Trying to populate an textview(s) from an array. I managed to get the desired effect via XML via the code below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/marque_scrolling_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:padding="16dp"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="Create a Marquee (Scrolling Text) in Android Using TextView. Android Marquee (Scrolling Text) Tutorial with Example"
android:textSize="24sp" />
</LinearLayout>
But I need several of these in an array - so I believe creating the textviews programmatically may be the answer, but cant get them to marquee. This is the code im working on.
String[] strings = {"Mark", "James", "Paul"};
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearlayout);
for(String s : strings)
{
TextView newTextView = new TextView(this);
newTextView.setText(s);
newTextView.setSingleLine(true);
newTextView.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END);
newTextView.setHorizontallyScrolling(true);
newTextView.setLines(1);
newTextView.setMarqueeRepeatLimit(-1);
newTextView.setSelected(true);
newTextView.setTextSize(24);
layout.addView(newTextView);
}
Try this.. It work
TextView testing = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.testing);
testing.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.MARQUEE);
testing.setMarqueeRepeatLimit(-1);
testing.setSingleLine(true);
testing.setSelected(true);
