Android TextView with scrollbars and maxHeight

Question

I need to set the TextView maximum height (either using maxHeight or maxLines). And if there are more lines of text the scrollbars should be shown. What markup should I use

Answer 1

Layout:

Code:

TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_view);
textView.setMovementMethod(ScrollingMovementMethod.getInstance());

Note:

The android:textColor="@android:color/secondary_text_dark_nodisable" is used to avoid text fade out when textView is touched.
