How to move the control to the bottom of a TextView in ScrollView ( Scroll to bottom)

Question

In my layout I have a TextView inside a ScrollView. But I am unable to scroll to the bottom of the TextView programmatically.

I have tried with setSelection(int) but the method is undefined for TextView. So can any one help me.

Thanks in advance.

Ok finally i got the work around.

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);//my text view
ScrollView sv = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scrollView);//my scrollview
String log ="a Very long text";
tv.setText(log);
sv.post(new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
    sv.scrollTo(0, tv.getHeight());
  }
});
