Question

I’ve to make a horizontal list view inside a vertical list view. Both list views can have any number of elements and both needs to be scrollable.

How will I achieve this because I’ve read that android doesn’t support list view hierarchy.

Thanks !

Answer 1

To Achieve this this, You have to do the following::

1. Create a Vertical ScrollView having Single LinearLayout.
2. Now Create Horizontal ListViews inside this Linearlayout as shown in the Example below:

Hence this will let you scroll vertically in the Screen as well as Horizontally in each ListView.

for eg.

<ScrollView>  

  <LinearLayout.....  //this a vertically oriented layout
  >  
     <ListView/>  
     .
     .//This listViews Are Horizontal
     .
     <ListView>
  </Linearlayout>
</ScrollView>    

Edit: Adding Dynamically ListView to the LinearLayout.

LinearLayout ll=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.id_given_in_the_XML_file);  
ListView lv=new ListView(Activityname.this);  
.
.
.

.
lv.setAdapater(adapter);  

ll.addView(lv);
