# Titanium.UI.ScrollView
A view that contains a horizontally and/or vertically-scrollable region of content.
# Overview
Use the Titanium.UI.createScrollView method or <ScrollView>
Alloy element to create a scroll view.
Views added to the scroll view will be scrolled based on the size of the scrollable region of content. If a scrollable region fits within the size of its scroll view, the view will not scroll.
# Android Platform Notes
On Android, a scroll view can only scroll in one direction, either vertically or horizontally,
and not both at the same time. The Titanium.UI.ScrollView.scrollType property sets the scroll
direction explicitly. If the scrollType
property is not assigned a value, the scroll view
attempts to determine the scroll direction based on some the following rules:
If Titanium.UI.ScrollView.contentWidth and Titanium.UI.ScrollView.width are both set and are equal to each other, or if they are both set and
showVerticalScrollIndicator
is set totrue
, then the scroll direction is set to "vertical".If Titanium.UI.ScrollView.contentHeight and Titanium.UI.ScrollView.height are both set and are equal, or if they are both set and Titanium.UI.ScrollView.showHorizontalScrollIndicator is set to
true
, then the scroll direction is set to "horizontal".
Pinching a ScrollableView
to zoom in and out of content is not supported on Android. On iOS, this action
is natively supported by the UIScrollView class, but on Android, the native ScrollView class does
not support this action.
# Examples
# Simple Scroll View
Create a scroll view with content.
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
exitOnClose: true,
fullscreen: false,
title: 'ScrollView Demo'
});
var scrollView = Ti.UI.createScrollView({
showVerticalScrollIndicator: true,
showHorizontalScrollIndicator: true,
height: '80%',
width: '80%'
});
var view = Ti.UI.createView({
backgroundColor:'#336699',
borderRadius: 10,
top: 10,
height: 2000,
width: 1000
});
scrollView.add(view);
win.add(scrollView);
win.open();
# Scroll View as a Table View
Create a scroll view that contains a set of views in a layout to resemble a table view with rows. This approach can mitigate the native Android issue described in the "TextFields in Tables with SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN" section of Titanium.UI.TableView.
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
if (Ti.UI.Android){
win.windowSoftInputMode = Ti.UI.Android.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN;
}
function createRow(i) {
var row = Ti.UI.createView({
backgroundColor: 'white',
borderColor: '#bbb',
borderWidth: 1,
width:'100%', height: 70,
top: 0, left: 0
});
var inputTextField = Ti.UI.createTextField({
hintText: 'Enter value ' + i,
keyboardType: Ti.UI.KEYBOARD_NUMBERS_PUNCTUATION,
top: 10, left: '10%',
width: '80%', height: 60
});
row.add(inputTextField);
return row;
}
var scrollView = Ti.UI.createScrollView({
bottom:120,
layout: 'vertical'
});
for(var i = 0; i <= 20; i++){
var row = createRow(i);
scrollView.add(row);
}
win.add(scrollView);
var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({
backgroundColor:'darkgray',
text: 'Your advert here',
textAlign: 'center',
bottom:0,
width: Titanium.UI.FILL,
height:100
});
win.add(label);
win.open();

# Properties
# accessibilityDisableLongPress CREATION ONLY
Boolean value to remove the long press notification for the device's accessibility service.
Will disable the "double tap and hold for long press" message when selecting an item.
Default: true
Whether the view should be "hidden" from (i.e., ignored by) the accessibility service.
On iOS this is a direct analog of the accessibilityElementsHidden
property defined in the
UIAccessibility
Protocol.
On Android, setting accessibilityHidden
calls the native
View.setImportantForAccessibility
method. The native method is only available in Android 4.1 (API level 16/Jelly Bean) and
later; if this property is specified on earlier versions of Android, it is ignored.
Default: false
# accessibilityHint
Briefly describes what performing an action (such as a click) on the view will do.
On iOS this is a direct analog of the accessibilityHint
property defined in the
UIAccessibility Protocol.
