Answer for posterity: Need to setClickable and setLongClickable to false (must be both, setting one or the other still causes dimming).
Need to set above _after_ calling setMovementMethod (ScrollingMovementMethod.getInstance()). Setting XML properties doesn't work since they seem to be overridden by call to ScrollingMovementMeathod. _Text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text); _Text.setMovementMethod(ScrollingMovementMethod.getInstance()); _Text.setClickable(false); // Both Clickable and LongClickable must be turned off _Text.setLongClickable(false); // after setting the MovementMeathod in order to avoid dimming effect On Apr 8, 11:49 am, "sh...@kfold.org" <sh...@kfold.org> wrote: > When scrolling in a TextView it has an annoying effect that dims the > background while scrolling (touch scrolling).
