumns="1">

        <!-- everything you already have -->

    </TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