On Android, it is concatenated together with
accessibilityLabel and accessibilityValue in the order: accessibilityLabel
,
accessibilityValue
, accessibilityHint
. The concatenated value is then passed as the
argument to the native View.setContentDescription method.
Default: null
# accessibilityLabel
A succint label identifying the view for the device's accessibility service.
On iOS this is a direct analog of the accessibilityLabel
property defined in the
UIAccessibility Protocol.
On Android, it is concatenated together with
accessibilityValue and accessibilityHint in the order: accessibilityLabel
,
accessibilityValue
, accessibilityHint
. The concatenated value is then passed as the
argument to the native View.setContentDescription method.
Defaults to Title or label of the control.
# accessibilityValue
A string describing the value (if any) of the view for the device's accessibility service.
On iOS this is a direct analog of the accessibilityValue
property defined in the
UIAccessibility Protocol.
On Android, it is concatenated together with
accessibilityLabel and accessibilityHint in the order: accessibilityLabel
,
accessibilityValue
, accessibilityHint
. The concatenated value is then passed as the
argument to the native View.setContentDescription method.
Defaults to State or value of the control.
# anchorPoint
Coordinate of the view about which to pivot an animation.
Used on iOS only. For Android, use anchorPoint.
Anchor point is specified as a fraction of the view's size. For example, {0, 0}
is at
the view's top-left corner, {0.5, 0.5}
at its center and {1, 1}
at its bottom-right
corner.
See the "Using an anchorPoint" example in Titanium.UI.Animation for a demonstration. The default is center of this view.
# apiName READONLY
The name of the API that this proxy corresponds to.
The value of this property is the fully qualified name of the API. For example, Titanium.UI.Button
returns Ti.UI.Button
.
# backgroundColor
Background color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.
For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI. Defaults to Transparent
.
# backgroundDisabledColor
Disabled background color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.
For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI. Defaults to the normal background color of this view.
# backgroundDisabledImage
Disabled background image for the view, specified as a local file path or URL.
If backgroundDisabledImage
is undefined, and the normal background imagebackgroundImage
is set, the normal image is used when this view is disabled.
# backgroundFocusedColor
Focused background color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.
For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI.
For normal views, the focused color is only used if focusable
is true
.
Defaults to the normal background color of this view.
# backgroundFocusedImage
Focused background image for the view, specified as a local file path or URL.
For normal views, the focused background is only used if focusable
is true
.
If backgroundFocusedImage
is undefined, and the normal background image backgroundImage
is set, the normal image is used when this view is focused.
# backgroundGradient
A background gradient for the view.
A gradient can be defined as either linear or radial. A linear gradient varies continuously
along a line between the startPoint
and endPoint
.
A radial gradient is interpolated between two circles, defined by startPoint
and
startRadius
and endPoint
and endRadius
respectively.
The start points, end points and radius values can be defined in device units, in the view's coordinates, or as percentages of the view's size. Thus, if a view is 60 x 60, the center point of the view can be specified as:
{ x: 30, y: 30 }
Or:
{ x: '50%', y: '50%' }
When specifying multiple colors, you can specify an offset value for each color, defining how far into the gradient it takes effect. For example, the following color array specifies a gradient that goes from red to blue back to red:
colors: [ { color: 'red', offset: 0.0}, { color: 'blue', offset: 0.25 }, { color: 'red', offset: 1.0 } ]
Android's linear gradients ignores backfillStart
and backfillEnd
, treating them as if
they are true. Android's radial gradients ignore the endPoint
property.
Defaults to no gradient.
# backgroundImage
Background image for the view, specified as a local file path or URL.
Default behavior when backgroundImage
is unspecified depends on the type of view and the platform.
For generic views, no image is used. For most controls (buttons, textfields, and so on), platform-specific default images are used.
# backgroundLeftCap
Size of the left end cap.
See the section on backgroundLeftCap and backgroundTopCap behavior on iOS in Titanium.UI.View.
