android: two issues using Tablerow+TextView in Tablelayout
- by Yang
I am using Tablerow+TextView to make a simple view for blog posts and their replies. In each TableRow I put a TextView in. Now I have two issues:
The text which is longer than the screen won't automatically wrap up to be multi-line. Is it by design of TableRow? I've already set tr_content.setSingleLine(false); [update] This has been addressed, I think I should change Fill_parent to be Wrap_content in textView.tr_author_time.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.**WRAP_CONTENT**,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
The Table won't scroll like ListView. My rows are more than the screen size. I expect the table could be scrolled down for viewing just like ListView. Is that possible?
Here is my code:
TableLayout tl = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.article_content_table);
TextView tr_title = new TextView(this);
TextView tr_author_time = new TextView(this);
TextView tr_content = new TextView(this);
TableRow tr = new TableRow(this);
for(int i = 0; i < BlogPost.size(); i++){
try{
// add the author, time
tr = new TableRow(this);
/////////////////add author+time row
BlogPost article = mBlogPost.get(i);
tr_author_time = new TextView(this);
tr_author_time.setText(article.author+"("+
article.post_time+")");
tr_author_time.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.black));
tr_author_time.setGravity(0x03);
tr_author_time.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
tr.addView(tr_author_time);
tl.addView(tr,new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
////////////////////// then add content row
tr = new TableRow(this);
tr_content = new TextView(this);
tr_content.setText(article.content);
tr_content.setSingleLine(false);
tr_content.setGravity(0x03);
tr_content.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
tr.addView(tr_content);
tr.setBackgroundResource(R.color.white);
tl.addView(tr,new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
