Scrollview vertical and horizontal in android

Solution 1:

Mixing some of the suggestions above, and was able to get a good solution:

Custom ScrollView:

package com.scrollable.view;

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.ScrollView;

public class VScroll extends ScrollView {

    public VScroll(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public VScroll(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public VScroll(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        return false;
    }
}

Custom HorizontalScrollView:

package com.scrollable.view;

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.HorizontalScrollView;

public class HScroll extends HorizontalScrollView {

    public HScroll(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public HScroll(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public HScroll(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        return false;
    }
}

the ScrollableImageActivity:

package com.scrollable.view;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.HorizontalScrollView;
import android.widget.ScrollView;

public class ScrollableImageActivity extends Activity {

    private float mx, my;
    private float curX, curY;

    private ScrollView vScroll;
    private HorizontalScrollView hScroll;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        vScroll = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.vScroll);
        hScroll = (HorizontalScrollView) findViewById(R.id.hScroll);

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        float curX, curY;

        switch (event.getAction()) {

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                mx = event.getX();
                my = event.getY();
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                curX = event.getX();
                curY = event.getY();
                vScroll.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
                hScroll.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
                mx = curX;
                my = curY;
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                curX = event.getX();
                curY = event.getY();
                vScroll.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
                hScroll.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
                break;
        }

        return true;
    }

}

the layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <com.scrollable.view.VScroll android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/vScroll">
        <com.scrollable.view.HScroll android:id="@+id/hScroll"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
            <ImageView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/bg"></ImageView>
        </com.scrollable.view.HScroll>
    </com.scrollable.view.VScroll>

</LinearLayout>

Solution 2:

Since this seems to be the first search result in Google for "Android vertical+horizontal ScrollView", I thought I should add this here. Matt Clark has built a custom view based on the Android source, and it seems to work perfectly: Two Dimensional ScrollView

Beware that the class in that page has a bug calculating the view's horizonal width. A fix by Manuel Hilty is in the comments:

Solution: Replace the statement on line 808 by the following:

final int childWidthMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(lp.leftMargin + lp.rightMargin, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);

Edit: The Link doesn't work anymore but here is a link to an old version of the blogpost.

Solution 3:

I found a better solution.

XML: (design.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
  <FrameLayout android:layout_width="90px" android:layout_height="90px">
    <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/container" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">        
    </RelativeLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>

Java Code:

public class Example extends Activity {
  private RelativeLayout container;
  private int currentX;
  private int currentY;

  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.design);

    container = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.container);

    int top = 0;
    int left = 0;

    ImageView image1 = ...
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    layoutParams.setMargins(left, top, 0, 0);               
    container.addView(image1, layoutParams);

    ImageView image2 = ...
    left+= 100;
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    layoutParams.setMargins(left, top, 0, 0);               
    container.addView(image2, layoutParams);

    ImageView image3 = ...
    left= 0;
    top+= 100;
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    layoutParams.setMargins(left, top, 0, 0);               
    container.addView(image3, layoutParams);

    ImageView image4 = ...
    left+= 100;     
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    layoutParams.setMargins(left, top, 0, 0);               
    container.addView(image4, layoutParams);
  }     

  @Override 
  public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    switch (event.getAction()) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
            currentX = (int) event.getRawX();
            currentY = (int) event.getRawY();
            break;
        }

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: {
            int x2 = (int) event.getRawX();
            int y2 = (int) event.getRawY();
            container.scrollBy(currentX - x2 , currentY - y2);
            currentX = x2;
            currentY = y2;
            break;
        }   
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
            break;
        }
    }
      return true; 
  }
}

That's works!!!

If you want to load other layout or control, the structure is the same.
