Have you tried handle back button press and save the text scroll and save it in sharedPreference and load it when the app reopen.

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {  
getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("myData", 0).edit().putInt("lastPos", tv.getScrollY());
super.onBackPressed();
}

and put this in onCreat

//first remember to defined tv
tv.scrollTo(0,getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("myData", 0).getInt("lastPos", 0));
