Auto scrolling (horizontal running) TextView

Advertisemen

It's follow-up post about my old post of "Implement auto-running TextView", to make a TextView horizontal scrolling automatically.

This video show how it tested on Android emulator running Android 7.0 Nougat API 24, in Multi-Window Mode also.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="16dp"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context="com.blogspot.android_er.androidautotextview.MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="20dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:autoLink="web"
        android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/scrollingtext"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="40dp"
        android:background="#D0D0D0"
        android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"

        android:focusable="true"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:scrollHorizontally="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:marqueeRepeatLimit ="marquee_forever"/>

</LinearLayout>

And set it selected in Java code.

package com.blogspot.android_er.androidautotextview;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    TextView scrollingText;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        scrollingText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.scrollingtext);
        scrollingText.setSelected(true);

    }
}
