How do i design scrollable text view in layout?

Question

I'm not getting this "Scrollable Text View" part.. It messes up..

Answer 1

You don't need to use a ScrollView actually.

Just set the

android:maxLines = "a number"
android:scrollbars = "vertical"

properties of your TextView in your layout's xml file.

Then use:

yourTextView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod())

in your code.

it will scrolls automatically.
