Answer 1

Perform ScrollView .pageScroll() or ScrollView.smoothScrollBy() on the tap event of the button.

Use a Runnable to continues invoke ScrollView.scrollBy() when long press event happens. I wrote a demo for you.

public class TestAndroidActivity extends Activity implements OnTouchListener,
        OnGestureListener {
    private static final String TAG = "TestAndroid";
    private Handler mHandler = new Handler();
    private ScrollView mScrollView;
    private Button mBtnUp;
    private Button mBtnDown;
    private View mCurBtn;
    private GestureDetector mDetecor;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        mScrollView = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scroll);
        mBtnUp = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_up);
        mBtnDown = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_down);
        mBtnUp.setOnTouchListener(this);
        mBtnDown.setOnTouchListener(this);
        mDetecor = new GestureDetector(this, this);
    }

    private long mStartTime = 0;
    private float mSpeed = 0.5f;
    private Runnable mScrollRunnable = new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            int dy = (int) ((SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - mStartTime) * mSpeed);
            mStartTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
            int direction = getCurrentBtnDirection();
            if (direction == View.FOCUS_UP)
                dy *= -1;
            mScrollView.scrollBy(0, dy);
            mHandler.post(this);
        }
    };

    private int getCurrentBtnDirection() {
        if (mCurBtn == mBtnUp) {
            return View.FOCUS_UP;
        } else if (mCurBtn == mBtnDown) {
            return View.FOCUS_DOWN;
        } else
            return 0;
    }

    private void perfromPageScroll() {
        int direction = getCurrentBtnDirection();
        mScrollView.pageScroll(direction);
    }

    private void stopContinuousScroll() {
        mStartTime = 0;
        mHandler.removeCallbacks(mScrollRunnable);
    }

    private void startContinuousScroll() {
        mStartTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
        mHandler.post(mScrollRunnable);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        mCurBtn = v;
        mDetecor.onTouchEvent(event);
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            stopContinuousScroll();
        }
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
        perfromPageScroll();
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
        startContinuousScroll();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onShowPress(MotionEvent e) {
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onScroll(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float distanceX,
            float distanceY) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX,
            float velocityY) {
        return false;
    }

}

If you want to detect the scroll state of the ScrollView to enable or disable the buttons, you must write a CustomView to extends ScrollView and override the OnScrollChanged() method.

EDIT: add the layout

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/scroll"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text="1

"
            android:textSize="32sp" />
    </ScrollView>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_up"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:text="up" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_down"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:text="down" />

</RelativeLayout>

EDIT2: If you are using a ListView, you can use ListView.smoothScrollBy() to replace ScrollView.scrollBy(). There is not a pageScroll() method in ListView, write it by yourself, it's not very hard.

EDIT3: pageScroll for ListView

private void pageScroll(ListView l) {
    l.smoothScrollBy(l.getHeight(), 300);
}
