ScrollView containing TextView does not scroll

Question

I have a textview displaying many individual words, each word is a link using Spans and setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); The textview is wrapped by a ScrollView.

However the ScrollView does not work as the links in the TextView are activated instead.

Is there a way to combine a ScrollView and TextView so that both the scrolling and links in the text work?

Answer 1

This might be because the links or the TextView are consuming the touches. A starting point might be to play around with the onTouch() of the views involved to find out where the touches are consumed and then passing those touches to the ScrollView.
