Scrollview vertical and horizontal in android
AndroidScrollviewAndroid Problem Overview
I'm really tired looking for a solution for vertical and horizontal Scrollview.
I read that there are not any views/layouts in the framework which implement this feature, but I need something like this:
I need to define a layout within other, the child layout must implement scrolling vertical/horizontal for moving.
Initially implemented a code that moved the layout pixel by pixel, but I think that is not the right way. I tried it with ScrollView and Horizontal ScrollView but nothing works like I want it to, because it only implements vertical or horizontal scrolling.
Canvas is not my solution because I need to attach listeners in someones child elements.
What can I do?

Solution 1 - Android
Mixing some of the suggestions above, and was able to get a good solution:
Custom ScrollView:
package com.scrollable.view;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.ScrollView;
public class VScroll extends ScrollView {
public VScroll(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public VScroll(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public VScroll(Context context) {
super(context);
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
return false;
}
}
Custom HorizontalScrollView:
package com.scrollable.view;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.HorizontalScrollView;
public class HScroll extends HorizontalScrollView {
public HScroll(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public HScroll(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public HScroll(Context context) {
super(context);
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
return false;
}
}
the ScrollableImageActivity:
package com.scrollable.view;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.HorizontalScrollView;
import android.widget.ScrollView;
public class ScrollableImageActivity extends Activity {
private float mx, my;
private float curX, curY;
private ScrollView vScroll;
private HorizontalScrollView hScroll;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
vScroll = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.vScroll);
hScroll = (HorizontalScrollView) findViewById(R.id.hScroll);
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
float curX, curY;
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
mx = event.getX();
my = event.getY();
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
curX = event.getX();
curY = event.getY();
vScroll.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
hScroll.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
mx = curX;
my = curY;
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
curX = event.getX();
curY = event.getY();
vScroll.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
hScroll.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
break;
}
return true;
}
}
the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.scrollable.view.VScroll android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/vScroll">
<com.scrollable.view.HScroll android:id="@+id/hScroll"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/bg"></ImageView>
</com.scrollable.view.HScroll>
</com.scrollable.view.VScroll>
</LinearLayout>
Solution 2 - Android
Since this seems to be the first search result in Google for "Android vertical+horizontal ScrollView", I thought I should add this here. Matt Clark has built a custom view based on the Android source, and it seems to work perfectly: Two Dimensional ScrollView
Beware that the class in that page has a bug calculating the view's horizonal width. A fix by Manuel Hilty is in the comments:
> Solution: Replace the statement on line 808 by the following: > > final int childWidthMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(lp.leftMargin + lp.rightMargin, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
Edit: The Link doesn't work anymore but here is a link to an old version of the blogpost.
Solution 3 - Android
I found a better solution.
XML: (design.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="90px" android:layout_height="90px">
<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/container" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</RelativeLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>
Java Code:
public class Example extends Activity {
private RelativeLayout container;
private int currentX;
private int currentY;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.design);
container = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.container);
int top = 0;
int left = 0;
ImageView image1 = ...
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.setMargins(left, top, 0, 0);
container.addView(image1, layoutParams);
ImageView image2 = ...
left+= 100;
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.setMargins(left, top, 0, 0);
container.addView(image2, layoutParams);
ImageView image3 = ...
left= 0;
top+= 100;
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.setMargins(left, top, 0, 0);
container.addView(image3, layoutParams);
ImageView image4 = ...
left+= 100;
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.setMargins(left, top, 0, 0);
container.addView(image4, layoutParams);
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
currentX = (int) event.getRawX();
currentY = (int) event.getRawY();
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: {
int x2 = (int) event.getRawX();
int y2 = (int) event.getRawY();
container.scrollBy(currentX - x2 , currentY - y2);
currentX = x2;
currentY = y2;
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
break;
}
}
return true;
}
}
That's works!!!
If you want to load other layout or control, the structure is the same.
Solution 4 - Android
I use it and works fine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView android:id="@+id/ScrollView02"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<HorizontalScrollView android:id="@+id/HorizontalScrollView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="@+id/ImageView01"
android:src="@drawable/pic"
android:isScrollContainer="true"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:adjustViewBounds="true">
</ImageView>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</ScrollView>

Solution 5 - Android
My solution based on Mahdi Hijazi answer, but without any custom views: Layout:
<HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/scrollHorizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrollVertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<WateverViewYouWant/>
</ScrollView>
</HorizontalScrollView>
Code (onCreate/onCreateView):
final HorizontalScrollView hScroll = (HorizontalScrollView) value.findViewById(R.id.scrollHorizontal);
final ScrollView vScroll = (ScrollView) value.findViewById(R.id.scrollVertical);
vScroll.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { //inner scroll listener
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
return false;
}
});
hScroll.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { //outer scroll listener
private float mx, my, curX, curY;
private boolean started = false;
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
curX = event.getX();
curY = event.getY();
int dx = (int) (mx - curX);
int dy = (int) (my - curY);
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
if (started) {
vScroll.scrollBy(0, dy);
hScroll.scrollBy(dx, 0);
} else {
started = true;
}
mx = curX;
my = curY;
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
vScroll.scrollBy(0, dy);
hScroll.scrollBy(dx, 0);
started = false;
break;
}
return true;
}
});
You can change the order of the scrollviews. Just change their order in layout and in the code. And obviously instead of WateverViewYouWant you put the layout/views you want to scroll both directions.
Solution 6 - Android
Option #1: You can come up with a new UI design that does not require simultaneous horizontal and vertical scrolling.
Option #2: You can obtain the source code to ScrollView and HorizontalScrollView, learn how the core Android team implemented those, and create your own BiDirectionalScrollView implementation.
Option #3: You can get rid of the dependencies that are requiring you to use the widget system and draw straight to the Canvas.
Option #4: If you stumble upon an open source application that seems to implement what you seek, look to see how they did it.
Solution 7 - Android
Try this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView android:id="@+id/Sview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="@+id/hview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView .......
[here xml code for image]
</ImageView>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</ScrollView>
Solution 8 - Android
since the Two Dimensional Scrollview link is dead I could not get it so I created my own component. It handles flinging and works properly for me. The only restriction is that wrap_content might not work properly for that component.
Solution 9 - Android
I have a solution for your problem. You can check the ScrollView code it handles only vertical scrolling and ignores the horizontal one and modify this. I wanted a view like a webview, so modified ScrollView and it worked well for me. But this may not suit your needs.
Let me know what kind of UI you are targeting for.

Solution 10 - Android
Playing with the code, you can put an HorizontalScrollView into an ScrollView. Thereby, you can have the two scroll method in the same view.

I hope this could help you.
Solution 11 - Android
use this way I tried this I fixed it
Put All your XML layout inside
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
I explained this in this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54532894/vertical-recyclerview-and-horizontal-recyclerview-scrolling-together
Solution 12 - Android
If you want to scroll vertically and horizontally this is an example:
Horizontal scroll inside vertical scroll and both works:
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/verticalScroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
...
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="@+id/horizontalScroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
*android:overScrollMode="never"*>
...
</HorizontalScrollView>
...
</ScrollView>
