Answer 2

noteEdit.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
    ScrollingMovementMethod.getInstance();


    noteEdit.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

            noteEdit.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);

            return false;
        }


    });

Answer 3

• You have set ScrollView as your parent most layout. That's reason your whole layout gets scrolled.
• As, far as your EditText is concerned, you have used android:scrollbars = "vertical" which means if the EditText grows a vertical srollBar will appear. You will get the scrollbar and scrolling effect only if edittext has data high enough..

Hope this helps...

Answer 4

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

This will make your entire layout scrollable.

For setting your edittext scrollable add android:scrollbars="vertical" to your edittext

In your code its already written

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/newTodoText"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:minLines="2"
    android:maxLines="7"
     android:hint="Write something"
     android:scrollbars = "vertical" >

Remove the from code.It will work fine

Answer 5

you should use NestedScrollView class. This class support child scrolling inside parent scrolling. This class can be a child or a parent.

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView         
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="#d6d8d9">
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">
        <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:maxLines="512"
                android:text=" your content"/>
        <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
            android:layout_below="@id/ll_button"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:background="#d6d8d9">

            <EditText
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
                android:text="your content"
                android:maxLines="512"/>    
        </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>       
    </LinearLayout>

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
