Android Question Scrollable Activity

[DawningTruth]

How do I create the following layout:

Essentially I want to have a scrollable long page. Which can have numerous different elements.

Ideally I would like to create this layout in the Visual Designer.

Have tried the scrollview but it does not allow me to embed a panel into it.

Any suggestions...

You should use ScrollView. You can put any layout you like in the ScrollView. Create a new tall layout and load it to ScrollView.InnerPanel.

Tried that approach but clearly missing something. I'm just getting a blank activity with just the activity title.

Here is the layout file "LongLayout":

And here is the code:

Sub Globals
    Private scrollView1 As ScrollView   
    Private pnl_myPage As B4XView   
    Private lbl_myTitle As B4XView
    Private btn_Back As B4XView
    Private lbl_Subheading1 As B4XView
    Private lbl_Subheading2 As B4XView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    
    scrollView1.Initialize(0)
    scrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("LongLayout")
    Activity.AddView(scrollView1,0,0,100%x,100%y)

End Sub

Try this one:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    scrollView1.Initialize(0)
    Activity.AddView(scrollView1,0,0,100%x,100%y)
    scrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("LongLayout")
    scrollView1.Panel.Height = pnl_myPage.Height
End Sub

You could also define a layout with the ScrollView using anchors.

You could have a look at ScrollView example with a Panel higher than the screen.

It is a mistake to load a layout before the parent size is set. It should be:

    scrollView1.Initialize(870dip) 'based on the inner layout height
    Activity.AddView(scrollView1,0,0,100%x,100%y)
    scrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("LongLayout")

    scrollView1.Panel.Height = pnl_myPage.Height

Thx Erel, good tip. Working now.
