Start from the top of the layout / activity

I'm working on android app, and I have the screen where the user can register and put the information about himself. it's a long screen where the user needs to scroll down to complete it. When I'm testing it with the emulator, the courser always goes to the last EditText box which is android:id="@+id/tbJoinBio.

I want the courser to start from the top box android:id="@+id/tbJoinUsername