Default: 0
# backgroundRepeat
Determines whether to tile a background across a view.
Setting this to true
makes the set backgroundImage
repeat across the view as a series
of tiles. The tiling begins in the upper-left corner, where the upper-left corner of the
background image is rendered. The image is then tiled to fill the available space of the
view.
Note that setting this to true
may incur performance penalties for large views or
background images, as the tiling must be redone whenever a view is resized.
On iOS, the following views do not currently support tiled backgrounds:
Default: false
# backgroundSelectedColor
Selected background color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.
For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI.
focusable
must be true for normal views.
Defaults to background color of this view.
# backgroundSelectedImage
Selected background image url for the view, specified as a local file path or URL.
For normal views, the selected background is only used if focusable
is true
.
If backgroundSelectedImage
is undefined, and the normal background image backgroundImage
is set
the normal image is used when this view is selected.
# backgroundTopCap
Size of the top end cap.
See the section on backgroundLeftCap and backgroundTopCap behavior on iOS in Titanium.UI.View.
Default: 0
# borderColor
Border color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.
For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI.
Defaults to the normal background color of this view (Android), black (iOS).
# borderRadius
Radius for the rounded corners of the view's border.
Each corner is rounded using an arc of a circle.
Values for each corner can be specified. For example, '20px 20px' will set both left and right corners to 20px
.
Specifying '20px 20px 20px 20px' will set top-left, top-right, bottom-right and bottom-left corners in that order.
If you have issues with dark artifacts on Android you can try to disable Hardware acceleration by setting a
backgroundColor
with a small amount of transparency: backgroundColor:"rgba(255,255,255,254)"
.
Default: 0
# borderWidth
Border width of the view.
If borderColor is set without borderWidth, this value will be changed to 1 of the unit declared as 'ti.ui.defaultunit' in tiapp.xml descriptor.
Default: 0
# bottom
View's bottom position, in platform-specific units.
This position is relative to the view's parent. Exact interpretation depends on the parent view's layout property. Can be either a float value or a dimension string (for example, '50%' or '10px').
This is an input property for specifying where the view should be positioned, and does not represent the view's calculated position.
Defaults to undefined
.
# bubbleParent
Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.
Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.
Default: true
# canCancelEvents
Determines whether this scroll view can cancel subview touches in order to scroll instead.
On iOS, this property maps to the native canCancelContentTouches
property which controls
whether touches in the content view always lead to tracking. See UIScrollView for more details.
On Android, setting this property to false prevents the scroll view from intercepting any touch events from its subviews. Note that this behavior may be slightly different from iOS.
Default: true
# center
View's center position, in the parent view's coordinates.
This is an input property for specifying where the view should be positioned, and does not represent the view's calculated position.
Defaults to undefined
.
# clipMode
View's clipping behavior.
Setting this to CLIP_MODE_ENABLED enforces all child views to be clipped to this views bounds. Setting this to CLIP_MODE_DISABLED allows child views to be drawn outside the bounds of this view. When set to CLIP_MODE_DEFAULT or when this property is not set, clipping behavior is inferred. See section on iOS Clipping Behavior in Titanium.UI.View.
Defaults to undefined
. Behaves as if set to CLIP_MODE_DEFAULT.
# contentHeight
Height of the scrollable region.
While absolute dimensions are supported, relative values, such as those provided in percentages, are not. The minimum value for contentHeight is the height of the scroll view. Measured in platform-specific units; pixels on Android, effective pixels on Windows and density-independent pixels (dip) on iOS.
# contentOffset
X and Y coordinates to which to reposition the top-left point of the scrollable region.
On iOS, a new value causes the scroll view to perform an animated scroll to the new offset. The setContentOffset method can be used to prevent this animation.
# contentWidth
Width of the scrollable region.
While absolute dimensions are supported, relative values, such as those provided in percentages, are not. The minimum value for contentWidth is the width of the scroll view. Measured in platform-specific units; pixels on Android, effective pixels on Windows and density-independent pixels (dip) on iOS.
