Just surround the edittext with a scrollview. I tested and works fine.

I think you're looking for this:

<ListView
 ...
 android:fastScrollEnabled="true"/>

and this to "jump" in listView:

put the text box in a scrollview so that you move the textfield around and not the cursor in the text

<ScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1">
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/YourText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</ScrollView>
