i wanted to create a terminal/console, where the user can enter commands. I know java, but i'm new to xml, so i wanted to know how i can spawn text under text and if it gets to long it should be scrollable, here's a picture:
and here's my xml cpde for it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#d1d1d1">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:weightSum="1">
<EditText
android:layout_width="175dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/consoleText"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:hint="Command"
android:layout_weight="0.99" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Send"
android:id="@+id/sendButton"
android:layout_gravity="bottom" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
and here's my code for getting the text:
public class FragmentConsole extends Fragment{
EditText text;
Button button;
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.console,
container, false);
button = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.sendButton);
text = (EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.consoleText);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
Log.v("EditText", text.getText().toString());
}
});
return view;
}
}
So i will use some photoshopped pictures to show what i want to do, so each time i enter a command in this case i will use the example "command one","command two" & "command three", so and if i click the send button after each of them they should apper like this:
so and if the text reaches this black bar:
the above added text should get pushed in a scrollview and every new text will also get part of the scrollview, so that you can scroll through your commands later on. I know this is a long post and i hope it is clear what i want to do and someone will know how i could do this. So thanks in advance :)
