[android-developers] Re: obtaining true dimensions of a View larger than the screen

2011-05-05 Thread kellogs
Good hint. I was able to do

int h1 = computeVerticalScrollExtent();
int h3 = computeVerticalScrollRange();

if (h1 == h3)
{
//switch to linearlayout wrapper
}

inside a ScrollView wrapper. The above methods return the same thing
on a LinearLayout though (and probably also on regular Views), so at
first the trick needs assuming that the wrapped View needs a scrollbar
and then see if it really needs one.

Thanks!

 The only thing View knows is these methods it calls on itself to have

 Beyond that, you will need to look at a specific class that is doing
 scrolling.

  Hello,

  trying to implement a dynamic scrolview wrapping mechanism here. But
  no matter what method I try from the View class they all return me the
  view's part of height that is currently visible on screen. So if there
  are 360 pixels available for a textview that has lots of text and is
  currently using 400 pixels its getHeight() and many other related
  methods always report 360.

  Any way around this ? maybe getting to the View's Canvas ? How can I
  go about that ?

  Thank you!
