How to scroll in textarea on mobile

[jd42]

Hi, is it possible to scroll within a textarea if you type in a longer text without a scrollbar like in other apps (e. g. Whatsapp). In my case it always selects the text and i'm not able to scroll by touch and move. It is a bit annoying. Is there a way or a workaround to do that? I'm developing on android apps.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to wrap the TextArea inside a ScrollView like this?

scrollable-textarea

not so easy for the textarea to know if you want to scroll or tap and edit/select text or if you want to scoll in on outer Scrollview

perhaps this gives you some ideas:
