Non-Stretching ScrollView

Question

I have scroll in liner layout, here is my layout file

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <!-- Other widgets go here --> <ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <!-- Scroll view content --> </ScrollView> </LinearLayout> 

I want the height of the ScrolView to depend on its contents - wrap it, however, if this height makes the height of the whole layout more than that screen size, it needs to be fixed to fit the height of the screen. How can this be achieved?

Answer 1

If you want scrollview to fill the entire screen, even if there is not enough data to do this, try this instead

 <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <!-- Other widgets go here --> <ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:fillViewport="true"> <!-- Scroll view content --> </ScrollView> </LinearLayout> 

Answer 2

add this as an attribute in scrollview

 android:fillViewport="true"
