I am currently refreshing my android developement skills and came across the CalendarView component. I wanted to disable the scrolling of the calendar and instead enable the arrows to browse through the calendar.
What I want to know is the following: How can I disable the scrolling from the CalendarView? And why does Android Studio show me the arrow browse-version in the Designer-Mode but compiles and runs the scroll-version of the calendar?
I am running an Android VM, a "Galaxy Nexus" with API 22. I also posted the "build.gradle" further below.
// activity_main.java:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp">
<CalendarView
android:id="@+id/calendarView4"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:isScrollContainer="false" />
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
// build.gradle
plugins {

}
android {

}
}

Thanks to Vaibhav Goyal i came across the solution.
The API level I used was to low (API 22, Android 5.1). Changing that to API 23 (Android 6.0) solved my problem. Now it shows me the CalendarView with arrow-navigation instead of the scroll version!
