Android Question [B4A] Scrolls editable text of B4XFloatFieldText in PreferenceDialog()

[T201016]

Hello,
I cannot get the vertical scroll action in the edited (see: Description) field.
Actually, I can only scroll the whole dialogue view: PrefDialog.

I have included a short source:

Private Sub SetFloatTextField(FloatTextField As B4XFloatTextField, SmallLabelTextSize As Int, LargeLabelTextSize As Int,TextSize As Int, SmallLabelGravityLeft As Int)
    FloatTextField.SmallLabelTextSize = SmallLabelTextSize 'Hint Small
    FloatTextField.LargeLabelTextSize = LargeLabelTextSize 'Hint Large
    FloatTextField.TextField.TextSize = TextSize 'Text
 
    Dim TextFont As B4XFont = xui.CreateFont2(FloatTextField.HintFont, FloatTextField.SmallLabelTextSize)
    Dim TextWidth As Int = MeasureTextWidth(FloatTextField.HintText, TextFont)
    Dim BorderRadius As Int = 0

    FloatTextField.HintLabelSmallOffsetY = 3 'Inside

    If SmallLabelGravityLeft = Gravity.RIGHT Then
        FloatTextField.HintLabelSmallOffsetX = (FloatTextField.TextField.Width - TextWidth) - (BorderRadius + 5) 'Right
        FloatTextField.lblClear.Left = (FloatTextField.TextField.Width - TextWidth) - (BorderRadius + 5) - 60dip
        FloatTextField.lblV.Left = (FloatTextField.TextField.Width - TextWidth) - (BorderRadius + 5) - 25dip
    Else
        FloatTextField.HintLabelSmallOffsetX = 0dip 'Left
    End If
    FloatTextField.Update
 
    FloatTextField.TextField.SetColorAndBorder(xui.Color_White, DipToCurrent(2), xui.Color_Transparent, BorderRadius)
 
    FloatTextField.lblV.Top = FloatTextField.lblV.Top - 17dip
    FloatTextField.lblClear.Top = FloatTextField.lblClear.Top - 17dip

    Private ed As EditText = FloatTextField.TextField
    ed.Gravity = Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT
    ed.SingleLine = False
    FloatTextField.Update
End Sub

Private Sub MeasureTextWidth(t As String, f As B4XFont) As Float
    Dim cvs As B4XCanvas
    Dim p As B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")
    p.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 0, 0, 2dip, 2dip)
    cvs.Initialize(p)
    Dim Width As Float = cvs.MeasureText(t, f).Width
    Return Width
End Sub
...



    Dim sf As Object = PrefDialog.ShowDialog(Item, "OK", Maps.L(23,"CANCEL"))
    For i = 0 To PrefDialog.PrefItems.Size - 1
        Private pi As B4XPrefItem = PrefDialog.PrefItems.Get(i)
        If pi.ItemType = PrefDialog.TYPE_TEXT Then
            Private ft As B4XFloatTextField = PrefDialog.CustomListView1.GetPanel(i).GetView(0).Tag
            Private dp As Int = ft.lblV.Top - 17dip
            ft.TextField.Font = xui.CreateDefaultBoldFont(14)
            Select i
                Case 6
                    PrefDialog.CustomListView1.GetPanel(i).GetView(0).Height = 1000dip 'Height TextField
                    PrefDialog.CustomListView1.ResizeItem(i, 200dip) 'Height PrefItems
                    SetFloatTextField(ft,14,16,14,Gravity.RIGHT) ' -------->>>>> how to get a field scrolled in edit?
                Case Else
                    ft.lblClear.Top = dp: ft.lblV.Top = dp
            End Select
        End If
    Next

You cannot nest scrollable controls. Make the text field as tall as needed.

Vertical scroll action in PrefDialog.TYPE_TEXT

If pi.ItemType = PrefDialog.TYPE_TEXT Then

Change field to :

PrefDialog.TYPE_MULTILINETEXT

File JSON

Hi, I am using the following .JSON file for "PreferenceDialog" and I don't really know what type I have to mention in the .JSON file to be able to distinguish correctly type "PrefDialog.TYPE_TEXT" from "PrefDialog.TYPE_MULTILINETEXT". (look at the highlighted line) I would be very grateful for...

I just managed to fix the problem I submitted in the thread (see: post thread #1)
I've included the source of the working code: PrefDialog.TYPE_MULTILINETEXT.
Despite suggestions (see: post thread #2), I can scroll the field vertically.

Greetings. And once again, many thanks for your help ?
