Fixed height ChipsView does not scroll

[jlindenbaum]

When setting the layout_height to a fixed height, instead of wrap_content it's not possible to scroll through the chips added.

EDIT
It's easy to wrap the ChipsView in a ScrollView with a fixed height, and setting the ChipsView to match_parent. This almost gives the desired result. An odd case where if the scroll view is not scrolled it is not possible to remove chips, the second "remove" tap is swallowed. A work around is to fullScroll(VIEW.FOCUS_DOWN) on the containing scroll view each time a chip is added in the ChipsListener call back. This properly allows the removal of chips again.

I stepped through this in the debugger a bit, and it's a difficult problem to express. If the ChipsView is contained in a ScrollView the unSelectChipsExcept() function acts up. It always marks all chips as unselected, but the UI never updates to reflect that. The chip remains visually selected, but its selected flag is set to false. For whatever reason this is mitigated when the ScrollView is scrolled.

For anyone else with issues of having a ChipsView inside a ScrollView the issue with the removal of the chips was not being triggered properly due to the ScrollView consistently giving focus back to the EditText within the ChipsView, this would mark all chips as unselected (bot not update the UI to reflect that).

This SO worked for me, ensuring the surrounding ScrollView does not give focus back to the EditText unless a user explicitly taps it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5375838/scrollview-disable-focus-move

Hey @jlindenbaum,
thanks for your feedback. Due to your suggestions we decided to make the ChipsView itself a ScrollView. Therefore you should consider that you do not need to wrap it in your own ScrollView anymore after you upgrade to the new version and use app:cv_max_height="${dimension}" instead.

Is there a way to disable the scroll? I have two chipViews and I only want to add chips for the second one while the first one only has one not editable chip

In the meantime, I disabled with this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18893198/how-to-disable-and-enable-the-scrolling-on-android-scrollview
