i took ages for me to find a solution for this though it was hidden
somewhere in internet..
anyways the solution is to add the tag <requestFocus/> in your
textview:)
Eg:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/left_text_box_0"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusable="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever">
<requestFocus/>
</TextView>
