EditText not scrollable inside ScrollView

Question

I have a ScrollView inside which is an EditText which is set to scroll vertically. But it does not scrolls. Instead the whole layout scrolls, Whenever i try to scroll the EditText. Below is the code -

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/b1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="39dp"
    android:text="Title"
    android:textColor="#3bb9ff"
    android:textSize="15sp" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/Text1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:ems="10"
    android:hint="Title"
    android:singleLine="true" >

    <requestFocus />

</EditText>

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Content"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
    android:textColor="#3bb9ff"
    android:textSize="15sp"
   />


<EditText
    android:id="@+id/newTodoText"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:minLines="2"
    android:maxLines="7"
     android:hint="Write something"
     android:scrollbars = "vertical" >
</EditText>
<Button
    android:id="@+id/Add"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:text="Add" />


</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

The EditText with id "newTodoText" is in question here.

Answer 1

EditText EtOne = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
EtOne.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        if (v.getId() == R.id.EditText01) {
            v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
            switch (event.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                break;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
});

You have to just replace your <ScrollView ></ScrollView> with this Custom ScrollView like <com.example.VerticalScrollview > </com.example.VerticalScrollview >

package com.example;  import android.content.Context; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.util.Log; import android.view.MotionEvent; import android.widget.ScrollView;  public class VerticalScrollview extends ScrollView{      public VerticalScrollview(Context context) {         super(context);     }       public VerticalScrollview(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {             super(context, attrs);         }          public VerticalScrollview(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {             super(context, attrs, defStyle);         }      @Override     public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {         final int action = ev.getAction();         switch (action)         {             case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:                     Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onInterceptTouchEvent: DOWN super false" );                     super.onTouchEvent(ev);                     break;              case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:                     return false; // redirect MotionEvents to ourself              case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:                     Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onInterceptTouchEvent: CANCEL super false" );                     super.onTouchEvent(ev);                     break;              case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:                     Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onInterceptTouchEvent: UP super false" );                     return false;              default: Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onInterceptTouchEvent: " + action ); break;         }          return false;     }      @Override     public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {         super.onTouchEvent(ev);         Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onTouchEvent. action: " + ev.getAction() );          return true;     } } 

Answer 3

mEdtText1.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { 
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
                mScrlMain.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                return false;
            }
        });

// change hear mEdtText1 with your edit text object and also change mScrlMain with your scroll view object they work definitely.

Answer 4

you should use NestedScrollView class. This class support child scrolling inside parent scrolling. This class can be a child or a parent.

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView         
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="#d6d8d9">
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">
        <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:maxLines="512"
                android:text=" your content"/>
        <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
            android:layout_below="@id/ll_button"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:background="#d6d8d9">

            <EditText
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
                android:text="your content"
                android:maxLines="512"/>    
        </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>       
    </LinearLayout>

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView> 

Answer 5

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

This will make your entire layout scrollable.

For setting your edittext scrollable add android:scrollbars="vertical" to your edittext

In your code its already written

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/newTodoText"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:minLines="2"
    android:maxLines="7"
     android:hint="Write something"
     android:scrollbars = "vertical" >

Remove the from code.It will work fine
