Android, make scrollable view overflow to the left instead of right?

Question

I was recommended using a parent view to get horizontal scrolling right in my TextView:

Answer 1

Did you try assigning the ellipsize parameter to your textview?

android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="start"

I hope this will solve your issue.

For setting the gravity of the text when not overflowing, try setting

android:gravity="center_vertical|right"
