Marquee text in Android

Question

How can I use marquee text in an android application?

Answer 1

Here is an example:

public class TextViewMarquee extends Activity {     private TextView tv;     @Override     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.main);         tv = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.mywidget);           tv.setSelected(true);  // Set focus to the textview     } } 

The xml file with the textview:

<RelativeLayout     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent">     <TextView         android:id="@+id/mywidget"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_alignParentRight="true"         android:singleLine="true"         android:ellipsize="marquee"         android:fadingEdge="horizontal"         android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"         android:scrollHorizontally="true"         android:textColor="#ff4500"         android:text="Simple application that shows how to use marquee, with a long text" /> </RelativeLayout>
