I searched all over, but could not find a solution.
I have a view (lets call it myView) inside a scrollview. myView is bigger than the screen. Since I'm able to get the relative x,y position of my finger inside myView, I would like to make the scrollView autoscroll to the top/bottom when my finger enters a certain top/bottom threshold. I have some ideas, namely translating the drag location to the screen position but this did not solve this problem.
thanks in advance
cheers
All right I figured it out by myself.
First I had to extend the ScrollView class and added an interface OnScrollViewListener.
public class MyScrollView extends ScrollView {
private OnScrollViewListener mListener;
public MyScrollView(Context c, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(c, attrs);
}
@Override
protected void onScrollChanged(int l, int t, int oldl, int oldt) {
super.onScrollChanged(l, t, oldl, oldt);
if (mListener != null) {
mListener.onScrollChanged((OnScrollViewListener) this);
}
}
public void setOnScrollViewListener(OnScrollViewListener listener) {
mListener = listener;
}
public static interface OnScrollViewListener {
public void onScrollChanged(OnScrollViewListener listener);
}
}
Next in my Activity I inserted a member mScrollDistance that indicates the amount of pixels the user scrolls.
public class ScrollActivity extends Activity {
private int mScrollDistance;
@Override
protected void OnCreate(...) {
...
final MyScrollView myScrollView = (MyScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scroll_view);
myScrollView.setOnScrollViewListener(new MyScrollView.OnScrollViewListener() {
public void onScrollChanged(OnScrollViewListener listener) {
mScrollDistance = listener.getScrollY();
}
}
// making an drag and drop in an view that is inside the MyScrollView
final LinearLayout myLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linear_layout);
myLayout.setOnDragListener(new View.OnDragListener() {
public boolean onDrag (View v, DragEvent event) {
int action = event.getAction();
switch(action) {
case DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_STARTED: {
}
case DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_LOCATION: {
int y = Math.round(event.getY());
int translatedY = y - mScrollDistance;
int threshold = 50;
// make a scrolling up due the y has passed the threshold
if (translatedY < threshold) {
// make a scroll up by 30 px
myScrollView.scrollBy(0, -30);
}
// make a autoscrolling down due y has passed the 500 px border
if (translatedY + threshold > 500) {
// make a scroll down by 30 px
myScrollView.scrollBy(0, 30);
}
// listen for more actions here
// ...
}
}
}
}
Now, mScrollDistance gets always a new value and the drag location will be translated to the view location. I tested this and it works on layouts/views that are bigger than the screen size.
Hope that helps.
