nUIContainerElement

com.softwareag.mobile.runtime.nui.nUIContainerElement

Use to display a container that holds other NativeUI objects.

You can set the container’s attributes to allow scrolling. For example, the application might use the container to hold long pieces of text that exceeds the viewable area, allowing the user to scroll through the text.

Usage Notes

Set the Height attribute to set height of the object. By default, the nUIContainerElement object occupies the remaining width of the parent object. However, you can adjust the width of the nUIContainerElement object using the Width attribute.

If you want to use a scrolling nUIContainerElement object in a view, ensure that the parent nUIViewDisplay object does not allow scrolling.

Caution:

Setting the Hscrollable attribute to true to allow horizontal scrolling currently results in undefined behavior.

The following are platform-specific considerations:

Android	The InnerX and InnerY default values are 0 (zero).
iOS	The InnerX and InnerY default values are 0 (zero).
Windows Phone	The InnerX and InnerY default values are 0 (zero).
Windows RT Windows 8	The InnerX and InnerY default values are 0 (zero).

Example

This code sample displays the nUIContainerElement object between two nUIButtonElement objects. Illustrations of how the example code is rendered on various platforms follows the code sample.

//Add buttons to help demonstrate the bounds of the container.
view.add(new nUIButtonElement(-1, "nUIButtonElement 1"));

nUIContainerElement my_container = new nUIContainerElement(-1);
my_container.setHeight(150);
my_container.add(new nUITextfieldElement(-1, LOREM_IPSUM_STRING));
view.add(my_container);

view.add(new nUIButtonElement(-1, "nUIButtonElement 2"));
