I have an EditText on my layout. Below are the attributes I currently have:

<EditText
   android:id="@+id/entryIdea"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="225sp"
   android:gravity="top"
   android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"
   android:scrollbars="vertical"/>

However, I can see the scrollbar but can't scroll it with mouse/touch. I thought that it may works if I put the corresponding listener since it works on TextView. Apparently, it isn't.

EditText et = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.entryIdea);
et.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

Can you guys help me on this?

Thank you so much in advance. Sammy
