                            android:singleLine="true"
                            android:text="Simple application that shows how to use marquee, with a long text"
                            android:textColor="@color/white"
                            android:textColorHint="@color/white"
                            android:textSize="25dp" />

In Activity OnCreate

TextView inputAvailableCash = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.mtextcash);
inputAvailableCash.setSelected(true);

Thanks in Advance

Since the text is very long and and your code will only work if you write the text in single line. Either add

 android:singleline="true" 

in xml or change your java code to.

  TextView inputAvailableCash = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.mtextcash);
        inputAvailableCash.setSelected(true);
         inputAvailableCash.setSingleLine(true);

This will surely work for you.
