I have custom gallery. Gallery represents items that are frame layout. There are one imageView and textView above it.
If text in textView is too long, i need it to be scrolled automatically. It's one line of text, and it's needed to be scrolled horizontally.
I've found this snippet of code:
TextView
android:text="Single-line text view that scrolls automatically"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit ="marquee_forever"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
It works in my test app with only one text view in it. But it doesn't work in my gallery. Noting happens, text just stay still.
Any help?
I've tried everything, and finally came up with this. This works for me...hope that this will help you someday. Cheers.
