Stop Scrolling auto in EditText

I use EditText with option scrollbars=vertical to write my data in my app. The problem is when I received data my scrollbar automatically goes down. I would like to prevent automatic scrolling when I press the screen

  <EditText
    android:id="@+id/edCapteur"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#9CE49C"
    android:focusable="false"
    android:scrollbars="vertical"

    />

I use this for add data in my edidtext:

edidtext.append("data");

This is because the cursor of edittext is moved to the end. You need to keep the cursor at its original position

int originalPosition = edidtext.getSelectionStart();
edidtext.append("data");
edidtext.setSelection(originalPosition);
