Answer 1

Actually i found a simple answer for this just add "setfocusable(false)" in the associated java file.....in this case the "webview" coz its scroll there first....so add "webview.setfocusable(false)" in the associated webview java class.

Answer 2

In case you do want to set this manually using Java; Try this- it really works: Use FOCUS_UP to scroll to the top and FOCUS_DOWN to scroll it to the Bottom.

scrollView.post(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            scrollView.fullScroll(View.FOCUS_UP);
                        }

What worked for me is a combination of the answers from Punit Sharma and FAЯAƸ.

My issue was a scrollable view (RecyclerView) inside another scrollable view (NestedScrollView) -- same as your WebView inside a ScrollView.

Wrapping my inner scrollable view inside a FragmentLayout with attribute android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" solved my auto-to-bottom-scrolling issue.

<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        ....

        <FrameLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
            ...>
            <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
                android:id="@+id/image_gridview"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
       </FrameLayout>

    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>

Actually, we will face the scrolling problem if child inside ScrollView supports scrolling too like ListView and in your case WebView.

I found a similar question with some workaround. It supports vertical scrolling but horizontal scrolling is not supported if HTML page exceeds the WebView width.

See this for reference.

I also face the same scenario once but adding the descendantFocusability attribute to the ScrollView's containing LinearLayout, solve my issue.

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

you can use this as :

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" >

Answer 6

Set android:focusableInTouchMode="true" in your linear layout:

<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
