In Android, you can achieve horizontal scrolling effect by using the HorizontalScrollView widget. Here are the steps to use it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add a HorizontalScrollView widget in the XML layout file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <HorizontalScrollView<\/span>\r\n    android:id<\/span>=\"@+id\/horizontalScrollView\"<\/span>\r\n    android:layout_width<\/span>=\"match_parent\"<\/span>\r\n    android:layout_height<\/span>=\"wrap_content\"<\/span>><\/span>\r\n\r\n    <!-- \u5728\u8fd9\u91cc\u6dfb\u52a0\u9700\u8981\u6c34\u5e73\u6eda\u52a8\u7684\u5185\u5bb9 --><\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/HorizontalScrollView<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Add content that needs to scroll horizontally, such as a LinearLayout, to a HorizontalScrollView.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      <HorizontalScrollView<\/span>\r\n    android:id<\/span>=\"@+id\/horizontalScrollView\"<\/span>\r\n    android:layout_width<\/span>=\"match_parent\"<\/span>\r\n    android:layout_height<\/span>=\"wrap_content\"<\/span>><\/span>\r\n\r\n    <LinearLayout<\/span>\r\n        android:layout_width<\/span>=\"wrap_content\"<\/span>\r\n        android:layout_height<\/span>=\"wrap_content\"<\/span>\r\n        android:orientation<\/span>=\"horizontal\"<\/span>><\/span>\r\n\r\n        <!-- \u5728\u8fd9\u91cc\u6dfb\u52a0\u9700\u8981\u6c34\u5e73\u6eda\u52a8\u7684\u5b50\u89c6\u56fe --><\/span>\r\n\r\n    <\/LinearLayout<\/span>><\/span>\r\n    \r\n<\/HorizontalScrollView<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Obtain an instance of the HorizontalScrollView control in the code and add child views to it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \/\/ \u83b7\u53d6HorizontalScrollView\u63a7\u4ef6\u7684\u5b9e\u4f8b<\/span>\r\nHorizontalScrollView<\/span> horizontalScrollView<\/span> =<\/span> findViewById(R.id.horizontalScrollView);\r\n\r\n\/\/ \u83b7\u53d6LinearLayout\u63a7\u4ef6\u7684\u5b9e\u4f8b<\/span>\r\nLinearLayout<\/span> linearLayout<\/span> =<\/span> findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);\r\n\r\n\/\/ \u6dfb\u52a0\u5b50\u89c6\u56fe\u5230LinearLayout\u4e2d<\/span>\r\nfor<\/span> (int<\/span> i<\/span> =<\/span> 0<\/span>; i < 10<\/span>; i++) {\r\n    TextView<\/span> textView<\/span> =<\/span> new<\/span> TextView<\/span>(this<\/span>);\r\n    textView.setText(\"Item \"<\/span> + i);\r\n    linearLayout.addView(textView);\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        This will enable the horizontal scrolling effect. Keep in mind that if the width of the subview exceeds the screen width, users can view all content by scrolling horizontally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
