Smooth scrolling in Android applications

Question

I would like to add the smooth scrolling functionality into my application. i.e. I have a huge text and I want to scroll it automatically (like in book readers).

Could anyone offer any examples of smooth scrolling?

Just put the view(s) you want to scroll inside a ScrollView. So to put some text in a scrolling area, put the text in a TextView, and then the TextView inside a ScrollView, like this:

<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <TextView android:id="@+id/my_view_id" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </ScrollView>

Thanks Ollie C, I did like you said, I can scroll the text, and I can see scrollbars, the question is how can I scroll it automatically. I'm trying to use scrollTo and ScrollView.scrollBy and ScrollView.scrollTo methods, but it is not working for me. Thanks

Ollie C, Also I added a button and I've tried to use scrollView.smoothScrollTo(0, POSITION); It is working for me but scrooling is to fast, Can I override scrolling (or animation) settings or smth. Thanks

Use reflection to update the ScrollView's Scroller:

Field mScroller; mScroller = ScrollView.class.getDeclaredField("mScroller"); mScroller.setAccessible(true); CustomScroller scroller = new CustomScroller(getContext(), new AccelerateInterpolator()); mScroller.set(this, scroller);

Use smoothScrollTo method (may have to setSmoothScrolligEnabled(true))
