Actually I have tried both marquee and scrollHorizontally. There was a previous topic that I responded to a couple of days ago with the marquee layout code (that also doesn't work).
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/5f466bd386877029 I was suspecting that some of the TextView attributes are only valid for EditText views. Is that right - and if so how do you know which TextView attributes are only valid for EditText views? This seems pretty basic - how to use a wide line of text on a small screen device. What are good ways to deal with this use case? On Feb 1, 5:31 pm, Romain Guy <[email protected]> wrote: > scrollHorizontally enables user scrolling for editable text fields.
