Answer 1

We can write a custom ScrollView and override the onScrollChanged method and clear the focus from the focused view and optionally hide the keyboard.

@Override
protected void onScrollChanged(int l, int t, int oldl, int oldt) {
    View v = getFocusedChild();
    if (v != null) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
        v.clearFocus();
    }
    super.onScrollChanged(l, t, oldl, oldt);
}