# decelerationRate
The deceleration rate of the ScrollView.
Default: Undefined.
# disableBounce
Determines whether scroll bounce of the scrollable region is enabled.
Set to true
to disable horizontal and vertical bounce.
This property takes precedence over the horizontalBounce
and verticalBounce
properties.
Default: false
# elevation
Base elevation of the view relative to its parent in pixels.
The elevation of a view determines the appearance of its shadow. Higher elevations produce larger and softer shadows.
Note: The elevation
property only works on Titanium.UI.View
objects.
Many Android components have a default elevation that cannot be modified.
For more information, see
Google design guidelines: Elevation and shadows.
# filterTouchesWhenObscured
Discards touch related events if another app's system overlay covers the view.
This is a security feature to protect an app from "tapjacking", where a malicious app can use a system overlay to intercept touch events in your app or to trick the end-user to tap on UI in your app intended for the overlay.
Setting this property to true
causes touch related events (including "click") to not be fired
if a system overlay overlaps the view.
Default: false
# focusable
Whether view should be focusable while navigating with the trackball.
Default: false
# height
View height, in platform-specific units.
Defaults to: If undefined, defaults to either FILL or SIZE depending on the view. See "View Types and Default Layout Behavior" in Transitioning to the New UI Layout System.
Can be either a float value or a dimension string (for example, '50%' or '40dp'). Can also be one of the following special values:
- SIZE. The view should size itself to fit its contents.
- FILL. The view should size itself to fill its parent.
- 'auto'. Represents the default sizing behavior for a given type of
view. The use of 'auto' is deprecated, and should be replaced with the
SIZE
orFILL
constants if it is necessary to set the view's behavior explicitly.
This is an input property for specifying the view's height dimension. To determine the view's size once rendered, use the rect or size properties.
Sets the behavior when hiding an object to release or keep the free space
If setting hiddenBehavior
to HIDDEN_BEHAVIOR_GONE it will automatically release the space the view occupied.
For example: in a vertical layout the views below the object will move up when you hide
an object with hiddenBehavior:Titanium.UI.HIDDEN_BEHAVIOR_GONE
.
- HIDDEN_BEHAVIOR_INVISIBLE. Keeps the space and just hides the object (default).
- HIDDEN_BEHAVIOR_GONE. Releases the space and hides the object.
Defaults to Titanium.UI.HIDDEN_BEHAVIOR_INVISIBLE.
# horizontalBounce
Determines whether horizontal scroll bounce of the scrollable region is enabled.
With the default value of true
, dragging in the horizontal direction is always allowed and
also bounces.
Set to false
to disable horizontal scroll bounce if the horizontal content is smaller than
the scroll view bounds. However, larger content will still bounce when scrolled.
Note that the disableBounce
property takes precedence over the horizontalBounce
and
verticalBounce
properties.
Default: true
# horizontalMotionEffect
Adds a horizontal parallax effect to the view
Note that the parallax effect only happens by tilting the device so results can not be seen on Simulator. To clear all motion effects, use the <Titanium.UI.clearMotionEffects> method.
# horizontalWrap
Determines whether the layout has wrapping behavior.
For more information, see the discussion of horizontal layout mode in the description of the layout property.
Default: true
# id
View's identifier.
The id
property of the Ti.UI.View represents the view's identifier. The identifier string does
not have to be unique. You can use this property with getViewById method.
# keepScreenOn
Determines whether to keep the device screen on.
When true
the screen will not power down. Note: enabling this feature will use more
power, thereby adversely affecting run time when on battery.
For iOS look at idleTimerDisabled.
Default: false
# keyboardDismissMode
The manner in which the keyboard is dismissed when a drag begins in the scroll view.
Default: Undefined (behaves like Titanium.UI.iOS.KEYBOARD_DISMISS_MODE_NONE)
# layout
Specifies how the view positions its children. One of: 'composite', 'vertical', or 'horizontal'.
