Enabling scrollbar in EditText Android -
i have edittext on layout. below attributes have:
<edittext android:id="@+id/entryidea" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="225sp" android:gravity="top" android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background" android:scrollbars="vertical"/>
however, can see scrollbar can't scroll mouse/touch. thought may works if put corresponding listener since works on textview. apparently, isn't.
edittext et = (edittext)findviewbyid(r.id.entryidea); et.setmovementmethod(new scrollingmovementmethod());
can guys me on this?
thank in advance. sammy
in xml try setting edittext
height not in layout_height
, rather use android:lines
attribute (btw, using sp not practice when setting size except font size. using dp/dip more natural in case).
meanwhile set layout_height
wrap_content
. otherwise xml presented (with changes i've mentioned) worked fine me without specifying movement method in code.
and of course, scroll bar appear when actual amount of lines of text in edittext larger that, indicated in android:lines attribute.
