How can i disable a scrollview?

Question

I am using relativelayout and inside it a scrollview and inside it a linear layout and a textview which is ensuring scrolling of textview, but I do not want to scroll the text after the particular condition. So, what can I do for this?

To make the scrollbars invisible use this attribute.

android:scrollbars="none"

Edit:

if there is need of runtime changes on visibility or state of enabling, for that we can use the scrolview.setEnabled(false) or android:enabled=false.

There is no direct way to stop scrollview to scroll but u can do it in other way Like:

//global boolean variable
boolean enable = true;    

scrollview.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() 
{

   @Override
   public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) 
   {

      return !enable;
   }
});

when you set enable variable to true it will start scrolling and when you set it to false it stop scrolling.

this is the best answer. I don't know why is the other answer accepted. This one should be accepted as real answer. I've tried previous, and it's not working. setEnabled on a ScrollView is not applicable. This listener works flawlessly. Thanks! – Reinherd Mar 28 '13 at 10:20

If I interpreted your question correctly, you probably want to extend ScrollView and write your own implementation of onInterceptTouchEvent. You could then make your ScrollView conditionally ignore touch events, thus disabling the scrolling behavior. See this question for more details.
