I have run into a similar problem. Apparently focus is required to
get ellipsize="marquee" or scrollHorizontal="true" to operate. I
haven't found where that is documented? Can anyone point that out?
Bigger problem is I have one line TextView and even giving it focus
doesn't allow it to scroll. What am I doing wrong here:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/wanttoscrollt"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:text="Blah blah andlongwordandmore"
></TextView>
I tried setting <requestFocus/> in the layout and also tried calling
requestFocus() in onCreate(). I always wind up with static text that
is truncated. :(
My objective is to put some wide text into a narrow TextView and allow
the user to see (but not change) the part that is not initially
visible.
