Unable to add <ScrollView> to an android app widget layout

Question

I am trying to create a widget to an application, following is the layout I'm using. I've tried to add the scroll view to the second half part of the widget. I am unable to do that, When I removed tags, widget is getting displayed, but when with tags, android is unable to load the widget. I am scratching my head with this for two days. I don't understand what am I doing wrong?

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Answer 1

you can use ListView with only 1 list item (your layout)

get sample for list view here

and modified ListProvider.java

public int getCount() {
return 1;
}
public RemoteViews getViewAt(int position) {
    RemoteViews remoteView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.your_origin_layout);
    remoteView.setTextViewText(R.id.content, "your Text");
    // add other pocess here
    return remoteView;
}
