Hi all,

I want to have a textview (like a console or output window), which
scrolls. I saw on this list that the TextView will not scroll on its
own unless I wrap it in a ScrollView. So I did that and it worked. The
problem is, it seemed no matter what I did I could not get the
TextView to be higher than one line. This was only when it was
embedded in the ScrollView, and didn't seem to change whatever I set
the TexView's layout_height to. Here is my layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical">

<ScrollView android:id="@+id/ScrollView02"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="1.0dp"
android:layout_weight="1.0">

<TextView android:id="@+id/TextView01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"></TextView>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>


Adding android:text="some text" android:minHeight="50dp"  finally did
the trick! But, I would still like to understand why I had to do this.
It seemed like setting layout_height to "fill_parent" should be
enough, shouldn't it?

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Andrej
