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>
As well as the XML settings identified by droidgren, my tests have shown that if the text you want to display is shorter than the width of the textview, then the marquee won't scroll at all. Possible solutions are to set the width of the view to a size smaller than the length of the text, or to concatenate the string to itself 2 or 3 times, with perhaps appropriate whitespace in-between so that the scrolling looks ok.
final TextView tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tx.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.MARQUEE);
tx.setSelected(true);
tx.setSingleLine(true);
tx.setText("Marquee needs only three things to make it run and these three things are mentioned above.");
You do not need to use "android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever" into xml file. Marquee will work even without this.
With the above answer, you cannot set the speed or have flexibility for customizing the text view functionality. To have your own scroll speed and flexibility to customize marquee properties, use the following:
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
android:lines="1"
android:id="@+id/myTextView"
android:padding="4dp"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="Simple application that shows how to use marquee, with a long text" />
In MainActivity.java file, you can get the reference of this TextView by using findViewById() and you can set the following property to this TextView to make it appear like a marquee text:
And here is My Java File code. i have set my html text on server just replace your text on textview object. i have put this code is marquee tag with clickable if any links on this textview to open mobile or webBrowser.
Lots of answers correctly state that calling textView.setSelected(true) is required. However, if preferred to do so just via XML, one option could be to make use of the Binding Adapters when working with Data Binding.
