Below Answer will help you to make Edit Text scrollable inside Scroll View and also show Count of it.

1.Make one rectangle_with_border_gray.xml file in @drawable folder.

2.Then, In @layout write below code in scroll view.

3.Then, Inside your Activity or Fragment write below code:

TextView tv_description_count = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_description_count);

EditText et_optional_message = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et_optional_message);

private void makeScrollable(){
            et_optional_message.addTextChangedListener(mTextEditorWatcher);
            et_optional_message.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_SCROLL:
                            view.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                            return true;
                        case MotionEvent.ACTION_BUTTON_PRESS:
                            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                            imm.showSoftInput(et_optional_message, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
                    }
                    return false;
                }
            });
        }

 private final TextWatcher mTextEditorWatcher = new TextWatcher() {
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
            }

            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                //This sets a textview to the current length
                tv_description_count.setText(String.valueOf(s.length()));
            }

            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
            }
        };

Happy Coding......
