Android Question Scrollbar on EditTexts

[Rusty]

In this post (post #10), CanalRun indicated that the XML for an EditText could be edited to allow a scrollbar to be shown on edittexts.
Does anyone know how to edit the XML and where it is?
Thanks

In this post (post #10), CanalRun indicated that the XML for an EditText could be edited to allow a scrollbar to be shown on edittexts.

The response seemed to say that a res XML file needs to be modified to include a vertical scrollbar in the EditText object:

But, modifying res XML files is beyond my capability.

Hopefully someone can confirm and describe how this is done.

Does anyone know how to edit the XML and where it is?

Are you developing with Android Studio and it´s layouts?

Using b4a there is NO XML file involved which you could edit

I don´t know if you can set the properties using javaobject at runtime.

If you want the scroll bars to always appear: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/edittext-scroll.58474/post-368164

Definitely using B4a.
I'll try Erel's suggestion and report back...
Thanks!

OK, the post Erel mentioned is the one that blows up as per all the comments.
Is there a way to make that work?

You are correct, it doesn't work with material theme.

If you don't need the text to be editable then use xCLV.AddText instead of EditText.
