Employment/Purpose

since 6.5 Applications exceeding a browser’s viewport relies on desktop browsers to automatically generates scrollbars by using CSS overflow attribute so users can view the entire page but this feature, unfortunately, is not available on tablet or mobile browsers.

Scrollview is a container that makes its content scrollable on tablet/mobile device with a rubber band effect you see on iPhone/iPad. When you attempt to scroll past the end of the content area, the area still moves slowly with your fingers. Since there is no more content, then the area will bounce back to the correct position after your fingers leave the screen.

When end users access your application via a tablet or any mobile devices, Scrollview detects and triggers this feature. Oppositely, if the application is accessed via a desktop browser, Scrollview remains un-triggered while desktop browser will automatically generate scrollbars when needed just like before.

Example

You can scroll up/down to see other window components with the following sample ZUL. image:ScrollviewExample_Update.png

</scrollview>
