thomas88wp answer, https://stackoverflow.com/a/6486348/528746 worked for me. But I had two problems: 1. When scrolling, I wanted to hide the keyboard
2. I had lots of EditText views and didn't want to write it for each one of them
(I do getActivity() since I'm writing this inside a Fragment and not an activity)

    ScrollView scroll = (ScrollView)view.findViewById(R.id.layout_scroll);
    scroll.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            // Check if the view with focus is EditText
            if (getActivity().getCurrentFocus() instanceof EditText)
            {
                EditText ed = (EditText)getActivity().getCurrentFocus();
                if (ed.hasFocus()) {

                    // Hide the keyboard
                    InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)
                            getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
                    inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getActivity().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
                            InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
                    // Clear the focus
                    ed.clearFocus();
                }
            }
            return false;
        }

    });
