Enable Scrollable EditText within a ScrollView and ViewFlipper

Question

I have a two layout in a ViewFlipper which contains ScrollView in each of the layout. However, my EditText does not work and I know the reason is due to the ScrollView. However, though I tried the answers in Disable ScrollView action , none worked for me. Is there a problem with my xml some where? My xml is such shown below:

PageFlipper

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FFF"
android:id="@+id/flipperlayout"
android:orientation="vertical">

<!-- Header -->

<include
    android:id="@+id/include1"
    layout="@layout/prepostheader" />

    <RelativeLayout 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    android:layout_below="@+id/include1"
    android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="5dp"

    android:text="Page 2" />

    android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/btnPage2"
    android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
    android:background="@drawable/button"
    android:text="Page 1" />
</RelativeLayout>


<ViewFlipper

    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

Main Actvity Class:

You can Perform this below way and also see this link

 EditText EtOne = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.comment1);
    EtOne.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                    if (v.getId() == R.id.comment1) {
                        v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                        switch (event.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) {
                        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                            v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                    return false;
                }
            });
