Making TextView scrollable on Android

Solution
You don't need to use a `ScrollView` actually.
Just set the
android:scrollbars = "vertical"
properties of your `TextView` in your layout's xml file.
Then use:
`yourTextView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());`
in your code.
Bingo, it scrolls!
Problem
I am displaying text in a TextView that appears to be too long to fit into one screen. I need to make my TextView scrollable. How can I do that? Here is the code: ``` final TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.splash); tv.setTypeface(face); tv.setTextSize(18); tv.setTextColor(R.color.BROWN); tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL| Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL); tv.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent e) { Random r = new Random(); int i = r.nextInt(101); if (e.getAction() == e.ACTION_DOWN) { tv.setText(tips[i]); tv.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.inner); } return true; } }); setContentView(tv); ```
