Marquee using maxLines

Question

How can I have a marquee using MaxLines instead of SingleLine ?

This is my TextView :

Answer 1

In XML

<TextView
    android:text="11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111"
    android:id="@+id/text_marquee"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:maxLines="1"
    android:ellipsize="marquee"
    android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
    />

In Java

((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_marquee)).setHorizontallyScrolling(true);
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_marquee)).setSelected(true);

Answer 2

You can try using this :

android:maxLength = "10"

OR

After setting android:maxLines="1", you have to set your inputType too. So, set your android:inputType="text" and that should do the trick.