There are three layout options:
-
composite
(orabsolute
). Default layout. A child view is positioned based on its positioning properties or "pins" (top
,bottom
,left
,right
andcenter
). If no positioning properties are specified, the child is centered.The child is always sized based on its
width
andheight
properties, if these are specified. If the child's height or width is not specified explicitly, it may be calculated implicitly from the positioning properties. For example, if bothleft
andcenter.x
are specified, they can be used to calculate the width of the child control.Because the size and position properties can conflict, there is a specific precedence order for the layout properties. For vertical positioning, the precedence order is:
height
,top
,center.y
,bottom
.The following table summarizes the various combinations of properties that can be used for vertical positioning, in order from highest precedence to lowest. (For example, if
height
,center.y
andbottom
are all specified, theheight
andcenter.y
values take precedence.)Scenario Behavior height

.For complete details on composite layout rules, see Transitioning to the New UI Layout System in the Titanium Mobile Guides.
-
vertical
. Children are laid out vertically from top to bottom. The first child is laid outtop
units from its parent's bounding box. Each subsequent child is laid out below the previous child. The space between children is equal to the upper child'sbottom
value plus the lower child'stop
value.Each child is positioned horizontally as in the composite layout mode.
-
horizontal
. Horizontal layouts have different behavior depending on whether wrapping is enabled. Wrapping is enabled by default (thehorizontalWrap
property istrue
).With wrapping behavior, the children are laid out horizontally from left to right, in rows. If a child requires more horizontal space than exists in the current row, it is wrapped to a new row. The height of each row is equal to the maximum height of the children in that row.
Wrapping behavior is available on iOS and Android. When the
horizontalWrap
property is set to true, the first row is placed at the top of the parent view, and successive rows are placed below the first row. Each child is positioned vertically within its row somewhat like composite layout mode. In particular:- If neither
top
orbottom
is specified, the child is centered in the row. - If either
top
orbottom
is specified, the child is aligned to either the top or bottom of the row, with the specified amount of padding. - If both
top
andbottom
is specified for a given child, the properties are both treated as padding.
If the
horizontalWrap
property is false, the behavior is more equivalent to a vertical layout. Children are laid or horizontally from left to right in a single row. Theleft
andright
properties are used as padding between the children, and thetop
andbottom
properties are used to position the children vertically.Defaults to Composite layout.
- If neither
# left
View's left position, in platform-specific units.
This position is relative to the view's parent. Exact interpretation depends on the parent view's layout property. Can be either a float value or a dimension string (for example, '50%' or '10px').
This is an input property for specifying where the view should be positioned, and does not represent the view's calculated position.
Defaults to undefined
.
# lifecycleContainer
The Window or TabGroup whose Activity lifecycle should be triggered on the proxy.
If this property is set to a Window or TabGroup, then the corresponding Activity lifecycle event callbacks will also be called on the proxy. Proxies that require the activity lifecycle will need this property set to the appropriate containing Window or TabGroup.
# maxZoomScale
Maximum scaling factor of the scrollable region and its content.
This value determines how large the content can be scaled. It must be greater than the minZoomScale for zooming to be enabled. The default value is 1.0 unless otherwise specified.
Note that specifying a value less than or equal to 0 will hide all contents of the scroll view.
Default: 1
# minZoomScale
Minimum scaling factor of the scrollable region and its content.
This value determines how small the content can be scaled. It must be less than the maxZoomScale for zooming to be enabled. The default value is 1.0 unless otherwise specified.
Default: 1
# opacity
Opacity of this view, from 0.0 (transparent) to 1.0 (opaque). Defaults to 1.0 (opaque).
# overrideCurrentAnimation CREATION ONLY
When on, animate call overrides current animation if applicable.
If this property is set to false, the animate call is ignored if the view is currently being animated.
Defaults to undefined
but behaves as false
# overScrollMode
Determines the behavior when the user overscolls the view.
