Android HorizontalScrollView

A HorizontalScrollView is a FrameLayout. The android.widget.HorizontalScrollView class provides the functionality of horizontal scroll view. HorizontalScrollView is used to scroll the child elements or views in a horizontal direction. HorizontalScrollView only supports horizontal scrolling.

For vertical scroll, android uses ScrollView.

Let's implement simple example of HorizontalScrollView.

activity_main.xml

Now, drag HorizontalScrollView from palette to activity_main.xml file and place some views or elements inside it.

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


    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
        android:text="Horizontal ScrollView Example"
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />


    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="25dp">
        <HorizontalScrollView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="60dp"
            android:id="@+id/horizontalScrollView">

            <LinearLayout
