Games don't usually have scrollbars, so I fail to see how adding scrollbars to a game fits "standard UI designs for things". But, I'm probably just missing something. > It feels silly to have to rebuild the scrolling functionality from > scratch.

You assume WebKit's scrolling is handled like the scrolling of other widgets. I strongly suspect that is not the case -- WebKit itself probably handles its scrolling, and reports events to the rendering layer to indicate characteristics of the scrollbar (thumb position, thumb size) to be drawn. This is very much not in the spirit of ScrollView, but it would be necessary for WebKit, since that works on a variety of environments, from desktops to non-Android phones. It also may not be terribly reusable. > I just hope that in a future SDK release, someone will realize that > not having this particular bit of functionality outside of the WebView > widget is unnecessarily limiting. If you can point to code in http://source.android.com that demonstrates the code is, indeed, separable into a reusable component, please do. If you find it, log an issue to http://b.android.com requesting that such code be pulled out into such a reusable component. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
