Scrollview2 Library?

I have used Documentation search
The Help utility
The forum search
The additional libraries forum
The wiki
and probably everywhere else except obviously the place where this library or class or whatever resides, without the slightest success except comments that suggest that the documentation is worth a look without saying where it is.
I note that somebody else asked and received the reply that they could use the help utility, which... you guessed it... pointed to his question! and three other items that did not give the answer. Perhaps the questioner is a skeleton somewhere still waiting... or of course they are smarter than me.

I constantly find this problem which wastes hours of valuable time.
Will some kind soul please direct me because I am trying to run klaus's AutoScaleExample4 which requires this lost library (ah ha, perhaps it is in Alexandria) and complains that it is probably missing. It is! Of course it might be buried inside a library with another name which I am also missing, in which case I need to be psychic.

Why is documentation so difficult to find and why is it , when it is dotted around in various threads, so difficult to know whether there is a newer ... somewhere else?
I have had my say... am I the only person with this difficulty?
Finally, I know the answer is going to make me blush.

I typed ScrollView2D in the search field just below the Basic4Android logo.
The first answer says [Lib] ScrollView2D - Informatix (go to first post)
Clicking on this link I got directly to the library thread.
I didn't find this complicated.

Best regards.

It is true that searching for Scrollview2 (and not Scrollview2D) does not produce a direct hit.

However, nearly all libraries are listed in the wiki:

Libraries - Basic4android Wiki

Also in the "The additional libraries forum" there is a post (at the very top) that directs you to above list.

You can find the library in question in this list.

Well I was correct! I did blush.
I was looking for Scrollview2 which I read in a forum post by klaus. Events not being called???. From that moment on I did not use the 'D'.

I will add that searching for Scrollview2 did not bring up Scrollview2D in the Documentation page search; in terms of a near miss; whereas typing scroll brings up scrollview. That would have shown me the error of my ways. I do not know why that did not happen.

Well no excuses the error was mine and my missing 'D' and thank you for putting me right.

Thank you klaus. May I add that without your excellent work in all domains, things would be very much more difficult.
Thank you.
