I am having trouble using ScrollView I can't get it to actually scroll. I have the content size larger than the ScrollView size. But it refuses to scroll.

I will post some code later.

See ScrollView.py in https://github.com/humberry/ui-tutorial

I will try that out when I can. (It's like 1 AM here so yeah. Can't look at it now.)

@chibill, from memory I think it will be the content_size not being set. A few have had simlar problems.

Well the github example works but mine does not. And the only difference is I have multiple things I add as sub_veiws to the ScrollView object.

Even if I encapsulate the multiple parts in a View object then add it to sub_view it does not work.

@chibill , best way is to make a basic example of what you are trying to do and post it. I do that all the time. When I am making the basic example to post I get the light bulb moment and see the problem

I can upload a zip on the files. (There is like four files.)

@chibill the easiest way to share is to create a folder, put your files in it, then from the file menu, clck edit, select the folder, then click share, and select Gist.

I can't share that way it seems. It keeps telling me 'unable to create gist. Error 422'

@chibill , just copy and paste your code into the forum
Use the icon in the forum and paste your code in the text template that's displayed. Then your code will be formatted

It's abit messy because of trying to make it work.

The file Ping is just to get the ping information of Mc Servers. And the MCServer.pyui is just view that I use as a template to not have to make a lot of code to build the list.

@chibill , ok. Still it's just difficult to work out with all the code. That's why I say if you just do a minimal version of your code to post. Easy for people to help and also I think 9 times out of 10 you get the answer yourself. The simple things are easily not spotted because you are thinking about your logic.

But I hope this helps. I am not writing anything into the scroll view, but you can see it scrolls vertically. 4 times the height of the view.bounds.height

import ui

if __name__ == '__main__':
    f = (0, 0, 600, 800)
    v = ui.View(frame = f, bg_color = 'teal')
    sv = ui.ScrollView(frame = f, bg_color = 'white')
    sv.content_size = (v.bounds.width, v.bounds.height * 4)
    v.add_subview(sv)

    v.present('sheet')

@chibill , hmmm, I think I see now. You have to use a tuple to set content_size (w,h)

Yeah that was the whole problem. Which makes me feel sort of dumb.

@chibill , no need to,feel,dumb. I have done that for you me and the rest of planet here 😱 We keep asking we keep learning
