Question

I m migrating from anko and can t get the same effect for padding and margins Here is an example `return scrollView ` ` verticalLayout ` ` lparams ` ` margin = dip buttonMargin Margin for all sides except bottom it doesn t work in ScrollView ` ` ` ` bottomPadding = dip 2 buttonMargin Special padding for bottom of ScrollView ` ` ` I tried something like `private val scrollView = view ScrollView ` ` add content lParams ` ` margin = dip buttonMargin Margin for all sides except bottom it doesn t work in ScrollView ` ` width = matchParent` ` height = matchParent` ` bottomPadding = dip buttonMargin Special padding for bottom of ScrollView ` ` ` ` ` ` override val root = verticalLayout ` ` background = resources getDrawable android R color white null ` ` add scrollView lParams ` ` margin = dip buttonMargin Margin for all sides except bottom it doesn t work in ScrollView ` ` width = matchParent` ` height = matchParent` ` bottomPadding = dip buttonMargin Special padding for bottom of ScrollView ` ` ` ` ` But no margins padding is applied at all What s wrong

Why don t you use triple quotes for the snippets Single quoting every line makes it harder for both writing and reading with the added bounding boxes

< ispbox> Anyway the snippets are far from being equivalent as you have a `LinearLayout` inside a `ScrollView` in the Anko snippet but the other way around for the Splitties snippet For the Splitties version you should use the `wrapInScrollView ` extension function instead of `view ScrollView ` it s simpler and harder to misuse After that make sure you re setting the margin on the right layout params and the padding on the right view beware of receiver clash if any the closest one will be picked

< louiscad> thanks for quick reply ``` private val scrollView = view ScrollView background = resources getDrawable android R color holo red dark null add content lParams margin = dip 10 width = matchParent height = matchParent override val root = verticalLayout background = resources getDrawable android R color white null add scrollView lParams width = matchParent height = matchParent bottomPadding = dip 10 ```

Here is how it works as desired there is bottom padding for ScrollView and margins for content from top left and right Actually I didn t find a way how to replace this code with `wrapInScrollView ` correctly

And about equivalents I want to thank you for Splitties as it provides much better user experience in a case when you don t want to use activities fragments at all I m going to use Conductor for my views and Anko looks ugly in such scenario Your approach with `Ui` interface is much better slightly smiling face

Great you found a working way If you want to use `wrapInScrollView` without having to bring your own version to support non default layout params you could probably ditch usage of margin and use padding only for the content of the ScrollView I m interested to know how it works for you with Conductor please let me know then And thanks for the recognition I appreciate it

gt could probably ditch usage of margin and use padding only for the content of the ScrollView Unfortunately that s not the case It is Android bug with ScrollView it cuts its content from bottom And in case of padding I get scrollbar in not appropriate place slightly smiling face I ll keep you informed about my experience with Conductor + Splitties DSL

I ve found a better solution from one of the Splitties samples ``` private val scrollView = view ScrollView add content lParams width = matchParent height = matchParent horizontalMargin = dip buttonMargin Margin for left and right verticalPadding = dip buttonMargin Padding for top and bottom Works good with clipToPadding = false clipToPadding = false ```
