I am creating a layout as follows and when I emulate it in the AVD. It doesn't Scroll down to see the conten below the fold.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content">
<TextView android:text="@string/UserFormWelcome"

You should wrap your layout / the part you want to scoll into a ScrollView
.
e.g. you can rewrite your layout as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content">
<TextView [...]
[...]
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
so your root tag will be a ScrollView
, and you just paste your current layout inside.
you just need to remove the namespace declaration from your LinearLayout
, and declare it in the ScrollView
.
The ScrollView API Docs might be helpful, and of course, Romain Guy's "ScrollView's Handy tricks".
