Android Question ScrollView and MultiLine EditText Help Please???

[Mashiane]

Hi

I am loading a panel with a multi-line edittext on a scrollview. I resize the height to be double the height of the device and resize the multi-line edittext accordingly.

Now the challenge is when I type text in the multi-line that is longer, no vertical scroll bar is shown and I can't scroll the text as the underlying scrollview swipe event detects my movements.

Is there a way around this so that the multi-line edittext behaves as expected within the scrollview?

Ta!

Do you need the text to be editable? If not then you should use CustomListView.AddTextItem.

Yes, the text will be editable.

You can use StringUtils.MeMeasureMultilineTextHeight to find the required height and make sure that the ScrollView inner panel and the EditText are large enough to hold the entire text.
