I needed a TextView to take the rest of the screen realstate. This TextView would behave as a logging component.
\nI tried using android:singleLine=”false” but that didn’t cut it.<\/p>\n
What I did:
\nAdd a ScrollView (with android:fillViewport=”true” and android:layout_weight=”1″), then add a LinearLayout (yup…), and then add the TextView to fill all of that up (android:layout_weight=”1″ too)<\/p>\n
Here’s the only thing that worked for me:
\n[code lang=”xml”]
\n\t<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
\n android:layout_height="wrap_content"
\n android:layout_weight="1" android:fillViewport="true">
\n\t\t<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
\n\t\t<TextView android:text="@+id\/TextView01"
\n\t\t\tandroid:id="@+id\/logTextView"
\n\t\t\tandroid:layout_width="fill_parent"
\n\t\t\tandroid:layout_height="fill_parent"
\n\t\t\tandroid:textColor="#000"
\n\t\t\tandroid:background="#fff"
\n\t\t\tandroid:layout_weight="1"><\/TextView>
\n\t\t<\/LinearLayout>
\n\t<\/ScrollView>
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n
Then on your Activity, do this:
\n[java]
\n_logTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.logTextView);
\n_logTextView.setText("");<\/p>\n
\/\/and here comes the magic
\n_logTextView.setMovementMethod(ScrollingMovementMethod.getInstance());
\n[\/java] <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
