How to work with both a horizontal & vertical scrollview (swift)












0















Im working on a screen (shown below) that utilizes two scroll views. The Vertical scroll view is the base and it has another view within it for all the content. Within that view theres another scroll view that moves horizontally.



So for reference:
Scroll view (vertical) -> view -> Scroll view (horizontal)



Another thing to point out is the intrinsic text view within the first scroll view that pulls data from the backend.



The problem Im facing is this: The vertical scroll view allows you to move up and down but it stops based off of whatever height is set. So if I set the height to 1000, it will get to that point but how won't go any further. If the description is longer than that, it gets cut off so



1) how do I adjust the scrollview (vertical) so that he scrolls as far as it needs to in order to display the entire description text? Basically, how do I adjust the height of the scrollview based off of the height of the textview.



The second issue Im facing is the fact that the vertical scrollview works but the horizontal one doesn't. I've used this horizontal scrollview in many other apps with the same constraints (shown below) but never with it being within a vertical scroll view. Now that its there, it won't work while the other works, and vice versa. so,



2) How do I correctly constrain both scroll views so that they work in unison? The vertical scroll view should scroll up and down and whenever I swipe left or right on the horizontal scroll view, it should move correctly as well.

  • Is The Second Scroll View the one on top, that you want to scroll horizontally? Are you using a textView instead of a label because it needs to be editable?

  • Yeah, its the one on top and Idk I just always figured that with the amount of text Its pulling, it should be a text view. So you're saying do a label instead?

  • In general, use a textView if you want editing and/or scrolling. Is your goal to have the text scroll vertically, while the "top horizontal" scroll view remains visible? Or should everything scroll vertically? And... I don't see where you're setting any content of the "top horizontal" scroll view?

It's common to have a horizontal scroll view embedded in a vertical scroll view - you just need to get the constraints set correctly.



Also, using the proper constraints, it's easy to have the scroll view's content control the scrollable area -- without having to calculate and explicitly set the .contentSize.



Here is the layout. The main view background is Pink; the vertical scroll view is Yellow; the horizontal scroll view is Green:



enter image description here



The vertical scroll view is constrained to 0 on all 4 sides, and it's constrained Equal Width and Height to the main view.



The horizontal scroll view is constrained 0 for Leading, Top and Trailing (no Bottom constraint), and a Height constraint of 390, and it's constrained Equal Width to the main view.



The image view is constrained Leading 10 with W/H of 40.



The Title label is constrained to the image view.



The Description Label (number of lines = 0) is constrained Leading to the image view, Width Equal to the vertical scroll view -20 (10 on the left and 10 on the right). And it's constrained 0 on the Bottom. As you add text to the label and its height grows, that will automatically increase the height of the vertical scroll view's scrollable area (its .contentSize).



Here is the result, before and after scrolling:



enter image description here



And, for clarity, how it looks using Debug View Hierarchy:



enter image description here



To help you get it set up correctly, here's the controller class (no sizing code needed - all it's doing is adding text to the label):



class EmbeddedScrollViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet var descriptionLabel: UILabel!

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()

// 20 lines of text
descriptionLabel.text = (1...20).map({ "Line ($0)" }).joined(separator: "n")

}
}

  • Wow, thank you so much for taking out the time to do all of this! I greatly appreciate it. One thing though: For me, it worked with the height not being set on the vertical scroll view. Just the width.

I would use a CollecttionView or tableView and then put a CollectionView in the cell that you want horizontal scrolling.



You can resize the cell containing the textview in different ways

    It's common to have a horizontal scroll view embedded in a vertical scroll view - you just need to get the constraints set correctly.



    Also, using the proper constraints, it's easy to have the scroll view's content control the scrollable area -- without having to calculate and explicitly set the .contentSize.



    Here is the layout. The main view background is Pink; the vertical scroll view is Yellow; the horizontal scroll view is Green:



    enter image description here



    The vertical scroll view is constrained to 0 on all 4 sides, and it's constrained Equal Width and Height to the main view.



    The horizontal scroll view is constrained 0 for Leading, Top and Trailing (no Bottom constraint), and a Height constraint of 390, and it's constrained Equal Width to the main view.



    The image view is constrained Leading 10 with W/H of 40.



    The Title label is constrained to the image view.



    The Description Label (number of lines = 0) is constrained Leading to the image view, Width Equal to the vertical scroll view -20 (10 on the left and 10 on the right). And it's constrained 0 on the Bottom. As you add text to the label and its height grows, that will automatically increase the height of the vertical scroll view's scrollable area (its .contentSize).



    Here is the result, before and after scrolling:



    enter image description here



    And, for clarity, how it looks using Debug View Hierarchy:



    enter image description here



    To help you get it set up correctly, here's the controller class (no sizing code needed - all it's doing is adding text to the label):



    class EmbeddedScrollViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet var descriptionLabel: UILabel!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // 20 lines of text
    descriptionLabel.text = (1...20).map({ "Line ($0)" }).joined(separator: "n")

    }
    }

    • Wow, thank you so much for taking out the time to do all of this! I greatly appreciate it. One thing though: For me, it worked with the height not being set on the vertical scroll view. Just the width.

    • Wow, thank you so much for taking out the time to do all of this! I greatly appreciate it. One thing though: For me, it worked with the height not being set on the vertical scroll view. Just the width.

    It's common to have a horizontal scroll view embedded in a vertical scroll view - you just need to get the constraints set correctly.



    Also, using the proper constraints, it's easy to have the scroll view's content control the scrollable area -- without having to calculate and explicitly set the .contentSize.



    Here is the layout. The main view background is Pink; the vertical scroll view is Yellow; the horizontal scroll view is Green:



    enter image description here



    The vertical scroll view is constrained to 0 on all 4 sides, and it's constrained Equal Width and Height to the main view.



    The horizontal scroll view is constrained 0 for Leading, Top and Trailing (no Bottom constraint), and a Height constraint of 390, and it's constrained Equal Width to the main view.



    The image view is constrained Leading 10 with W/H of 40.



    The Title label is constrained to the image view.



    The Description Label (number of lines = 0) is constrained Leading to the image view, Width Equal to the vertical scroll view -20 (10 on the left and 10 on the right). And it's constrained 0 on the Bottom. As you add text to the label and its height grows, that will automatically increase the height of the vertical scroll view's scrollable area (its .contentSize).



    Here is the result, before and after scrolling:



    enter image description here



    And, for clarity, how it looks using Debug View Hierarchy:



    enter image description here



    To help you get it set up correctly, here's the controller class (no sizing code needed - all it's doing is adding text to the label):



    class EmbeddedScrollViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet var descriptionLabel: UILabel!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // 20 lines of text
    descriptionLabel.text = (1...20).map({ "Line ($0)" }).joined(separator: "n")

    }
    }

    • Wow, thank you so much for taking out the time to do all of this! I greatly appreciate it. One thing though: For me, it worked with the height not being set on the vertical scroll view. Just the width.

    I would use a CollecttionView or tableView and then put a CollectionView in the cell that you want horizontal scrolling.



    You can resize the cell containing the textview in different ways
