android - Scrollbars in TextView -

i didn't want use scrollview. have textview enabled vertical scrollbars.

<textview     android:id="@+id/tv_service_ticketinfo_details"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="150dp"                android:textcolor="@color/black"     android:autolink="web"     android:scrollbars="vertical"     android:text="empty"     android:background="@drawable/custom_shape_grey"> </textview> 

the problem is, scrollbars scrollable texts, contain web-links. other texts see scrollbar, can't scroll.

i can't explain it. , you?

upd:

another strange thing: once set text links, can replace 1 without links , textview stays scrollable

so think problem textviews don't automatically scroll, because set android:scrollbars. have set scrollingmovementmethod.

however, when use autolink , links found, android framework set movementmethod you. that's why behaviour's different.

there 2 solutions work me.

after set our text, force movement method 1 supports links , scrolling.

final textview output = (textview) findviewbyid(r.id.output); output.settext(content); // ensure text scroll or without linked text output.setmovementmethod(linkmovementmethod.getinstance()); 

or set movement method, assuming plaintext, before adding text textview. if autolink detects links, change movement method itself.

final textview output = (textview) findviewbyid(r.id.t_output); // ensure text defaults scrollable output.setmovementmethod(scrollingmovementmethod.getinstance()); output.settext(content); 

(fyi: i'm using android:autolink="all")
