I have a textView which size is 16 characters, if it exceeds 16 characters I want to make it scrollable to the user to view remaining characters. Could any one help me?
I have tried this link Making TextView scrollable on Android
But there is no result?
My TextView Layout:
<TextView android:id="@+id/tv1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:maxLength="16" android:scrollbars = "vertical" android:ellipsize="end" android:text="fdgdddhhhdhd" /> In your XML layout file:
<TextView android:id="@+id/message_scroll" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbars="vertical" android:text="@string/lorem" /> In your Java class file:
TextView tv = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.message_scroll); tv.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod()); 
Wrap your textview in a scrollview:
<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <TextView android:id="@+id/tv1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:maxLength="16" android:scrollbars = "vertical" android:ellipsize="end" android:text="fdgdddhhhdhd" /> </ScrollView> Your android:maxlength="16" limits the number of characters that can be placed in the TextView to 16
