                        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                            view.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                            break;
                        }
                    }

Answer 3

You can do one thing.

Just make edit text focusable false. And apply on touch listener.

So user is not able to edit text and it will scroll as:

EditText editText = new EditText(this);
editText.setId(1);
editText.setLayoutParams(new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,0f));
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE);
editText.setGravity(Gravity.TOP|Gravity.LEFT);
editText.setHint("Comment");
editText.setSingleLine(false);
editText.setLines(5);
editText.setMaxLines(5);
editText.setText(CommentFromDB);
editTextRemark.setFocusable(false);

Apply onTouchListner as:

editTextRemark.setOnTouchListener(touchListener);

and

OnTouchListener touchListener = new View.OnTouchListener(){
    public boolean onTouch(final View v, final MotionEvent motionEvent){
        if(v.getId() == 1){
            v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
            switch (motionEvent.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK){
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                    v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                break;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
};

Hope this answer will help you.
