Here's a sample layout:

Sample Layout

so... The edit text that you see at the bottom most part of the screen has a match_parent attributes on both its layout_height and width.

The max allowed characters are 200, but if the user hits 'enter' a lot of times, the overall vertical length increases. When it goes beyond the scope, it should show a scrollbar if you scroll on the edit text.

Right now, the text scrolls but the scroll bar is absent. :[

Thanks for your help! :)

By scroll bar, i only mean only the visual indicator. The types you see on a lisview which you can't really hold and scroll, but just indicates how long the list is. – Parikksit Bhisay Apr 21 '15 at 19:45
might be helpful to share your code, so someone can try it. – Anthea Apr 21 '15 at 19:49
