Android HorizontalScrollView disable scrolling

Question

I have HorizontalScrollView with long view as a child, so HorizontalScrollView is scrollable and can scroll its child horizontally. Is there any possibility to block that? I don't want user to be able to scroll the view.

Answer 1

My suggestion is to use an OnTouchListener, for example:

In onCreate Method

---

HorziontalScrollView scrollView= (HorizontalScrollView)findViewById(R.id.scrollView);
scrollView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouch());

---

And has a class:

---

private class OnTouch implements OnTouchListener
{
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    return true;
    }
}

Answer 2

Ok, I found the way how to implement that.

Just need to create my own HorizontalScrollView and override onTouchEvent method

public class MyHSV extends HorizontalScrollView {

    public MyHSV(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init(context);
    }

    public MyHSV(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init(context);
    }

    public MyHSV(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init(context);
    }

    void init(Context context) {
        // remove the fading as the HSV looks better without it
        setHorizontalFadingEdgeEnabled(false);
        setVerticalFadingEdgeEnabled(false);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        // Do not allow touch events.
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        // Do not allow touch events.
        return false;
    }

}

And then in the xml file

<pathToClass.MyHSV xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:scrollbars="none"
    android:id="@+id/myHSV>

</pathToClass.MyHSV>
