Answer 1:

add this line in your java code where the text view is defined

textview.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

and add this in your xml file

 android:fadeScrollbars="false"
 android:scrollbars="horizontal"

Answer 2:

For your password EditText add this line in your xml file

 android:inputType="textPassword"

Answer 3:

Use Dialog for the same. Something like this

myDialog = new Dialog(Login.this);
            myDialog.setContentView(R.layout.emailpop);
            myDialog.setTitle("Login");
            myDialog.setCancelable(true);

            et_f = (EditText) myDialog.findViewById(R.id.et_pass);
            et_f.setText(et1.getText().toString());
            t5 = (TextView) myDialog.findViewById(R.id.textView4);
            t5.setVisibility(View.GONE);

            // for OK
            Button ok = (Button) myDialog.findViewById(R.id.button1);
            ok.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {


            });
            myDialog.show();

try this by code..

usename_edit.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(true);

and

edit_password.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(true);

there is also can done from xml by setting scrollbars prop. of edittext

 scrollbars="horizonatal"

for password problem set this prop. to editext in xml:

android:inputType="textPassword"

1) Edit field is not scrolling horizontally if the text come more it comes down .

Add an attribute to your EditText as android:singleLine="true"

Add an attribute to your as android:inputType="textPassword" to the edit_password

3) If I want to show this in pop up screen mean a small window how it is possible

You'll need an AlertDialog for this. Checkout this tutorial.

1) to make it scrollable use: .setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(true); in your activity class, or this scrollbars="horizonatal" in your edittext xml.

2) to make the password *****: use android:inputType="textPassword" in your edittext xml.

3) to show a popup, you can use alertDialog.
