How to disable GridView scrolling in Android?

Question

I'm using a GridView for a game board. Recently some users have had problems with the board scrolling vertically (on Samsung Galaxy / Vibrant phones running 2.2) -- This bug does not occur on my Nexus One.

One user produced some screenshots of the problem.

How could I lock the GridView in place? Is there a way to disable scrolling?

Answer 1

Try to add or override setOnTouchListener for GridView, then in onTouch method you can use code like this to make gridView not scrollable

Java

gridView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {      @Override     public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {         return event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE;     }  }); 

Kotlin

gridView.setOnTouchListener { v, event ->     event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE }

You can try setEnabled(false), although it might have other side effects. GridView is really not meant to be used the way you are using it. You should create your own custom view or layout. You could also use a TableLayout.
