How to scroll the edittext inside the scrollview

Question

I have a scrollview inside which there is a editext which is multiline. I want to scroll the edittext to see the lower content but it can't be done.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:orientation="vertical" >     <LinearLayout         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="50dp"         android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_light"         android:gravity="center" >         <TextView             android:id="@+id/textView1"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:text="View Complaint"             android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />     </LinearLayout>     <ScrollView         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="fill_parent" >         <LinearLayout             android:layout_width="fill_parent"             android:layout_height="fill_parent"             android:orientation="vertical"             android:padding="20dp" >             <TextView                 android:id="@+id/textView2"                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                 android:layout_marginTop="15dp"                 android:text="Order Number 0100C1"                 android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />             <TextView                 android:id="@+id/textView3"                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                 android:layout_marginTop="5dp"                 android:text="Name of ClientClient 1"                 android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />             <TextView                 android:id="@+id/textView4"                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                 android:layout_marginTop="5dp"                 android:text="Subject : Measurement Issues"                 android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />             <TextView                 android:id="@+id/textView5"                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                 android:layout_marginTop="25dp"                 android:text="Description"                 android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />             <TextView                 android:id="@+id/textView6"                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                 android:layout_marginTop="15dp"                 android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, sapien etiam, nunc amet dolor ac odio mauris justo.

Can you guys help me in that . I think editText is getting the focus when cursor is inside it.

Thanks..!!!!!

Try this..

Add below lines into your EditText

android:overScrollMode="always" android:scrollbarStyle="insideInset" android:scrollbars="vertical" 

Example

   <EditText         android:id="@+id/editText1"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="200dp"         android:layout_marginTop="15dp"         android:background="#eeeeee"         android:inputType="textMultiLine"         android:singleLine="false"         android:overScrollMode="always"         android:scrollbarStyle="insideInset"         android:scrollbars="vertical"         android:text="Android applications normally run entirely on a single thread by              default the “UI thread” or the “main thread”.         android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" >     </EditText> 

EDIT

Programmatically

youredittext.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {             if (youredittext.hasFocus()) {                v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);                switch (event.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK){                case MotionEvent.ACTION_SCROLL:                       v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);                       return true;                 }              }              return false;        } });
