Answer 1

Try this, add these lines to your edit text view, i'll add mine. make sure you understand it

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

and on your java class make on click listner to this edit text as follows, i'll add mine, chane names according to yours.

EditText description;
description = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText_newprom_description);

description.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {

                view.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                switch (motionEvent.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK){
                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                        view.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                        break;
                }

                return false;
            }

        });

this works fine for me
