No Gravity For Scrollview. How To Make Content Inside Scrollview As Center
Solution 1:
I had the same issue and finally figured it out. This is for a vertical ScrollView
.
Put your ScrollView
inside a RelativeLayout
and center it in the RelativeLayout
. In order for this to work, your ScrollView
should have
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
This is how the final code should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RelativeLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="fill_parent"><ScrollViewandroid:id="@+id/scrollView1"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_centerVertical="true" ><LinearLayoutandroid:id="@+id/linearLayout1"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:orientation="vertical"><Buttonandroid:id="@+id/button1"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:text="b1"/><Buttonandroid:id="@+id/button2"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:text="b2"/><Buttonandroid:id="@+id/button3"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:text="b3"/></LinearLayout></ScrollView></RelativeLayout>
Solution 2:
How about this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><ScrollViewxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:id="@+id/scrollView1"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="fill_parent"android:paddingTop="12dp"android:paddingBottom="20dp"android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay" ><LinearLayoutandroid:id="@+id/linearLayout1"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:orientation="vertical"android:layout_gravity="center"android:gravity="center"><Buttonandroid:id="@+id/button1"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:text="check"android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"/></LinearLayout></ScrollView>
Solution 3:
I think a more elegant solution would be to use the ScrollView
's android:fillViewport
property. A ScrollView
is a little different in how it treats it's content view (can only have one), even if you set match_parent
(fill_parent
) to the ScrollView
it won't give that much spacing to it's content view, instead the default behavior is for the ScrollView
to wrap the content regardless of what you specify for that view. What android:fillViewport
does is tell the ScrollView
to stretch its content to fill the viewport (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ScrollView.html#attr_android:fillViewport). So in this case, your LinearLayout
would be stretched to match the viewport and if the height goes behind the viewport then it will be scrollable which is exactly what you want!
The accepted answer won't work properly when the content extends beyond the ScrollView
because it will still center the content view first causing it to cut off a portion of the view, and the ScrollView
centered in another layout works but just doesn't feel right, besides I think it will also result in a lint error (useless parent or something along those lines).
Try something like this:
<ScrollViewandroid:id="@+id/scroller"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="fill_parent"android:paddingTop="12dp"android:paddingBottom="20dp"android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"android:fillViewport="true"><LinearLayoutandroid:id="@+id/content"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:orientation="vertical"android:gravity="center"><Buttonandroid:id="@+id/button"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:text="check" /></LinearLayout></ScrollView>
Just remember that the reason it is being centered here now is because of the android:gravity
on the LinearLayout
since the ScrollView
will stretch the LinearLayout
so keep that in mind depending on what you add to the layout.
Another good read on ScrollView
although not about centering but about fillViewport
is http://www.curious-creature.org/2010/08/15/scrollviews-handy-trick/
Solution 4:
Use this attribute in ScrollView
android:fillViewport="true"
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><ScrollViewxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"android:fillViewport="true"
><RelativeLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"><!--Your Code goes here--></RelativeLayout></ScrollView>
Make sure to use Single Child in ScrollView just like in above example which is Relativelayout.
Solution 5:
For @Patrick_Boss - what stopped the content from cutting of in my application was to change the gravity and layout_gravity to center_horizontal for the LinearLayout.
It worked for me...but not sure if it will work for you.
Modification of @Ghost's answer -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><ScrollViewxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:id="@+id/scrollView1"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="fill_parent"android:paddingTop="12dp"android:paddingBottom="20dp"android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay" ><LinearLayoutandroid:id="@+id/linearLayout1"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:orientation="vertical"android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"android:gravity="center_horizontal"><Buttonandroid:id="@+id/button1"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:text="check"android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"/></LinearLayout></ScrollView>
