Hi, ListView is a virtualized component, it displays only as many items as it needs, which is why you cannot put it in inside a ScrollView. The only way to make it work is to give a fixed height to the ListView yourself. This is however a very bad idea to put a scrollable widget inside a scrollable widget. If you do this, touch scroll will become very weird: when the user tries to scroll the ListView inside the ScrollView, what should scroll? The ListView or the ScrollView? It also makes keyboard navigation incredibly difficult for the user: to scroll the ScrollView he would have to scroll through the entire ListView first.
You should really NOT do this, this will not work correctly. On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 11:52 AM, Andrew Burgess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm completely stumped on this one.
