Android Question How to set EditText cursor position Y?

[T201016]

Hi!
Is it possible to be able to set the cursor to the "Y" position in EditText or FloatLabeledEditText?
I miss just such a method "edittext.scrollY() ..."

For B4XFloatTextfield.Textfield and EditText1

    B4XFloatTextField1.TextField.RequestFocus
    B4XFloatTextField1.TextField.SetSelection(cursorPosition, 0)

    EditText1.RequestFocus
    EditText1.SetSelection(cursorPosition, 0)

If you have a multiline view, and you want to move cursor to line i, you have to find the cursor position of the start of line i.
Not really a big challenge.

Welcome William,

Thank you for the valuable hint, and if you are already in the topic, there is probably a method to obtain programmatic multiline scrolling in edittext, similar to: ScrollY = joEditText.RunMethod ("getScrollY", Null). My idea is to get the effect that I will scroll EditText1 manually, and at the same time have it programmatically scroll itself in another EditText2.
