How can I make my layout scroll both horizontally and vertically?

Question

I am using a TableLayout. I need to have both horizontal and vertical scrolling for this layout. By default I am able to get vertical scrolling in the view but horizontal scrolling is not working.

I am using Android SDK 1.5 r3. I have already tried android:scrollbars="horizontal".

I have read on some forums that in the cupcake update, horizontal scrolling is possible.

How can I make my layout scroll in both directions?

Answer 1

I was able to find a simple way to achieve both scrolling behaviors.

Here is the xml for it:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:scrollbars="vertical">

    <HorizontalScrollView 
        android:layout_width="320px" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

        <TableLayout
            android:id="@+id/linlay" android:layout_width="320px"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:stretchColumns="1"
            android:background="#000000"/>

    </HorizontalScrollView>

</ScrollView>
