TextView Marquee not working [duplicate]

Answer 1

working now :) Code attached below

<TextView
    android:text="START | lunch 20.00 | Dinner 60.00 | Travel 60.00 | Doctor 5000.00 | lunch 20.00 | Dinner 60.00 | Travel 60.00 | Doctor 5000.00 | END"
    android:id="@+id/MarqueeText" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:ellipsize="marquee" 
    android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
    android:scrollHorizontally="true" 
    android:paddingLeft="15dip" 
    android:paddingRight="15dip" 
    android:focusable="true" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true" 
    android:freezesText="true">

Edit (on behalf of Adil Hussain):

textView.setSelected(true) needs to be set in code behind for this to work.

Answer 2

Very Simple working code:

For infinitely scrolling text

            <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView_News_HeadLine"
            style="@style/black_extra_large_heading_text"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
            android:ellipsize="marquee"
            android:marqueeRepeatLimit="-1"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:text="HeadLine: Banglawash To be Continued" />

& you should must write from your activity

textView.setSelected(true);

package com.app.relativejavawindow;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.text.TextUtils.TruncateAt;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    TextView textView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        final RelativeLayout relativeLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
        final RelativeLayout relativeLayoutbotombar = new RelativeLayout(this);
        textView = new TextView(this);
        textView.setId(1);

        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativlayparamter = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
                RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);

        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativlaybottombar = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
                RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        relativeLayoutbotombar.setLayoutParams(relativlaybottombar);


        textView.setText("Simple application that shows how to use marquee, with a long ");
        textView.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.MARQUEE);
        textView.setSelected(true);
        textView.setSingleLine(true);


        relativeLayout.addView(relativeLayoutbotombar);
        relativeLayoutbotombar.addView(textView);
        //relativeLayoutbotombar.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
        setContentView(relativeLayout, relativlayparamter);

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
