How make text moving from left to right in Android?

Question

I use this code to make text move and it moves correctly from right to left.

Nevertheless, I want to make the text in TextView move from left to right.

Here is my current code:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/mylinenews"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="5"
    android:ellipsize="marquee"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
    android:scrollHorizontally="true"
    android:singleLine="true"

    android:text="textmoving textmoving textmoving textmoving textmoving textmoving textmoving textmoving textmoving textmoving "
    android:textColor="#fff"
/>

How can I modify this code so the text moves from left to right?

Answer 1

Use below xml code in anim folder under res :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
    android:fillAfter="true">

   <translate
        android:fromXDelta="-3%p"
        android:toXDelta="3%p"
        android:duration="1200" />
</set>

And, just add this to your textview :

yourTextView.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(activity, R.anim.move));

Answer 2

If you want to shake the text than In Your Activity Use

Animation shake = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(YourActivity.this, R.anim.shake);
            YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.startAnimation(shake);

Create a folder name anim in res i.e. res..> anim and create two xml in anim folder 1) shake.xml 2) cycle.xml

In Your shake.xml write

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="20" android:duration="7000"
    android:interpolator="@anim/cycle" /> 

and in your cycle.xml write

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cycleInterpolator xmlns:android="schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:cycles="10" />

Enjoy Animated Text in android text view :)
