Android Question Android Text Selection

[Rusty]

I have a Scrollview with its panel loaded and have addview an EditText onto the panel (using full size in order to be able to scroll the view).
Now when the user touches the text and holds it (long touch), the Android Text Selection pops down from the top of the screen with options (Select All, Cut, Copy, Search and share), none of these are desired.
Is there a way to stop the long touch or to disable or intercept the Text Selection function built into the Android operating system?

My intention is to be able to scroll an EditText that is too large to fit on a screen...

Thanks,
Rusty

Does the user edit the text? If not then you should use CustomListView.AddText to create a scrollable label.

Yes, the edit text starts out empty.
Using the keyboard or voice they can describe details of an issue, up to 5000 characters.
As they type, I would like the edit text data to scroll so the current words are showing above the keyboard as they type.
When they speak, I can hide the keyboard, but when they exceed the maximum viewable number of characters I then need the edit text text to scroll upward so they can see where they left off.
Thanks Erel
