Android: how to make multiline text auto scroll down?

I want to make the multiline text auto scroll down as I add in more text:

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/Text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@+id/TypeBox"
        android:layout_below="@+id/ReceiverName"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
        android:layout_weight="0.65"
        android:ems="10"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:gravity="bottom"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine|textNoSuggestions" >
</EditText>

I have tried searching for it but all i could find is auto scroll of a text box within a scroll view.

I think, you need to add a line:

android:inputType="textFilter|textMultiLine|textNoSuggestions"
