Android: make a scrollable custom view

Question

I've rolled my own custom view and can draw to the screen alright, but what I'd really like to do is set the measuredHeigh of the screen to, say, 1000px and let the user scroll on the Y axis, but I'm having problems doing this. Can anyone help?

Here's some code:

public class TestScreen extends Activity  {
     CustomDrawableView mCustomDrawableView;
     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);    
         mCustomDrawableView = new CustomDrawableView(this);
         setContentView(mCustomDrawableView);
     }
 }

and

public class CustomDrawableView extends View {

    public CustomDrawableView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true);
        setMinimumHeight(1000);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        canvas.drawLine(...);
        // more drawing
    }
}

I've tried to override scrollTo, scrollBy, awakenScrollBars etc with a call to super but to no avail. Am I missing something silly, or am I making some fundamental mistake?

Thank you in advance,

Martyn

Addition:

I've tried to add this as a custom component with the below layout file and changed the code in TestScreen to point at the correct resource with setContentView(R.layout.exampleLayout), but this causes the emulator to crash. I tried commenting the code down to the bare minimum and it still crashes, so there's something fundamentally wrong that I'm doing but I'm not sure what it is :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content">
       <ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
            <com.martyn.testApp.CustomDrawableView
               android:layout_width="fill_parent"
               android:layout_height="fill_parent"
             />
       </ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

Just put your view in a ScrollView!

Note that the ScrollWiew should be the root node (here it's your LinearLayout)
