Android autoscrolling text view

Question

I would like to implement a auto scrolling text view in a native Android app.

Something like a vertically scrolling marquee. The idea being that it looks something similar to an autocue, the text will remain static and scroll once more text has been provided.

I am happy to work out the logic of scrolling the text when new text arrives. I am just looking for ideas on how to have that text feed/scroll effect animation.

Thank you

Maybe start here to make the textview scrollable:

After that, you should be able to use an object animator, such as:

Do like: in XML:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dp"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
        android:maxLines="5" />

And in java:

textView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod())
