Answer 1

i need to have both horizontal and vertical scrolls

You cannot have both horizontal and vertical scrolls using the built-in framework.

i hv already tried android:scrollbars = "horizontal"

android:scrollbars is not what you want.

i hv read on some forums that in cupcake update horizontal scroll is possible in andorid.

Try HorizontalScrollView, the horizontal companion to ScrollView.

Answer 2

i finally got it.... it is a far simpler way than ur saying....

here is the xml for it

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical">

<HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="320px" android:layout_height="fill_parent">


<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/linlay" android:layout_width="320px"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:stretchColumns="1"
  android:background="#000000">
</TableLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>

<../ScrollView..>
