two directional scroll view

Question

I would like to have a linearlayout with a header section on top and a webview below. The header will be short and the webview may be longer and wider than the screen.

Two years further down the line I think the open source community might have to your rescue: 2D Scroll View.

Answer 2

there is another way. moddified HorizontalScrollView as a wrapper for ScrollView. normal HorizontalScrollView when catch touch events don't forward them to ScrollView and you only can scroll one way at time. here is solution:

package your.package;

import android.widget.HorizontalScrollView;
import android.widget.ScrollView;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;

public class WScrollView extends HorizontalScrollView
{
    public ScrollView sv;
    public WScrollView(Context context)
    {
        super(context);
    }

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

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

    @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
    {
        boolean ret = super.onTouchEvent(event);
        ret = ret | sv.onTouchEvent(event);
        return ret;
  }

    @Override public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
    {
        boolean ret = super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
        ret = ret | sv.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
        return ret;
    }
}

using:

    @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

/*BIDIRECTIONAL SCROLLVIEW*/
        ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);
        WScrollView hsv = new WScrollView(this);
        hsv.sv = sv;
/*END OF BIDIRECTIONAL SCROLLVIEW*/

        RelativeLayout rl = new RelativeLayout(this);
        rl.setBackgroundColor(0xFF0000FF);
        sv.addView(rl, new LayoutParams(500, 500));
        hsv.addView(sv, new LayoutParams(WRAP_CONTENT, MATCH_PARENT /*or FILL_PARENT if API < 8*/));
        setContentView(hsv);
    }

I know you have accepted your answer but may be this could give you some idea.

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

</LinearLayout>
