I want an Android multiline input control that scrolls but is not

create the control:

   mobileControlSet "displayInput", "editable", "false"

but it is always editable.

In case anyone is following this, I did some searching and found out that the editable property has been deprecated on Android. It will still work with SDK 11 (I think that's Froyo) and earlier, but fails on any OS newer than that. The SDK provides no clear alternative. Stack Overflow has many questions about how to create a non-editable text field that still allows copying, and there are apparently some kludgy workarounds if you are doing it in Java, but there's nothing I could see that will help us in LiveCode.
