Can a scrollview (with horizontal scrolling) contain views (with vertical scrolling)?

Nice confusing title...

I used the ScrollView kitchen sink sample. In essence, they create a ScrollView, and then a set of Views that are part of the Views attribute of a scrollview.

I've done the same thing and it works great...you can flip, horizontally, through your scrollview and see all the individual views. My use case is that I read a set of contacts (name, address etc) and display them on the scrollview and you can flip through them to find the one you want.

This works great...except that when a specific view within my scrollview has a lot of vertical text, there is no way to scroll vertically within that View within the Scrollview.

Is this possible or is it not allowed by iPhone?

var scrollView = Titanium.UI.createScrollableView({
            views:[],
            showPagingControl:true,
            showVerticalScrollIndicator:true,
            pagingControlHeight:40,
            maxZoomScale:2.0,
            touchEnabled:true,
            contentHeight:'auto',
            contentWidth:320,
            currentPage:1
        });

I then programatically in a for loop create views, add lables to that view, and add the view to the Views attribute of the scrollview

for(var i in myData) {
    var thisItem = myData[i]; //get next contact record             
    var newView = Ti.UI.createView({
        backgroundColor:'black',layout:'vertical',contentHeight:'auto',touchEnabled:true,showVerticalScrollIndicator:true
                });
 
                // add bunch of lables to the view
                newView.add(lFirm);
                                newView.add(lAddress1);
                newView.add(lAddress2);
                newView.add(lCity);
                newView.add(lZip);
                // many more, ommitted here for brevity
 
                                // add this view to my scrollview and loop around
                                // for the next contact
                scrollView.addView(newView);
 
 }//for

So, bascally, create scrollview, and then run through my data list constructing Views which get added to the scrollview. I can flip through the contacts (horizontal), but I cannot see the text that goes past the bottom of the screen as there appears to be no vertical scroll on those sub views.

All help/suggestions appreciated.

I'm not really sure myself, but this line

var newView = Ti.UI.createView({`

probably needs to be

var newView = Ti.UI.createScrollView({`.

Based on the properties you are setting for it (showVerticalScrollIndicator, contentHeight, etc) looks like that was your intention rather than just a regular view.

Hopefully you'll get some immediate results from that change.

Sorry for my late response...was out on vacation.

Thanks for the suggestion...I see where you're going with this...create a scrollable view on the scrollable view (instead of regular views on the scrollableview).

I tried it but its not scrolling vertically within that view. I'll try play a little more with the settings.

If the question is if you can add a view element to a scrollview element I have successfully added a tableview to a scrollview. Thus, it should follow that you can add any view to a scrollview.

Consider making your question more to the point. If you have multiple questions make multiple threads.

I have the same problem... Did you find a solution ?

I believe you are confusing 2 objects

scrollView allows you to scroll up to bottom or left to right (never both). scrollView DOES NOT have views property, you append them by using .add(view)

scrollABLE-View is like the dashboards for both android and iPhone. It allows horizontal navigation. Its basically a view( { layout: horizontal } ) with paging capabilites

I would implement Both. put a vertical scrollView (watchout with layout: 'vertical', might not work as expected) appending scrollableViews as children
