Horizontal scrollbar

<HorizontalScrollView 
        android:id="@+id/featured_horizontal"
        android:layout_below="@id/featured_bar"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"

                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

Solution

  •      Timer timer = new Timer();
            timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
    
                @Override
                public void run() {
    
    
                 runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { 
    
        @Override 
        public void run() { 
        horScrollViewOG.scrollBy(1, 0); 
        horScrollViewOG.scrollBy(-1, 0); 
        } 
        });
                }
            }, 0, 1000);
