Is it possible to add a scrollable TextView to a ListView?

Question

I have a ListView where each row has a fixed height.
Every row contains, next to some images, a TextView.
Sometimes, the text I want to display is too large and henc

I can make this work by creating a subclass of ListView and override onTouchEvent as follows:
- I first check whether the MotionEvent is inside a childView
- if it is, I call the child's onTouchEvent

This does seem quite basic framework functionality so I'm surprised that this isn't handled by ListView itself. Am I missing something?

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
    {
        //find correct child
        View theChild = null;
        boolean handled = false;
        for (int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); i++)
        {
            View child = getChildAt(i);
            Rect rect = new Rect();
            child.getDrawingRect(rect);
            offsetDescendantRectToMyCoords(child, rect);
            if(rect.contains((int)event.getX(), (int)event.getY()))
            {
                theChild = child;
            }
        }
        if(theChild!=null)
        {
            handled = theChild.onTouchEvent(event);
        }
        if(!handled) handled = super.onTouchEvent(event);

        return handled;
    }
