Disable ScrollView Programmatically?

Solution 1:

Several points to begin with:

1. You cannot disable the scrolling of a ScrollView. You would need to extend to ScrollView and override the onTouchEvent method to return false when some condition is matched.
2. The Gallery component scrolls horizontally regardless of whether it is in a ScrollView or not - a ScrollView provides only vertical scrolling (you need a HorizontalScrollView for horizontal scrolling)
3. You seem to say you have a problem with the image stretching itself -- this has nothing to do with the ScrollView, you can change how an ImageView scales with the android:scaleType property (XML) or the setScaleType method - for instance ScaleType.CENTER will not stretch your image and will center it at it's original size

You could modify ScrollView as follows to disable scrolling

class LockableScrollView extends ScrollView {

    ...

    // true if we can scroll (not locked)
    // false if we cannot scroll (locked)
    private boolean mScrollable = true;

    public void setScrollingEnabled(boolean enabled) {
        mScrollable = enabled;
    }

    public boolean isScrollable() {
        return mScrollable;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        switch (ev.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                // if we can scroll pass the event to the superclass
                return mScrollable && super.onTouchEvent(ev);
            default:
                return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        // Don't do anything with intercepted touch events if
        // we are not scrollable
        return mScrollable && super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
    }

}

You would then use

<com.mypackagename.LockableScrollView 
    android:id="@+id/QuranGalleryScrollView" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent">

    <Gallery android:id="@+id/Gallery" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:scrollbars="horizontal">
    </Gallery>

</com.mypackagename.LockableScrollView>

in your XML file (just changed the ScrollView to your special LockableScrollView).

Then call

((LockableScrollView)findViewById(R.id.QuranGalleryScrollView)).setScrollingEnabled(false);

to disable scrolling of the view.

I think that you have more than just the issue of disabling scrolling though to achieve your desired result (the gallery will remain scrollable with the above code for instance) - I'd recommend doing some more research on each of the three components (Gallery, ScrollView, ImageView) to see what properties each one has and how it behaves.

Solution 2:

I had gone this way:

        scrollView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return isBlockedScrollView;
        }
    });

Solution 3:

Found this simple solution just set

ScrollView.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);

Solution 4:

Disablend ScrollView

ScrollView sw = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scrollView1);
sw.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        return true;
    }
});

Solution 5:

to start, i used the Code posted posted in the first Comment but i changed it like this:

    public class LockableScrollView extends ScrollView {

    public LockableScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }
    public LockableScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) 
    {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

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

    // true if we can scroll (not locked)
    // false if we cannot scroll (locked)
    private boolean mScrollable = true;

    public void setScrollingEnabled(boolean enabled) {
        mScrollable = enabled;
    }

    public boolean isScrollable() {
        return mScrollable;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        switch (ev.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                // if we can scroll pass the event to the superclass
                if (mScrollable) return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
                // only continue to handle the touch event if scrolling enabled
                return mScrollable; // mScrollable is always false at this point
            default:
                return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
        }
    }



@Override  
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    switch (ev.getAction()) {     
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:         
        // if we can scroll pass the event to the superclass      
        if (mScrollable) return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);      
        // only continue to handle the touch event if scrolling enabled    
        return mScrollable; // mScrollable is always false at this point     
        default:          
            return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);      
            }
    }

}

then i called it in by this way

((LockableScrollView)findViewById(R.id.scrollV)).setScrollingEnabled(false);

because i tried

((LockableScrollView)findViewById(R.id.scrollV)).setIsScrollable(false);

but it said that setIsScrollable is undefined

i hope this will help you
