First get the x/y coordinates of your Edittext using View.getLocationOnScreen (int[] location) ( After the method returns, the array contains the x and y location in that order)

Problem
have an edittext inside scrollview. (and there are other views inside scrollview above edittext.) When user presses the edittext, keyboard becames visible and the visible area of the scrollview becames small. Because of that edittext does not shown in the screen. (it does not scroll the scrollview so that edit text will be shown.) After user presses any key in the keyboard, scrollview scrolls so that edittext becames visible again. how can i force the scrollview to scroll so that edittext will be visible before user presses on the keyboard? ``` <ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dip" android:layout_weight="1" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingBottom="0dip" android:paddingLeft="0dip" android:paddingRight="0dip" android:paddingTop="0dip" > <include layout="@layout/trade_row_item_3cell" /> <include android:id="@+id/rowQuantity" layout="@layout/trade_quantity_selection_row_layout" /> <include layout="@layout/trade_row_item_3cell" /> <include layout="@layout/trade_price_selection_et_row_layout" /> <include layout="@layout/trade_row_item_3cell" /> <include layout="@layout/trade_row_item_3cell" /> <Button style="@style/CustomButtonText" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_weight="0" /> </LinearLayout> </ScrollView> <include layout="@layout/trade_bottom_view" /> ``` Here is the layout(trade_quantity_selection_row_layout) which contains the edittext ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_gravity="left" android:background="@android:drawable/list_selector_background"> <TextView android:id="@+id/tvLeft" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:singleLine="true" android:textColor="#000000" android:paddingLeft="10dip" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"/> <EditText android:id="@+id/etRight" android:paddingLeft="10dip" android:background="@null" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:inputType="number" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"/> <ImageView android:id="@+id/ivRight" android:src="@drawable/proceed" android:paddingRight="10dip" android:layout_weight="0" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"/> ``` trade_row_item_3cell layout contains linearlayout with edittexts.
