How to scroll the screen in android

Question

I am learning android. I created a simple xml screen, but the data goes beyond the screen and the screen does not scroll. Can any body tell me how to make the scroll screen of my phone?

Answer 1

Put it inside a ScrollView

Answer 2

Here is the code for a fixed header and fixed footer and scroll body:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1" android:layout_width="wrap_content"> <TextView android:text="Header" android:id="@+id/textViewHeader" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> </TextView> <TextView android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:text="Footer" android:id="@+id/textViewFooter" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> </TextView> <ScrollView android:layout_above="@id/textViewFooter" android:layout_below="@id/textViewHeader" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" > <LinearLayout android:layout_below="@id/textViewHeader" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <TextView android:text="@string/about_tlh_body" android:id="@+id/textViewBody" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> </TextView> </LinearLayout> </ScrollView> </RelativeLayout> 

Good luck.
