Can you guys help me in that . I think editText is getting the focus when cursor is inside it.

Thanks..!!!!!

Answer 1

Try this..

Add below lines into your EditText

android:overScrollMode="always"
android:scrollbarStyle="insideInset"
android:scrollbars="vertical"

Example

   <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
        android:background="#eeeeee"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"
        android:singleLine="false"
        android:overScrollMode="always"
        android:scrollbarStyle="insideInset"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        android:text="Android applications normally run entirely on a single thread by              default the “UI thread” or the “main thread”.
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" >
    </EditText>

EDIT

Programmatically

youredittext.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

      public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if (youredittext.hasFocus()) {
               v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
               switch (event.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK){
               case MotionEvent.ACTION_SCROLL:
                      v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                      return true;
                }
             }
             return false;
       }
});
