TextView in a LinearLayout that is set in a ScrollVew getting squeezed

Going crazy with this one here,(just to be clear: I looked at all the questions here on stackoverflow regarding "scrollview not working" and none of them helped). The following is a short version of what I'm trying to do

 <ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/week_View"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fillViewport="true">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        >
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Monday" />
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Monday" />
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Monday" />.....
        .............
   </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

Textview is repeated multiple more times inside the linearLayout if that is not cleared and I want it to scroll horizontally. What I'm getting is:

enter image description here

You see the textView at the end getting "squeezed" and the rest of the textviews are not even displayed and scrollview doesn't go left or right. What am I doing incorrectly? (The scrollview is wrapped in a RelativeLayout).

Solution

  • ScrollViews are always vertical, meaning they go up and down. Use a HorizontalScrollView instead.
