Question

So I have a class that gets items from a database and then places them into a layout and inflates. This loops through each item in the database inflating a new layout for each item. This eventually extends past the viewport and will need a scroll bar which I assume will be a ScrollView. I’ve tried many different ways and can’t get it to scroll through the entire content. Please advise.

Java:

View myView = linflater.inflate(R.layout.myviews, null);

TextView tvQuote = (TextView) myView.findViewById(R.id.lblQuote);
//Set an id to know which quote is in use
tvQuote.setId(i);
TextView tvShared = (TextView) myView.findViewById(R.id.lblShared);
TextView tvSaid = (TextView) myView.findViewById(R.id.lblSaid);

//Change name dynamically
tvQuote.setText((strQuote).toString());
tvShared.setText(("Shared by: " + strFName + " " + strLInitial).toString());
tvSaid.setText(("Said by: " + strFNameSaid + " " + strLInitialSaid).toString());

main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout 
        android:orientation="vertical" 
        android:id="@+id/myMainLayout" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">   
    <TextView 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:text="Quoter" 
        android:id="@+id/lblTitle" 
        android:textSize="16px" 
        android:padding="5px" 
        android:textStyle="bold" 
        android:gravity="center_horizontal">
    </TextView>
</LinearLayout>

myviews.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">


        <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1">

            <TextView 
                android:id="@+id/lblQuote" 
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"/>
        </LinearLayout>

        <LinearLayout 
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1">

            <TextView 
                android:id="@+id/lblShared" 
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"/>
            <TextView 
                android:id="@+id/lblSaid" 
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"/> 
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1">
          <TextView
            android:text=" "
            android:textSize="1pt"
            android:background="#6F7285"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"/>     
        </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

What would be the best solution to scroll through all of these inflated layouts?

I actually found that adding the ScrollView to the main.xml was the fix. Thanks for all your help though guys. I’d still like to know if I am doing this wrong though.
