Marquee TextView not working in Android Layout

Question

I'm trying to get @+id/trackname and @+id/artist_and_album to use the marquee setting in the following layout but they won't scroll. I also tried using setSelected(true) and setFocusable(true) in the actual Activity but that didn't work. Here is a picture of the layout:

and the XML:

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/player_actionbar"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="48dip"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/close"
        android:layout_width="56dip"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:padding="4dip"
        android:scaleType="centerInside"
        android:background="@drawable/bg_actionbar_item"
        android:src="@drawable/icn_close" />

    <View

            android:paddingLeft="10dip"
            android:paddingRight="12dip"
            android:paddingTop="8dip"
            android:background="@null"
            android:src="@drawable/btn_player_repeat_normal" />

    </RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>

I also included the following lines in my activity:

    mTrackName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.trackname);
    mTrackName.setSelected(true);
    mArtistAndAlbumName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.artist_and_album);
    mArtistAndAlbumName.setSelected(true);

It appears the original layout with the nested RelativeLayout was preventing the text from scrolling.
