How to make an Android text view scroll

Question

I am trying to make a textview scroll.

I used :

android:ellipsize="marquee"

but it's not working

Try to add `android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"` ,`android:singleLine="true"` and `android:scrollHorizontally="true"` — GVillani82, Jul 09 '15 at 12:02
@Malko try selecting your textView in this way: textView.setSelected(true); — Jorge Casariego, Jul 09 '15 at 12:13

try selecting your textView in this way

textView.setSelected(true);

This works because when you scroll over an item in a list view, only then does the now-selected text start scrolling. And since this particular TextView isn't focusable or clickable, it will never lose its selection state.

Thanks to Christopher Orr for explaining in a easy way in this post
