Question

I have a tableview inside of a scrollview. I want to reserve space for a listview 2/3 of the screen. I am getting the height of the screen, and will divide that in 2/3 and set the height of the ScrollView. But even with manually x and y numbers its blowing up.

App is crashing when I set the ScrollView width and height like this:

        ScrollView sv = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.usdScroll);

    ScrollView.LayoutParams layoutParams = new ScrollView.LayoutParams( -1, 550);
    sv.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

Any ideas what I did wrong?

Answer 1

You can use the layout_weight attribute to specify how much of a view the specific component will use, e.g. android:layout_weight=2. So for your listView set a weight of 1 and a weight of 2 for your tableview, I think. Anyway, play with the weight setting and you can split the view in any ratio you like.
