I have been trying to develop an android app that contain an activity which is scrollable
and inside the activity, I have 2 textView which I want them to be scrollable as well.

My problem is that
whenever I touch inside the textView the scrolls show up but the main activity part which is the linearLayout directly steel the focus and no longer the textView scroll

the way I have it now is setup for the textView to scroll in the xml file I have done that.
and if I keep raising my finger and put it back on the screen trying to scroll the textView I can move a little bit but as I said, the layout that contains the textView capture the focus and leave me unable to scroll the textView.

I hope I did explain my problem very well.

Please any suggestion to help.

let me explain how the app is built first
first part is: the main(first) activity is a tabHost
which I defined as scrollable

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" > 
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >   
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="422dp" >
</FrameLayout>
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="63dp" >
</TabWidget>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</TabHost>

```

where I am having problem with is this activity

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