Default: Titanium.UI.Android.OVER_SCROLL_ALWAYS
# previewContext
The preview context used in the 3D-Touch feature "Peek and Pop".
Preview context to present the "Peek and Pop" of a view. Use an configured instance of Titanium.UI.iOS.PreviewContext here.
Note: This property can only be used on devices running iOS9 or later and supporting 3D-Touch. It is ignored on older devices and can manually be checked using forceTouchSupported.
# pullBackgroundColor
Background color of the wrapper view when this view is used as either pullView or headerPullView.
Defaults to undefined
. Results in a light grey background color on the wrapper view.
# rect READONLY
The bounding box of the view relative to its parent, in system units.
The view's bounding box is defined by its size and position.
The view's size is rect.width
x rect.height
. The view's top-left position relative to
its parent is (rect.x
, rect.y
).
On Android it will also return rect.absoluteX
and 'rect.absoluteY' which are relative to
the main window.
The correct values will only be available when layout is complete. To determine when layout is complete, add a listener for the postlayout event.
# refreshControl
View positioned above the first row that is only revealed when the user drags the scroll view contents down.
An alternate to the pullView property. See Titanium.UI.RefreshControl for usage and examples. Since Titanium SDK 7.5.0, the RefreshControl API is also available on iOS < 10.
# right
View's right position, in platform-specific units.
This position is relative to the view's parent. Exact interpretation depends on the parent view's layout property. Can be either a float value or a dimension string (for example, '50%' or '10px').
This is an input property for specifying where the view should be positioned, and does not represent the view's calculated position.
Defaults to undefined
.
# rotation
Clockwise 2D rotation of the view in degrees.
Translation values are applied to the static post layout value.
# rotationX
Clockwise rotation of the view in degrees (x-axis).
Translation values are applied to the static post layout value.
# rotationY
Clockwise rotation of the view in degrees (y-axis).
Translation values are applied to the static post layout value.
# scaleX
Scaling of the view in x-axis in pixels.
Translation values are applied to the static post layout value.
# scaleY
Scaling of the view in y-axis in pixels.
Translation values are applied to the static post layout value.
# scrollIndicatorStyle
Style of the scrollbar.
Default: Titanium.UI.iOS.ScrollIndicatorStyle.DEFAULT
# scrollingEnabled
Determines whether scrolling is enabled for the view.
Default: true
# scrollsToTop
Controls whether the scroll-to-top gesture is effective.
The scroll-to-top gesture is a tap on the status bar; The default value of this property is true. This gesture works when you have a single visible scroll view. If there are multiple table views, web views, text areas, and/or scroll views visible, you will need to disable (set to false) on the above views that you don't want this behaviour on. The remaining view will then respond to scroll-to-top gesture.
Default: true
# scrollType CREATION ONLY
Limits the direction of the scrollable region, overriding the deduced setting. Set to
horizontal
or vertical
.
See the Titanium.UI.ScrollView description for more details about how the scroll direction is deduced when this property is not defined.
# showHorizontalScrollIndicator
Determines whether the horizontal scroll indicator is visible.
Set to true
to show the horizontal scroll indicator.
Default: false
# showVerticalScrollIndicator
Determines whether the vertical scroll indicator is visible.
Set to true
to show the vertical scroll indicator.
Default: false
# size READONLY
The size of the view in system units.
Although property returns a Dimension dictionary, only the width
and height
properties are valid. The position properties--x
and y
--are always 0.
To find the position and size of the view, use the rect property instead.
The correct values will only be available when layout is complete. To determine when layout is complete, add a listener for the postlayout event.
# softKeyboardOnFocus
Determines keyboard behavior when this view is focused. Defaults to SOFT_KEYBOARD_DEFAULT_ON_FOCUS.
# tintColor
The view's tintColor
This property is a direct correspondant of the tintColor property of UIView on iOS. If no value is specified, the tintColor of the View is inherited from its superview.
Default: null
