how to view all text inside TextView

I am having a problem with my TextView.

When the text inside my text view is too long, i cannot view it anymore because i cannot scroll it on my phone.

My code is as follows:

 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/lightgray"
        tools:context=".BucketItemDescActivity" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_below="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="25dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="19dp"
            android:text="The Godfather is a 1972 American epic crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by Albert S. Ruddy from a screenplay by Mario Puzo and Coppola. Based on Puzo&apos;s 1969 novel of the same name, the film stars Marlon Brando and Al Pacino as the leaders of a powerful New York crime family. The story, spanning the years 1945 to 1955, centers on the ascension of Michael Corleone (Pacino) from reluctant family outsider to ruthless Mafia boss while also chronicling the Corleone family under the patriarch Vito Corleone (Brando)

                android:id="@+id/textView1"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_margin="10dp"
                android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
                android:textSize="15sp" 
                android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                android:text="The Godfather (1972)" />

        </LinearLayout>

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/frameLayout1"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_marginTop="18dp"
            android:src="@drawable/movie1" />

    </RelativeLayout>

Add a ScrollView to yourTextView, 

<ScrollView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_below="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="25dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="19dp"
            android:scrollbars="none">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="The Godfather is a 1972 American epic crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by Albert S. Ruddy from a screenplay by Mario Puzo and Coppola.

            android:textSize="12sp" />

</ScrollView>

EDIT

To add ImageView inside scrollView, remove the ImageView from where it is and add it like this,

<ScrollView  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_below="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="25dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="19dp"
            android:scrollbars="none">

    <LinearLayout  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

            <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_marginTop="18dp"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Please Use below XML code instead of your code for that, it will solve your problem.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

        <RelativeLayout

Try this :

Set this to your TextView :

android:maxLines = "AN_INTEGER"    
android:scrollbars = "vertical"

And then use this from your Activity:

yourTextView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

Thanks.

Place all the views inside ScrollView.

For example:

<RelativeLayout
       xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/lightgray"
        tools:context=".BucketItemDescActivity">

  <ScrollView>
     <TextView/>
     <TextView/>
     ..........
     ..........
     ..........

  </ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
