I have a Label inside a ScrollView, hoping that that when the (multiline) text takes up too many lines, the user can scroll up & down, and when the lines are too long, the user can scroll left & right. And I can't get it to scroll. Here's the relevant part of my Builder string:
ScrollView:
id: scrollLayout
size_hint_y: 0.9
Label:
id: sortFilesDisplay
size_hint_y: 0.9
text: 'Drag\\n in\\n files\\n to\\n be\\n sorted\\n yea\\n go\\n now\\n testing\\n please\\n work\\n now\\help'
I've read the Kivy docs on ScrollView, that say I need to specify one of the size_hints to enable scrolling. I've readseveral SO posts about getting ScrollView to work:
- Kivy ScrollView - Not Scrolling
- kivy scrollview is not working
- kivy Scrollview can't Scroll
- ScrollView widget not scolling in kivy
- Kivy -- scroll view not working. And and how add chat users on side pane
- Kivy - My ScrollView doesn't scroll
but they all involve embedding some kind of Layout (e.g. GridLayout), abut I'm not embedding a layout, just one Label. I've tried setting minimum_height to various things I saw in those posts, but still no effect.
Those two size_hint_y's are in there just to try to do as directed; I don't need them. Also tried setting them to None.
Any ideas?
Also, that static string for text isn't what I ultimately want. I want the Label to remain scrollable when the string changes (when users drop in a new list of files), but I thought perhaps the 'dynamic' action was a problem, so for now I 'retreated' to trying a static string.
