I´m adding programmatically Views to a LinearLayout, that is embedded in a ScrollView. The ScrollView however does not take into account that extended height, so scrolling won´t work. Calling invalidate()
and requestLayout()
on the ScrollView after adding the Views did not solve the problem. How it has to be done?
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fillViewport="true"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/pager">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/layout_to_which_views_are_added"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/label">
services.groupBy { it.category }.forEach { category ->
val view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.service_category, rootLayout, false)
view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.lblHeader).text = getStringArray(R.array.service_category_headers)[category.key]
view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.txtServices).text = category.value.joinToString(", ") { it.display }
layout_to_which_views_are_added.addView(view)
}
scrollView.invalidate()
scrollView.requestLayout()
Found the problem, the parenting layout of the ScrollView, a CoordinatorLayout, itself being parented by a ConstraintLayout, was missing the bottomToBottom-to-parent constraint, which would stretch it to the bottom, which then makes the ScrollView scrollable to whole content
