Try this one :)

public class CustomHorizontalScrollView extends HorizontalScrollView {

    public CustomHorizontalScrollView(Context context) {
    super(context);
    }

    public CustomHorizontalScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    }

    public CustomHorizontalScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
    }

    @Override
    public void scrollTo(int x, int y) {
    super.scrollTo(x, y);
    }


    //Custom smooth scroll method since norm is final and cannot be overridden
    public final void smooothScrollToIfEnabled(int x, int y) {
    smoothScrollTo(x, y);
    }

    @Override
    protected int computeScrollDeltaToGetChildRectOnScreen(android.graphics.Rect rect) {
/*  if (getContext() != null && getContext() instanceof Activity) {
        Activity activity = (Activity) getContext();
        if (!activity.isFinishing()) {
        View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
        if (view != null) {
            if (view instanceof EditText) {
            return 0;
            }
        }
        }
    }
    return super.computeScrollDeltaToGetChildRectOnScreen(rect);

*/
return 0;
    }

}
