Try this

main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:orientation="vertical"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
    <EditText
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:text="Loooooooooonng loooooooooong teeeeeeeeeeext"
        android:id="@+id/et"
        android:maxLines = "100"
        android:scrollbars = "vertical"
        />
</LinearLayout>

MyActivity.java

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
    private EditText et;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        et= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et);
        et.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
    }
}

NOTE: You cannot put scrollable control (for example ListView) in ScrollView. And I think it does not work with scrollable EditText into ScrollView.
